My mate went through Alabama and saw people with rifles in the back of their utes and thought it was great. You have to be an American to open carry in America don't you? or could you just be a perminent recedent? |
As long as you can legally own a firearm, you can openly carry it. That will vary from state to state, depending on their laws on open carry, and whether or not legal alien residents can own firearms, but there is a silent push to make it so for any legal resident alien.
I believe federal law has no problem with it, and in Michigan, the part of our laws that restricted ownership from legal resident aliens has been defeated. In fact, here in Michigan, a legal resident alien can get a Concealed Pistol License as well.
