A man open carries a pistol outside an event where President Obama spoke at in Portsmouth, NH yesterday. He was carrying a sign which read,
"It is time to water the tree of liberty."
A reference to the famous quote by Thomas Jefferson about how liberty requires the blood of patriots and tyrants to stay alive.
It is also nice to note that the chief of police of Portsmouth New Hampshire stood behind this man's actions, and reiterated that it was indeed his right to open carry there legally.
The following link contains the MSNBC news clip with the footage. I would post the video in the message here but I am unaware of how to do that (feel free to do it below for me if you know how for reader convenience).

Here is the same gentleman being interviewed later, on "Hardball".
