McCain on his visit to Georgia.
If that is the true story then I can forgive the gold plating.
And as far as "open carry" goes, I'm sure he has a CCW like all us good Arizonans do.
Not that that will help him in DC.

Arizona is 'open-carry'; too bad McCain won't be strutting around with it on his hip http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/01/caption_contest_15.html#comment-97609 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/01/caption_contest_15.html#comment-97609 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:45:49 -0600 More than likely, he isn't allowed to keep it as it could be construed as a conflict of interest. It'll likely end up as a show peice at the Arizona Capital building or some such. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/01/caption_contest_15.html#comment-97607 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2010/01/caption_contest_15.html#comment-97607 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:35:04 -0600
Nice piece, and with concealed carry, no one has to see that it is a pimp pistol.
