I do find it hilarious that you might be allowed to openly carry a firearm, but a bow with arrows, that’s where we draw the line!
Perhaps in the context of that bow and arrow is silent? Where as you cannot discharge a firearm without anyone knowing.
Comment on In Open Carry states, is it also allowed to openly carry bladed weapons like Swords? Bow and arrow?

not necessarily. the us interpretation of the second has only ever been about guns. weapons like you mention are often banned as well as body armor and less than lethal weapons.

it annoys me that defensive things like bullet proof clothing and tazers are often illegal. So its legal to defend yourself with lethal force but if you don’t want to kill people then to bad so sad for you.

I have a new interpretation for the second amendment: it is a right to bear arms. As in bears, the animals, all americans have the rights to their arms. Not to like remove them or anything, more like intellectual property rights, as in you have the right to create, possess, distribute, sell, relicense, modify, make derivatives of, reverse engineer, request the design schematics of, and repair any art or technology based on bear arms.
