The '''Open-Carry Movement''' is a recent movement towards the [[freedom]] to openly carry a loaded [[gun]] for [[self defense]] purposes. Open-Carry supporters argue that since they have the an [[unalienable right]] (enshrined in the [[Second Amendment]]) to own and possess a [[gun]] ([[handgun]], [[rifle]] or [[shotgun]]) on their person then they should also have the right, which they do, to carry their weapons in the open without having to hide them away.

This political movement has quickly gained popularity in the [[United States]] particularly in the [[conservative]]-[[libertarian]]-minded [[American Redoubt]] states of [[Idaho]], [[Wyoming]], [[Montana]], [[Utah]], [[Washington State|Eastern Washington]] and [[Oregon]], along with certain other Western "free states" (see [[Red States]]) such as [[Arizona]], [[Texas]], and [[Alaska]]
