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.
