It was the second instance in recent days in which unconcealed weapons have appeared near presidential events <br /><br /> Video from the protest in Phoenix, Arizona, shows the man standing with other protesters, with the rifle slung over his right shoulder.<br /><br />Phoenix police said authorities monitored about a dozen people carrying weapons while peacefully demonstrating.<br /><br />"It was a group interested in exercising the right to bear arms," said police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill.<br /><br />Arizona law has nothing in the books regulating assault rifles, and only requires permits for carrying concealed weapons. So despite the man's proximity to the president, there were no charges or arrests to be made.
