Men in balaclavas packing semi-automatic rifles and wearing camouflage, bulletproof vests and combat boots
marched into the Kentucky Capitol in Frankfort on Friday, driving out terrified visitors.
The men were gun rights activists and members of the group We Are KY Gun Owners, staging a Second Amendment rally proving they have a right to appear to be a paramilitary operation in the
open carry state. They were allowed by security to step around the Capitol’s metal detectors.
