Beaver County Man In Court For Having Gun At Obama Rally

A Beaver County man has been ordered to stand trial on charges that he allegedly disrupted a presidential campaign rally for Sen. Barack Obama by wearing a gun and carrying a Bible outside the event.

Police charged 50-year-old John Noble, of Industry, with disorderly conduct for the incident at Irvine Park in Beaver.

Noble says he did nothing wrong at the Aug. 29 rally by showing "Sen. Obama that Pennsylvanians do, in fact 'cling to their guns and religion."'

He was referring to a comment Obama made in April about small-town Americans being bitter and clinging to guns and religion.
