Me thinks that you really do not understand the concept in its entirety, no one ever said that it was illegal it just does not make sense to carry a loaded firearm to a debate regarding health issues.

You can river dance in church and it is perfectly legal...but do you really need to do it?

So in otherwords, you feel that your personal safety is involved? Have these "union thugs" harmed anyone? If a shuffle breaks out do you plan on shooting anyone? If you do raise your weapon even in self defense you do realize that the SS will gun you down. My question is why take that chance? I know that it is your right to carry a gun but is it really worth the hassle.

Nah, it's no big deal. While I'm in the process of getting acquitted within a few months, they'll probably confiscate my handgun. I've got plenty more where they came from. Plus I get my 15 minutes of fame.

If the SS were to shoot someone in the middle of a scuffle not related to any sort of devious plot, it would be a HUGE problem for Obama in the polls. Instant 10-20 point drop. Bye bye to the few gun owners who supported Obama, as well as civil right liberals who held their noses in 2008 and pulled the Obama lever.

Let's let that be a secret between us and the Secret Service

Maybe we should just outlaw being stupid, everyone can take a test and rights will only be given to smart people.

The only people I've noticed harming anyone (spitting on faces and pushing to the ground) were union thugs. Not one incident originated from a townhall protester. Yet the tin foil hat anti-gunners abound.

I notice that many of you are throwing the "freedom" word around, let me pose this thought to you all.....Some time ago slave owners had the right and the "Freedom" to own another human being. Don't you think that some freedoms should have some limitations or at least some logical restraints?

Joe Scarborough called these guys idiots the other day. Said they make the majority of gun owners look bad and make the Secret Service's job more difficult.
