Meh, I disagree. Talks about infiltrating mosques. Very much not conservative.
No in fact that makes him very conservative and makes him pretty much the poster child for the current Republican Party, it makes him the exact opposite of a RINO.
Which is why imediately after a tragedy it is the wrong time to demand justice or shout "something must me done!", because it is not thought out in long term consequences usually.
Emotions ran high after 9/11 and look what happened after.
Ahhh, last Saturday's events would lead most people with some degree of common sense to conclude that those are exactly places where you should have a gun for protection. I'm sure it's been mentioned in the other threads, but one person with a CCW in that crowd could have stopped things before 20 people were shot.
I read that their was a person but things went down so
fast and that the alleged shooter was being held down by citizens,
this person made the right choice not to draw causing further confusion.

We just differ on the term "conservative". To me, it seems he's taking the big government progressive approach to monitor people in this country. See, unlike others who cannot clearly articulate what it means to be conservative (monitoring people = conservative? LOL maybe RINO neo-con-munist, but not conservative), my definitions are consistent. Civil liberties = conservative. No civil liberties = progressive/RINO. You don't make exceptions just because the monitored is a muslim or a tea partier.

I saw one post on a gun forum about someone having a CCW, but haven't seen it discussed anywhere else. Got a link, I'd like to learn?

It certainly doesn't make him a progressive or a liberal. It sure as hell doesn't make him a RINO. RINO = Republican in Name Only. That type of approach to Mosques is a VERY Republican one.
Conservatives love and go gaga over Jim Demit, he is a huge tea party favorite, but he is EXTREMELY pro government control on social issues.

Yes, it's very republican but it's not conservative. We go back to my equation:
Republican != conservative

Saw that on ar15.com as well. Looks like CCW handlers would be exempt, probably because they took a course (?)
Of course, in Vermont we have no such permits...none are needed...
