I can tell you there are very good reasons for not packing at a political event. I certainly wouldn't. Good way to get Oswalded.
There are plenty of crazoids running loose nowadays and if one of them decides to shoot a politician, I don't wanna even be near a gun lest some pusssy liberal screech that I did it. I can easily let the government be responsible for security at such an event and if I feel like I just gotta go, I will take my chances unarmed.
Not to get too far off point on this tragedy, but if if plenty of folks were armed in everyday fashion, being armed at a political event would not be so unusual.........
And I adamantly believe there are FAR more good Americans out there than bad/kooky ones.
