They went to those rallies with side arms, so they were expecting trouble or attempting to intimate.
No, I think those were just gun rights retards.

Yeah just taking them because they always take them. Or to make a point about carrying. Not because they expect to open up.

I seriously doubt they walk into the bank or a gas station with a handgun on their hips.

I walk into stores with my legal CCW weapon. Unless it is marked they don't want guns in them.

Of course, Federal buildings, banks and schools are right out.

I blame the state school system. After all, my classical education taught me to disdain the money that I'm never going to earn.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny.

Usually. Sometimes my suit jacket is open and the shoulder holster peeks through. Nobody bats an eye over it.

So what happens if you're carrying and it turns out you need to enter a federal building, bank or school? Do you leave the gun in the glove compartment or trunk of your car?

Yeah pretty much. And Raz--yes they do. I see people in the 7-11 like that all the time. A rarely go into a bank, but I imagine the "open carry" nuts would definitely go there too.

I never saw the point in carrying a huge revolver on your thigh like John Wayne or whatever.

A few years ago someone was spoted with a gun sitting on the steps of the art gallery.  The streets were cleared, the tatical team was mobilized and after some time a negotiator convinced the loon to give up his gun.  What civilized society needs guns?

FYPFY.  Pretty fucked up reaction, I agree.

I have never seen anyone carry a large revolver on their hip openly like that who wasn't a police officer something similar to that.  If you go to a rally with a big gun on your hip you are attempting to send a message.

I suppose if one is used to living in a "pretty fucked up" society where carrying guns is commonplace one would tend to think as you do.

But you do make me pause.  I agree that a liberal arts education can be important for personal self-improvement.  I don't think I'd want to strip gen ed classes out of the cirriculum.  At the same time, it's not like anyone needs a history degree to be educated in history, or an art degree to be educated in art.  Is a history degree an investment or a glorified hobby?  At (let's say) $30,000, it's an expensive hobby.

Depends. No job I've ever had has been in my degree field.
