I think that's obvious:

Her friend, who carried a gun near the President, did not want any harm to come to President Bush.

You, however, who made comments on a message board, obviously would have been ok with harm done to President Obama.

Can't you see it?

At the time he was working for a firearm store and so he always carried his gun on him when he was out and about running errands on his lunch break.

yeah..I always keep a gun while I run errands....there is still no reason that you are making apparent as to why he was at a Bush (or anybody) speech with a firearm that makes what you said relevant to this discussion.

Ummm...if you see above, in one of my posts there are 2 different people who went armed to these rallies...however, the gent with the sidearm was interviewed...so...pound for pound, he got more coverage.

heh.

No crimes were committed, and no one was arrested.

So tell me again ... what's the NEWS here?

Legal behavior. Legal people. 1st Amendment. 2nd Amendment.

And, oh, by the way ... shall we define "assault weapon" or are we content simply to toss the term around.
