So yes, he's a nut and it was inappropriate in that forum, IMO. The debate wasn't about gun control, it was about health care. Absolutely no reason to have a gun there, the guy was simply flexing his muscle. He has a carry permit...GOOD FOR HIM! What use was it in that forum?
It is really ashame that he even has to obtain a "PERMIT" in order to exercise a right. We certainly are not expected to get a permit when we want to speak our mind(1A), refuse a warrantless search(4A), refuse to testify against ourselves(5A), etc. If you need PERMISSION it implies that it is a privilege and not a right.

Anyway, there is no reason that he SHOULDN'T have his weapon with him. I'm sure many people have said, "You are in a school, you don't need a gun here!," and of course liberals have been proven wrong over and over again because schools are ripe with mass killings. The liberals oppose teachers carrying guns for self protection, and they even opposed PILOTS carrying firearms for personal protection. It is a shame, more rights for the perpetrators than for the victims.

Have you ever heard the saying "If you don't use it you loose it." We need to exercise our rights every chance we get! We need to do this because of the current sad state of affairs in the United States. When was the last time you have been pulled over? If an Officer asks to search your vehicle and you refuse, he acts as if he is DEEPLY OFFENDED! It should NOT be this way. Americans have become so complacent in acquiescing to every whim of any person within the government establishment, that those civil SERVANTS have come to expect ordinary citizens to give up their rights at the behest of those servants.

We need to exercise our rights at every opportunity in order to remind those who WE pay to serve US that those rights still exist, and that we are not ready to give them up, and that we will never give them up. It is typical liberal rhetoric to respect every right except for the 2A, that right, in their mind was a typo in the writing of the Constitution.
