Architect: I searched and far and wide and the only reference I could see was an African American man that showed up to a rally in Arizona (an open-carry state so I assume it was legal). So I am unsure where the 17 people showing up to a Colorado rally came from. Probably the nutroots which like many internet sites are not very reliable. If in fact true, regardless of being legal I would opine it is not wise.

As for your other comments/questions:

"What would the readers across the political spectrum of this forum have said if a liberal activist had showed up armed at a rally outside an event where Pres. Bush was speaking against abortion of for the Iraq war?"

I would say the same thing, even if legal its not wise.

"What will our reaction be if at a future event the pro and anti factions let catcall turn into shouting then shoving then a dozen people laying on the ground dead, dying or injure." So far the only shoving and violence has been by Obama thugs and goons from SEIU. An interesting hypothetical but more likely to be done by union thugs than law-abiding citizens.

"How many of you think it is wise, or patriotic, or smart, or provocative to carry a loaded weapon to a political event? How many would do so?"

I think if its legal it is legal, but not the wisest thing to do unless you are a handicapped black Republican who may be afraid of being beaten up by the Obama goon squad.

"People, is this really what we want America to be?"

I could ask the same question about whether we want socialism, should the President establish snitch email addresses, should the White House send out spam emails supporting their political positions, should the government take over car companies and hand a portion over to the unions and so on. I think you are focused on the wrong things to be concerned about.....
