This guy is a fool. You can bet that the gun-grabbers are waiting with bated breath for some idiot to pull a gun out and start shooting so they can start screaming about gun control again.
I wouldn't doubt for a minute that they are even looking for some Dim mental cases to send to the meetings to stir up trouble in the hope he will get shot. Preferably a black or brown union member or members that attack protesters.
Yes,you DO have a right to carry a gun at a political rally. That doesn't mean it is an appropriate place to carry one because of the implied intimidation factor,just like the union goons with nightsticks. They don't have to actually beat on somebody with the nightsticks in order to suppress political speech or actions.
I carry a gun everywhere I go,but I wouldn't carry one to a political rally.
I'm of the same mind...after a fashion. If everybody is showing up and just talking/yelling, yeah, keep the heater at home. If union thugs show up with axe handles and big leers (and applied beatings to old men/women), then pack. But only after they initiate the intimidation tactics.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, Your comment seems to suggest that the old saying is true.
Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
Well, my thoughts run along this line. Town halls, in the way most of us "protesters" are approaching them, are local events. We all generally live in the area. The imported union thugs, on the other hand, don't. So they'll show up ahead of time and get off the buses and get their axe handles out (or we'll see 400 pound guys disembarking, with black leather boots on). We'll see, go home and get heat, return with little real effort.

Ahhhh, my friend this is where it gets fuzzy. According to janet napalitano and most of the leos in this country. Once you leave and return it is not considered self defense. Catch 22 anyone.
Either way, if I attend one of these and are confronted by what you've described; I will defend myself and others whether armed or not.
These people aren't carry guns for protection but as a vague threat. What they are doing is legal, but politically and ethically its disgusting.
And as soon as one nutjob gets to much in a frenzy and does something stupid, it will to unimaginable harm to gun rights in this country, especially concealed carry rights.
This will just let the media smear gun owners as hicks, and extremists. So when the next conservative terrorist pops up we all get lumped in.

Perhaps. As I see it he was outside. Nowhere near the pres. I could absolutely agree with him being disarmed had he wished to enter the event.
He should willingly turn it over upon entrance and they should willingly return it when he leaves.
I was taught this is a Free Country! You don't use force on people unless they try to force you to do something you do not wish to, then you strike with all you have.
The only thing keeping the second alive is the people who exercise it. They have killed and bastardized the Constitution in every way possible and intend on doing so to the second no matter what happens. Will you give them yours?
So just what do you think the Founders gave us the second for? Hunting? Target practice? It's ok for a goon to search me for a traffic stop, attempting to find anything to make me a criminal because, if I'm not guilty of anything I should not worry, correct? Well if the politicians were doing what they should be instead of what they do they should not worry, Correct?
I'll stick to my statement it is better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. And besides I'd rather see open carry and know who is carrying instead of guessing.

I'd like to see that as well, nation wide. Concealed carry doesn't bother me either, though the whole licensing thing that goes along with it in most states does.
