OK, Gunner. *Let it be clear from this point forward that I did not

I find that it appears to be a midwest concept that the gentleman was
acting irresponsibly and posturing.

Shall we ask the other readers if it was, or wasnt?

Yes, let's do that. That could be interesting.

Define "posturing".

Steve

One assumes that Don was claiming he was waving it about and trying to
look "bad assed"

Then one assumes incorrectly, I don't remember Don saying that. Do
you?

The man took an "assault" weapon to a Presidential event that he damn
well knew would be well attended by the press, the police and by the
Secret Service. If that's not big time, "Hey Look at me!" posturing,
I don't know what is.
