Sadly they moved the comments behind a login now.
My comments on this is that this reporter is part of the "Trigger" generation. She is scared of guns and allows this unfortunate misconception to color perception of everything that around her and dwell on the fear instead of what sounds like was a great play.
Sadly it is all about choice and hers to dwell on a fear instead of enjoying something she obviously likes, especially in light of the fact that man is clearly doing nothing illegal. She chose to be in fear, it is her problem not his and she is responsible for that choice not him.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. - Ronald Reagan

Too bad they moved the comments.  I left a good one too.  One of the points I made was that if she really was made afraid by a guy carrying a gun it is unlikely that she would have approached the guy and confronted him about it; normally people move away from things they see as a deadly threat instead of toward them (especially those like her who glorify cowardice).  It seems infinitely more likely that she is a liberal bigot and her intolerance for citizens bearing arms drove her to go over and harass the guy; concern for her safety was just an excuse.

If she really was made afraid by someone bearing arms in her presence she must be crippled with fear any time she drives a car, since anyone coming toward her can kill her easily just by moving his wrists a little and steering head-on into her car.  Even the world's biggest fool should be aware that driving is a greater danger even than anti-gun bigots falsely claim citizens bearing arms is.  The armed citizen was no danger to her, and in fact might have saved her life, but she did subject herself to a very real danger by driving to the concert. 

The level of idiocy expressed by her is very rare, even among the liars of liberal media.  The lies and stupidity in her piece were not rare, but usually the author does a better job of covering them up and so does not look quite so stupid.

Not surprising the comments were shut down as I'm sure they didn't expect the responses they received outside of their normal clientele.

I'm thinking it's a Facebook thing, because I can see the comments.

Didn't go very far for this one.

It's people like you who make it miserable for everyone else. You're simply not as important as you think you are. And here you are writing about it to make sure everyone knows how offended you are. Maybe everyone else is offended by your whining.

I will allow myself one personal observation. If you want to disarm yourself, that is your choice. The following quote is a favorite of mine and something to keep in mind when you make that choice.
