Gun Control & RKBA

...something that as of yet has no specific definition.

You are careful to exclude yourself from certain elements of culture "stock car race or country music" but neither of these things are part of the 'gun culture.' They are working class entertainment, not shooting sports.

As a corollary, how do you know that at an "opera or an art gallery" there are no concealed carriers? These two pursuits are not necessary exclusive of the 'gun culture' mind you.

I like to hike, to run my model trains, and to work on my house. Am I part of the 'gun culture' based on these activities?

I don't think you could tell either way.

Do I own a firearm, like you do? Yes. Hunt? No. Carry for self defense? Yes, occasionally.

Do the interests of other gun owners/CCW licensees relate to my self interests? Yes, they do. If I travel out of state, the pro-gun landscape (reciprocity/non-resident licenses, etc) that has evolved since the 1990s benefits me. Heller and McDonald benefit me. Carry in National Parks benefits me.

I am not a redneck, if that is what you are implying. I am originally from a major, very anti-gun city as well.

That does not mean I am not part of the gun culture in America.

BTW the rest of your post is excellent.
