I guess, to be plainer, that "working class culture" is something that I have worked hard to distance myself from. The rest of the post is the 'why', or perhaps more of an explication of what I find about it that makes me uncomfortable: I HATE sports (competition of any sort except against myself), religion (in any form, format or degree), most of what passes for 'patriotism' (flags, parades, any sort of foreign involvement) and really wish that America was a lot more like Europe in a lot of ways. I certainly HOPE that there were concealed carriers at a given opera or art gallery, as I tried to say, the post was about what parts of 'gun culture' do you dislike; I think we are both kind of trying to define *that* first, it could mean one thing to you and another to me.
Interestingly, I've had *ZERO* flak for either an Obama or Bernie sticker at any shooting range.

Thanks for your kind comments, it's a difficult subject.

I agree that Heller and McDonald benefit me, I would like to see a national 'Shall Issue' law, with ONLY very specific subsets denied the right to possess pretty much damn near anything. I've been involved in left leaning activism since working for McGovern, so I feel no need to give a shit about what any anti RKBA person thinks about my position on firearms.
