I agree with you both. I'll admit that I was baiting Fuji Guy. Read this thread http://yosemitenews.info/forum/read.php?3,22983 please if you already haven't. Fuji Guy, in my opinion, is deserving of all the consideration, and deference he is willing to give others which seems to be none. I'm up to my eyeballs with the attitude of guys like him that think just because they can, they will, regardless of how uncomfortable they make people around them feel, no matter how much they would disrupt an otherwise tranquil setting. Imagine a few guys with that attitude at their campsite at the portal after a few beers with a loaded firearm on their hip. Wearing a loaded firearm in your own campsite is legal.

Now for me, I am in favor of removing most all gun controls, "shall issue concealed permits" wording, firearm ownership and training, people carrying concealed. What I'm radically opposed to is the argument that "I must be armed while in my campsite on the Yosemite Valley floor to protect myself from bears, rapists, muggers, pot farmers, criminals, etc. and I don't care if it bothers the other visitors that are camped around me because I am exercising my constitutional rights and nobody is going to stop me." Mr. Fuji Guy is one of these.
