Many tend to be liberal in that they're liberal about a lot of things. ie Permissive. Not "Liberal" (note the case) as in people need to be protected from themselves and each other. I am liberal about most laws, ie they should be permissive. However, I'm Conservative when it comes to gun laws because Liberals believe people shouldn't be allowed to own firearms (not very liberal).

You'll find that there are lots of Geeks with guns. I'd say that More than 1/2 of the technical staff at CNN have or do own firearms. Some hunt.
