I pour whiskey at time-locked saloon in a pretty damn redneck, open carry state. I regularly have to, no fucking joke, tell people to check their iron at the bar. Mostly because we have some gaming in there and you can't be armed in what's technically a casino. I got more fastidious about that after one of them shot his wife in there a couple weeks ago. Until recently it seemed like every other damn conversation had to come around to Obama taking their fucking guns away.
Yet even among the kind of folk who openly joke about lynching the president (or the saloonkeeper; I love confronting them about speaking in metaphor when I have their gun behind the bar,) a fair number of them are vocally and violently fucking pissed at the tea party republicans right now. I've had to break up fights over this shit. I take that as a pretty useful public opinion poll.
