There's a big difference between carrying a gun secured in a holster while going about your daily business and brandishing a weapon as you're harassing people for signing a petition.

So stop with the BS.

And nothing in the story, or any of the links it contains, gives the slightest impression that the gun ever left the holster. One link even used the phrase "secured in a holster."

So why don't you stop with the BS.

Democrats, in fact, approve of Libertarian Party candidates because they'll siphon more Republican votes than Democratic votes.

Depends on the race and the candidate. Robert Sarvis actually got more potential Democratic votes than Republican votes.. Nearly two times as many actually.

Exit Polls Show Sarvis Had Broad Liberal Appeal

Lucas Overby, in the special election down in Florida early this year, also got a large number of Democratic votes. Having been a self-described "left-atarian, being relatively more sane on health care, his strong pro-gay stance, and being the only vocal supporter of legalizing medical marijuana...it's no surprise.

Did Libertarian Lucas Overby Throw Florida Special Election to Republican Jolly? - Hit & Run : Reason.com

He also seems to have a good amount of liberal appeal in the regular election happening right now. He's polling in the mid 30s and snagged most if not all the potential Democratic votes in the parties' absence.

The LP appeals to Democrats too. And, with the ever-increasing discontent about the Democratic Party's direction, that trend is likely to continue.

Oh, and the people you're talking about would be minarchists more than likely, so ranting about me is even further off the mark than you realize.

Getting on the ballot has nothing to do with voting. I know you can't control yourself and have to compulsively bring up irrelevant crap so I forgive you.

In Illinois? Not without great difficulty. Methinks you're talking about something you have no actual knowledge about.

We are talking about the libertarian party that represents to a large degree minarchists. Minarchists do in fact believe in police authority over all the citizenry.
