[hackerspaces] Firearms in Hackerspaces?

[Tim Krabec]

Showing people your gun may not be hacking, but if you've done some
gunsmithing or possibly made attachment or holster or some Rails, or
something else that is hacking.

would it be more likely in your opinion, that a person would go crazy and
shoot everyone in the space, or that some one would actively try to rob the
hackerspace?
