I must hang around too many libertarians, most of the pro-gun people I know are also very much pro-choice and will even discuss total open border policies at times.

Oh yeah, there are plenty of exceptions. Libertarians being a large one. That's why I had to switch from "certainty" to "large probability" to "above-chance" when I was editing.

  Are they exceptions, or do they just fall into the Libertarian category of prepackaged opinions?

    Can't speak for everyone, but I am definitely more pragmatic than many hardline Libertarians... I'm okay with some government institutions remaining, as long as the direction is towards freedom from where we are instead of away. I'm okay with DoE, but would like to see more economically sound spending even if that means creating open options to compete with the incumbent publishers. That's definitely not a typically libertarian pov, but it's pragmatic in terms of lowering spending reducing complexity and something that might work and gain broad enough support.

Are libertarians usually for open borders? I hadn't heard this perspective.

  It's a mixed bag, just like abortion. FWIW, I believe the official platform of the Libertarian Party includes open borders.
