I would bet the Venn diagram of libertarians and business owners has much more overlap than you are suggesting here. He lives in Texas, OF COURSE he has guns.

There's 2 problems here. 1) Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence. 2) Expecting every business persona to be completely beige and devoid of color is absofuckinglutely ridiculous IMHO (and yes, I'm staring at leftwingers here... I'm centrist/anti-tribalist, for the record, but it's been a struggle to say the least). Some of my most admired CEO's are quite colorful (Branson, Legere, etc.) It might even be arguable that the very people who are apt to strike out on their own instead of forcing themselves to conform to ("beige into", I'll dismissingly call it) an organization, are the same people who are least likely to force themselves to conform to social norms. Especially "developers of a certain age"... It may come as a shock, but being interested in computers was not always cool, and in order to doggedly pursue it, one needed to grow a thick skin against those enforcing the "computers are uncool therefore you are uncool" social norms of the time
