feels like an HOA...people who have never had any real power in their lives (but feel they really should), so they go completely overboard and impose ridiculously arbitrary impositions when given any small amount of oversight btw, if there is a Rust conference in certain states and you don't have the proper legal signage posted wrt firearms (and I mean the hosting facility, not the conference itself), people will carry and you can't stop them

  > Sounds almost like a threat of violence, so I'm not sure you want to leave this up here... please control yourself all I am saying is that the decision to permit carrying of weapons has state-by-state guidelines and you simply can't override these by virtue of renting a room the relevance was the insistence of the Rust Foundation wrongly believing it had the power to impose in this realm of law

  > How is this relevant to the discussion about Rust trademarks though? The request for comment had some specific verbiage about not promoting gun violence or something to that effect. OP was probably pointing out that you may have people carrying at a Rust conference (for unrelated reasons) which would be a breach.

  It's useful info. I didn't realise people can carry firearms around tech conferences. Presumably so they can shoot at people if circumstances warrant it. That's worth taking into consideration when deciding whether to go to one.

    > I didn't realise people can carry firearms around tech conferences I would say that if you are truly averse to being in the presence of armed citizens (not judging, that is perfectly acceptable), then you should stay away from entire states, because these rules apply to almost all public spaces (notable exceptions: bars, schools, and others)

      Honestly that's a pretty good heuristic for not getting shot

        every US state has some mechanism to obtain a concealed carry permit or is permitless carry, so really if you feel strongly about this, exclude the entire US

        I hate to break it to you (or others on HN) but a lot of Europeans do avoid the entire US these days for exactly this reason.

        Not really. Chicago bans guns and people die from them regularly there. It’s almost like criminals don’t obey laws, how shocking is that? If you don’t want to risk getting shot/stabbed/murdered, your only real solution is to become a hermit. It doesn’t matter where you live either, you have just about equal chances on average of being the recipient of random violence.
