Conservatives buck 'nanny' laws with blowout

The Washington Times reports:

Colorado conservatives gathered yesterday to smoke cigars, drink adult beverages and wield firearms, all in the name of the Constitution.
The Independence Institute's fourth annual Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms gathering lived up to its billing as the "most politically incorrect party of the year" as revelers engaged in a series of highly regulated activities without permission or apology.
A gathering of Republicans may not be the obvious choice for a bacchanalian romp, but Jon Caldara, president of the free-market think tank, defended the event. He insisted there was nothing immoral about it.

Some people don't like the Nanny State.
