He’s not a rapper, but gun-rights advocate and middle-aged rocker Ted Nugent jawed it up with members of the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade Sunday outside the Neiman Marcus store in San Francisco. The Nuge was in town for a show with KISS and encountered the anti-fur crowd the afternoon before the show.
