The Case of The Cross-Dressing Conservative?

Is John Lott defender "Mary Rosh" really a Mrs. Doubt-Firearms? Is Mary packing, even when she's not packing? Is she concealing what she's carrying? Is Rosh a man, depending on your perception?

Julian Sanchez wants to know. Rosh responded to Julian's blog to defend Lott on the missing survey controversy, and Julian discovered that Rosh and Lott share the same IP address. Rosh is a stalwart Lott defender on many Usenet groups. (A comment to Sanchez's post says that fact isn't conclusive that the authors are the same, so don't Rosh to judgment.)
