Actually, Bourdain has described himself as more of a libertarian than a liberal. I understand that it's difficult to tell a New York libertarian from a New York liberal, sometimes, but he says that his libertarianism allows him to feel safe around guns.

In one episode when he was in, I believe, Austria, he could afford to outfit himself in traditional hunting clothes,and buy or rent (I don't remember which) a rifle. What his budget couldn't afford was the $3,000 hunting permit. So he traipsed along with his guide aa the guide took him out into the wild.

His Israel episode was incredibly revealing to his character.
