I love the gun on hip thing here. We went into a McDonalds in Kingman and a guy comes in with a gun belt and gun. I asked him if there was a parade. Being from N. Ca only the gang members can carry guns.

Default Pepper spray at the hobo camp - I remember

There was a situation a couple years ago where the cops got a complaint on the hobo camp. They went there and sprayed some pepper spray around the illegal hobo town when the hobos were away panhandling somewhere. Many people in town went nuts and wanted the cops fired. I suggested in a letter to the editor that the complainers take a few unfortunate homeless meth users into their homes until they could get back on their feet. Alas, I don't think there were any takers. Most people thought the government should take care of the problem. I thought they DID take care of it when they sprayed the hobo repellant.
So you're bringing all your guns, eh? I hope you have had gun-safety training. We wouldn't want you to blow off your toes - or some innocent child's head.

As for the pepper spray. Yes, the cops came in and pepper-sprayed and urinated on our belongings while we were all in town working out of the local day-labor office. We, the homeless VETERANS and other unfortunate people without full-time jobs and homes. The children among us cried and wanted to know "why?" We didn't know what to tell them. It was a county area - one of the few near town where camping is allowed. So the illegality was on the part of the city police who went out of their jurisdiction to perform cruel and unusual punishment.

That's not the way I heard it from the cops. And yep, bringing all my guns. I wouldn't be alive today had I not been armed the one time I really needed to be. As far as safety with guns, it's prett simple. I keep the kids away and I don't pull the trigger unless I want the gun to fire. What ever happened to those cops? What did the internal investigation reveal?

I've seen that too-- a couple of years ago driving from Flagstaff back to Phoenix. We stopped at a gas station, and this guy just comes walking in with a gun hanging right outside his hip. It scared me at the time, but I guess this really is the wild west. A common theme I've noticed though-- these stories seem to take place in truck stops in rural Arizona. I've never seen anybody carry a gun out in the open in Phoenix.

Silverbear explains it best. Pretty much right on 100%.

In anything progressive? Name a few examples, please. To say *anything progressive* is very untrue. And. . for certain, Phoenix is not 20 years behind.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I love living in the warm sunshine, but unlike you, Kathy, not enough to stay in this very regressive state. I didn't think my disagreement with the political climate could outweigh my love for the actual climate, but I was wrong.
