The only beneficiaries of a disarmed populace are the predators.

Throwing lambs to the lions is not evidence of higher morality.

My point is this ... this all happens everyday, without incident. We are bound by law to keep it concealed and never pull it out unless an aggravated felony is occuring to us, or those around us.
We have chosen to make personal safety our responsibility.

When I walk in the woods I am often just feet froma poisonous pit viper. Most of the time I don't know it and no harm is done to either of us. When I discover a pit viper, I kill it. The world is a better place without dangerous creatures without much sense.

I know people who don't carry and are really nice people. I also know people who don't carry and would pick up a bat and beat the crap out of you...

Don't let fact's get in the way...blunt object (feet, fists, and such) kill more people than rifles and shotguns combined.....

I was there because I was having an asthma attack, not for a broken bone or bruises!
Or the pediatricians who ask if my kids feel safe at home in front of me. Unless my children are presented with bruising or showing signs of abuse I don't see the point. I wonder how many children have answered "no".

My children are instructed if ever asked by a doctor about firearms to just say, "you have to ask my parents". Children should not be used and I don't see the reasoning for it since it's not illegal so the only other reason is for it to be on "record". I can't imagine doctors want to be in the business of lecturing gun safety.

If Baltimore , MD had better pro gun CCW Laws much of the looting and destruction of private and public property would not had happen. Shop keepers with a shotgun would of perhaps keep the looter at the door.

There is a lot can be said when the police do not have to protect every quarter of the city. In Arizona , many of the acts of violence would of been consider a " Good Shoot".

So you folks who would like look at your IPOD and go to Starbucks lead your lives like sheep. Waiting for some criminal to take Life and property from you.
