Yes and no. The fact that I know some people who carry guns scares the poop out of me because I know just how crazy some of them are. They WANT a bad guy situation to arise so they can show how "expert" they are with the weapon. Accidents waiting to happen.
A TRULY responsible, sensible, mature, well meaning person with a concealed gun would not bother as much.
I am very much behind any legislation that would ban semi automatic rifles because like many others I just don't see the need for them.
Just because YOU can't see the need for them DOESN'T mean there isn't one. Chew on that for a bit.
I'd say anyone who regularly carries a gun in public is either very fearful, or on a power trip.
You would be wrong. How many people do you personally know that have a CCW? Let me guess, none; so how could you have any sort of idea why someone chooses to ccw.
I don't see the need for one. And neither do most people. Believe it or not most people leave the house without a gun...
And some choose to protect themselves. No one is mandating everyone carry a gun, stop trying to restrict those who want to protect themselves and their family.

No, I'm not fearful, that's why I don't feel compelled to own or carry a gun. I don't have this paranoid fear of intruders in the middle of the night, and home invasions, or the delusional fantasy that I'm going to need to defend myself with a gun against a tyrannical government in this day and age---that so many of you gun-owners have.
Protecting yourself in your home is quite a different scenario from packing a hog leg everywhere you go.
Have you ever sat down and talked to a gun owner or better yet one that carries every day?
I know a number of them. Some (not all) of them carry hoping for a chance to use it and become a hero. They are quite insecure, and in some cases, pure cowards without their guns.
