The issue is my car has safety protocols mandated by law in place. I can be reasonably confident that another driver cannot purposely hurt me while driving. And any attempt by another driver to do so endangers them equally.
You are right someone could harm my child without a gun but anything that person would use would be less lethal.
We don't live in the old west any longer.
Safety protocols? You are too funny.
All of my guns have multiple safeties.
And other drives can easily hurt you with hurting themselves. They don't even have to touch your vehicle with theirs to cause and accident where you will be injured.
By your argument then guns should be allowed in courthouses and airports.
I don't want you near my child with a gun because I don't know what your intent is nor do I know if you are proficient with the weapon in question. You could have terrible eyesight or lack depth perception. If you had a gun (or anyone other than a uniformed officer) in a school near my child I would be more afraid of what you would do than some unknown threat.
Allowed in MS. Courthouses but the judge can also make his courtroom when in session, gun free. Airport terminals but not past TSA. You have to check it following TSA guidelines if you want to travel with it.

That's right. Violent people aren't dealt with harshly anymore. They are "rehabilitated" and released back on the streets to perpetrate more evil. If they are caught again, the rehabilitation is tried again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
In the old west, if you did something wrong you were given a punishment that would deter you from future wrong doing. If the crime you committed was bad enough, you were executed swiftly.

Are you kidding me? The reason why violent crime rates have dropped so dramatically the last 40 years (the murder rate last year was the lowest in over 100 years) is because over the last 30 or so years we've throw violent criminals in jail at greater rates than ever and then thrown away the key. Our criminal justice system has basically abandoned the idea of rehabilitating violent offenders.
