Queue the "common sense" card. It is the same as, "No offense" which is followed by something far from it.

Meh.
I worry about being caught in a 3-way crossfire more than being accosted by a crook with a gun. Bullets coming from only one direction ain't good, but when the geezers start shooting, God knows who or what they'll hit. I just hope they're wearing glasses when the guns are pulled, and I hope I'm not around.

So you are not worried about the criminals with guns but are worried about the law abiding citizen trying to save you? Do you read your posts?

I was wondering the same thing

If the law doesn't prohibit people from openly carrying a gun in public then it's up to the people to adjust to the law.

I do get apprehensive when the guy carrying the gun is covered in Prison Tats or dressed like a gang banger.

Statistics have shown that it's usually the mousey little guy in the back of the room with the long coat.

You want to go to a gun show looking like Rambo--go ahead, but if you choose to play Ahnuld in a school or Starbucks, expect people to be appalled.
Maybe a deterrent to animals like Lanza.
