ONCE AGAIN, let me explain why those who carry should carry as much as they can.

As civilians, we are expected to avoid the areas that we expect we would need to use a gun. There is a saying in the CHL world of "Now that you can carry a gun, don't go anyplace you wouldn't if you could not carry a gun.".

If we have to shoot, we expect to be in front of the grand jury, to need a psychologist, and to be sued. In the law suit, the opposing lawyer will try to show premeditation. That is, "So, Ms. Ounce, on the day you shot the son of my clients, you feared him. You strapped on your gun, something you don't do every day, so when you ran into him, you could shoot him." It may not have come down that way but it may be an interpretation the counsel gets the jury to accept.

So we carry as often as we can, so one day is like any other day. So we have no expectation that we would have to use our gun on that particular day. We carry as often as we can, to as many places as we can, and we have no expectation to use our gun today than we had yesterday nor tomorrow.

One day is like any other day. One place is like any other place.

What they NEED to do is to stop people from going in there dressed the way the do. (The people of Wal-Mart). Half dressed and all.

And of course, leave politics OUT of the store.

No open carry? Ok, not a problem with my concealed permit!!!

Who is the good guy with a gun? Who is the bad guy with a gun? These stores don't want their customers to panic running out their doors, like with that nut who just wanted to prove his 2nd Amendment rights in Walmart.

As another poster said, carry your guns concealed.

Yes I have a problem with any lobby that promotes a product that causes deaths, that includes the pharmacy lobby.

It goes both ways.


On one side, there are the times when the holder of the gun kills someone. On the other side, there are times when the holder of the gun prevents someone from being "killed" (be is a hard kill or a soft kill such as in rape).

^^^^^This. Don't take away the right of people to defend themselves with a gun, as the criminals will certainly have one.

A better way to prevent the killing is to remove the guns. A much better way.

I'm sure they have no clue that arms, feet, legs...etc more than any long rifle/shotgun combined.....


But anti-gunner hate facts and run of emotions, not reality.
