By the way, for the history and constitutional buffs, I think that you will find that the country's founders and most colonials did not carry guns normally. I would think that concealed carry was very rare indeed.
Me thinks you have missed the pro gut point entirely.It is about PROPERLY TRAINED people carrying concealed weapons. I"m not endorsing "anyone" can carry, but I think that if you are a responsible member of society & have shown proficiency in firearms . . . .BTW, when I was in college, the ones prone to drinking wouldn't dare waste any $$ on something you couldn't drink & the ones with hormones raging wouldn't dare waste any $$ on something you couldn't ****.
you have a long way to go to convince me that their right to personal protection outweighs the inherent risks to the public
I would like to point out that I am the only one trying to keep this topic bus-related.
There is a moment after you fire the weapon and you watch the live target go down, kicking, screaming and bellowing.. You understand about death.
I did once however see a cop who, while warning a classroom of elementary school kids about gun safety, discharge his weapon by accident.
