The best situation is where the Government butts out--in Alaska and Vermont no "permit" is required to own/carry a handgun. Why? 'Cause criminals don't care and will carry anyway!!

With the Demo liberals now in control of the US House things could get shitty at any time.

California/Massachucetts et al are "collectavist slave" states where the Nanny state detrmines what is socialisticly best for allowed for individual armament to protect the masses.No individual gun rights exist in those states.The California murder solve rate is 33%, one of the worst in the country.

I have no problems with other moral men carrying firearms. I assume everyone is armed after dark.When we had a rash of robberies of sit down restaurants 3 years ago one night I counted eight(8) armed folk by the sloppy way they concealed their handguns(right hip tugging)!!

Should we all hang together?? Absolutely!!

I would hope no one has any bias against individuals defending themselves with ANY weapon!!Governments role should be firearm safety, not firearm control!!
