Carrying a firearm does not make America more dangerous but instead MUCH safer. What you have to do is understand the positive way of thinking, not the negative way. If everyone were armed, I truly believe crime would drop to an all time low. It's a matter of weather your educated in this matter or just shooting from the hip (so to speak). I have been a gun lover for over forty years and shoot as often as I can, but have never had to fire a gun at anything but a target. I will carry from this point on due to what I am seeing happening in this Country today. Take a trip to Miami.

Tell me about it. In addition to the draconian gun laws, you can't get a good steak for 10 miles. Such is the physics life: beggars can't be choosers.

My own state (Ohio) just passed a concealed carry law with a provision that solicits everyone who wants to post "no firearms" signs backed up with the force of law, AND the possiblity (still not legally resolved) that if you drive through a school zone with your trusty Roscoe and your CCW licence, you are STILL breaking the law. The result of this is that a law-abiding citizen can get a licence to carry a concealed firearm everywhere but the places anybody really needs to go. Is that a solution, or what? Between the gun crazies and their paranoia and the violence nannies and their hysteria, we keep making the gun issue an ever more complicated mess! Gosh I wish we could straighten this one out!
