Reply #61: Its not necessarily law abiding citizens who are going to be carrying! [View All]

Anybody who is convicted of a violent misdemeanor can apply and recieve a CCW permit after five years. So much for law abiding. And quite frankly, while there is a right to carry guns, there is no inherent right anywhere in the Constitution that you can carry it concealed(a chickenshit idea if I ever saw one, if you're going to carry a gun, do it out in the open, don't sneak around like a thief. Besides, the open carrying of a gun is more intimidating anyway, isn't that what you want?)

Besides, part of the uproar over this is that the 'Pug Congress subverted the clearly defined will of the people. Do you honestly think this is a good idea? Would you agree with travesty happening if it didn't involve guns? And gee, now with more people in this state carrying guns in their cars and purses and briefcases where they are easily stolen, more of these guns will wind up in my neighborhood shooting up the place. You want to pay my next repair bill when my car gets shot up? Or my funeral bill when I get shot up? All for your precious compensatory mechanism, Thanks, I feel so much safer now NOT!
