Reply #5: That seems fair. [View All]

jpak, I don't think you made any comment in the OP (it looks like it came entirely from the article), but it seems as though you're posting a "just to be fair" point of view that may disagree with your stated position.

If so, thanks.

To stay on topic, I agree with the article; someone bent on mayhem (or revenge, or robbery, or any other crime) doesn't care that gun aren't allowed in bars, or aren't allowed to be discharged in city limits, or aren't allowed to be used for crime. THOSE PEOPLE have no problem breaking the rules to get their immediate gratification... it's the rest of us who will follow the silly rules and be disarmed when one of them comes through the door, or confronts us in the parking lot.

Allowing law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun when they take the family out to eat is going to have a negligible affect on the number of whackos who decide to use a gun to commit a crime, but it could have a positive affect on the person or family that does not become victim to a crime because of a gun.
