the icing on the cake
Local news this morning was talking about how concealed carry will likely be a reality in the Badger state, with legislation EARLY NEXT YEAR (as in less than 3 weeks from today).

The very next story was about the shooting at a School Board meeting in Florida (a concealed carry state) the story after that was about a young mother killed in crossfire @ a California strip mall, shot in the stomach as she was putting her child in the car seat.

It seems like about 30% of our population are pretty crazy and they've elected the people who will be running things for a while.

We get the government we deserve.

STILL bummed out this morning...

1. In a civil society guns serve little purpose; however, as we
are governed more and more by illiterate folks, we seem to get hicks with sticks mentality. I guess the sheriff will have to tell those to leave their guns at the door during church services. I can't even imagine what the drinking scene is going to look like after these folks load up their guns for a fun night out.....

2. Concealed carry is the only handgun law that actually works fighting crime.
Joe Mugger is going to think twice about knocking down Granny and robbing her if she might have a .357 in her bra. :-)

And the hysteria about "crazies with guns" doesn't make any difference if there is concealed carry or not.

Crazies will carry guns.

3. At what blood alcohol content...
..do you arrest a person for packing a gun while drunk?

In a state of heavy drinkers, I think I will pass on ever going home again.

4. In states that have CC, how many drunken incidents are there?
According to law enforcement, pretty much the same.

I'm not the "gun nut" stereotype, but I've actually gone hunting, and traget practice shooting.
And I had fun doing it.

This "crazies, drunks and bad guys prove that nobody should have a gun" is pure horse puckey.
