Yes-- Jesus Christ, have you *ever* been to a firearms self defense training course? Have you ever even read the table of contents of a curriculum? > I have no problem with well trained, reasonable, sane people carrying > firearms, however there must be laws in place to ensure that only well > trained, reasonable, sane people have access to and can carry firearms. OMG... Once again from the top: laws don't "ensure" *anything*; they only describe what is allowed and what the punishment is for not complying. Everyone say it with me: "Criminals don't follow laws... That's why we call them 'criminals.'" > I do think you're asking for trouble by carrying a gun in a holster on your > hip everywhere you go. Oh, really? Ever been to Kennesaw, Georgia? It's the safest well-populated city in the country, which started the year following the establishment of a law making it illegal to *not* own a handgun. Many people carry open holstered in Kennesaw, and lots more carry concealed. The police let you use their range and make free training available.
