In our local paper this past week it said that half of Indiana's state legislature is licensed to carry guns and they occasionally carry them onto the legislative floor.

If I were these people I'd probably carry one with me as well. Most of them are just like snakes.

Jason,
did you notice that when Mr. C and I picked you up that I had one on?

No I didn't. Maybe that's why the banjo player stayed across the street.:rofl:

Yep, shoulder rig. And the Banjo player knew the consequences of getting too close.

He apparently must have seen you in action before therefore left us alone. Do you suppose he'll be there again next time we stroll through the boardwalk on main street there? :rofl:

I think he's applying for his CCW. The last that I had heard, and I haven't checked lately, the Sullivan act was either being repealed or had been repealed. I'm not sure that most celebrities should be allowed to carry firearms, most have body guards that do. I know that a few years back that Wesley Snipes got in trouble in Florida while filming Drop Zone for carrying concealed without a permit.

And now it turns out he has cancer!

Phil Elmore is a very knowledgeable and smart guy when it comes to self-defense, but guns is one area where I have to disagree with him.

To me, the whole idea that everyone should be able to carry guns--that it's a right or something--is a strictly American idiosyncracy. It's a cultural thing.

The most eloquent advocates of gun "rights" are, well, they're all bright people. They train rigorously. They carry in a safe manner. They have good management of their emotions. But if they were a little brighter, they'd realize that most people in the world are not bright. That's why rates of accidental shootings are so high. That's why compliance to the basics of firearm safety is so poor. If you are going to advocate for everyone who is mentally fit and has no criminal record to be able to pack heat, you have to accept a bunch of fatalities are inevitably going to come along with that.

Me, personally, I cannot accept that.

If concealed carry were legal here, would I? Maybe. If I felt that the area where I live and work is kind of unsafe. I know myself, I know what I can handle. Having a Glock or a Springfield Armouries XD strapped to my armpit is a responsibility I could deal with. Do I WANT it to be legal? Nope. I'm perfectly happy being an unarmed gun walking around predominantely unarmed people. Violent crime around here just isn't prevalent and terrifying enough for me to really want a gun on me.

I am quite sure that Phil and I wil never agree on this one, but oh well. That's
