Many states are considering proposals to make it legel for law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon for any purpose except to commit a crime. In regards to such a law, would you say that you are:
A) Strongly in favor?
B) Tend to favor?
C) Tend to oppose?
D) Strongly oppose

Hey
I got one of those too... to bad the address labels weren't quite as quality as my ink stamp.
The problem with such a law is you never know who will actually take the time to carry a weapon all the time. Obviously people planning to commit a crime will have them, sort of like saying ''You can carry burglar tools (lock-picks, keys, etc) as long as you don't use them.'' But the argument for it can also be convincing... if everyone might have a gun on them, then a predator might think twice before attacking someone in that dark parking lot. What does everyone else think?

My problem
with this idea is that we're all law abiding people until we decide to break a law. If we were to pass a law of this nature the only thing we'd know for sure is that every future crook would be armed. I don't think the police or the victims are going to be excited about that........... JMHO

D
Too many hotheads out there to give everyone a gun. I wouldn't trust myself to carry one.
