    once upon a time I would have jokingly quipped that the sooner EVERYONE in the states is armed the better .

    sadly it is not so much of a joke any more .

    There would be the added benefit that a criminal would be less inclined to commit an armed robbery in the presence of an armed patron.
    I agree

    They will get all hot n bothered because the topic is about letting people aimlessly wander the streets carrying guns.

    When a crime is happening, the chances of innocent people getting hurt will escalate when 'ole Rambo John J (in his mind)
    Starts shooting from the hip.

    I don't know about your ideas on it as I do not pay much attention to your posts., but it does seem that most real liberals and forward thinkers do want the constitution to cover all criminals, even the illegal alien murderers and the terrorists held in jail at Gitmo.

    If the public of a country need to carry side arms, the public of that country need to have a good look at themselves!

    Keep in mind lads that I am not a right wing dipshit. I support Obama and all he stands for. I am sure its hard to understand why I still may back the second amendment but I do. Maybe this quote will help;

    "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
    Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"

    In the U.S.A. there is a definite need. If the guns are taken away from the law-abiding citizens only the criminals will have guns.

    Found an article that supports this thought:

    http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/03/01/john-lott-supreme-court-guns-chicago-ban/


    The failures of gun bans in the U.S. are frequently blamed on lax gun restrictions in other states. But the experiences of other countries, even in island nations that have banned handguns and in countries where borders are easy to monitor, do not support this claim. For when handgun bans were enacted in Ireland and Jamaica, in 1972 and 1974, respectively, murder rates doubled over the following decade. And take the more recent example in England and Wales, where handguns were banned in 1997: deaths and injuries from gun crime more than doubled over the next seven years.

    also:

    Washington’s Mayor Adrian Fenty warned: "More handguns in the District of Columbia will only lead to more handgun violence

    But Armageddon never arrived. Quite the contrary, murders in Washington plummeted by an astounding 25 percent in 2009, dropping from 186 murders in 2008 to 140. That translates to a murder rate that is now down to 23.5 per 100,000 people, Washinton’s lowest since 1967.

    Take away law-abiding citizens right to bear arms and that brings about an open hunting season for the criminals.
    Life is a state of mind.

    Everyone there damn near carried a pistol and owned rifles and shot guns and everything was cool, then they made it a gun free country and every son of a bitch started to kill someone else and now for a empty 22 rimfire case laying under your floor mat will get your car confiscated and you ass in prison,, and look what it has done to the country.
    Officials wanted to up the drug trade with a gunless population and those that have guns are bad guys that use them..

    What a fatuous argument . . . one that is dis-proven all the time but still gets rolled out periodically

    Excellent, Jonesy. You found an article to base the whole gun issue on . . . well done. From FOX no less . . .

    Reagan again? Do you people never tire of using his name to advance everything that was good and holy, irrespective of how inaccurate it is?

    Care to check how much Reagan's small government grew?

    In 1980, Jimmy Caner's last year as president, the federal government spent a whopping 27.9% of "national income"
    So how did the Reagan administration do? At the end of the first quarter of 1988, federal spending accounted for 28.7% of "national income."

    Even Ford and Carter did a better job at cutting government. Their combined presidential terms account for an increase of 1.4%—compared with Reagan's 3%—in the government's take of "national income." And in nominal terms, there has been a 60% increase in government spending, thanks mainly to Reagan's requested budgets, which were only marginally smaller than the spending Congress voted.

    the size of the bureaucracy has also grown. Today, there are 230,000 more civilian government workers than in 1980, bringing the total to almost three million. Reagan even promoted the creation of a new federal Department of Veterans' Affairs to join the Departments of Education and Energy, which his administration was supposed to eliminate.
    The Free Market: The Sad Legacy of Ronald Reagan . . . among many other sources cited on TD countless times

    . . . etc etc etc etc


    Anyway, the thread is about guns despite BM and Jet's attempts, as usual, at derailing it by trashing Slackula.

    One question: Does the Open Carry Gun Law prohibit concealing it?

    Oh, here are some other countries where guns are carried around in the open:





    Notice the similarity between the US and adventure holiday destinations like Somalia, Liberia etc.... with the difference that the US government executes more people than either of these two randomly selected places.


    Being facetious, of course, but if he economy continues to slide, more people lose their jobs, no social structure to ease the pain . . .

    To tell the truth, I did not know of any state that did not permit carring a gun as long as it was not concealed,, even Portland and Multanoma county does not recognise a concealed carry permit, but open carry was OK, but not with a round up the pipe.

    Here is the last 4 holdouts to the open carry laws.

    4 states, among last holdouts, eye open-carry gun laws - USATODAY.com

    That is because of the similarity's of the country's, all have niggers running things, and in most, murder is not again the law and laws are not enforced and some even have no acting government.
    and the USA with an over active govt. being the only difference.
