I know this is an antidote and not proof, but it seems that more NEW gun owners are joining the ranks of long time gun owners, than at any time in recent history.
I carry everywhere and where I absolutely cannot {airports, buildings with metal detectors, etc.} I avoid if at all possible.
You have to go to the sheriff's office to renew your license to carry, and it is located at the court house, which is a gun free zone {for most free men, except special people, like police, deputy sheriffs, the mayor's body guards, the council people, celebrity body guards, you know...the important folks}.
Your spell checker needs an antidote :0) Thanks for the anecdote/anecdotal evidence.
It might even be an anecdote... Just sayin' :-)
