Second, you have to consider that most, if not all, of these victims are likely to have lived in Saudi Arabia some time and have fully bought into the nonsense of the "Law of Hospitality" that is bandied about there. I know. I believed it once too.
Personally, I am grateful beyond measure for the Concealed Carry Liscence that my state (Texas) has. My personal laws of hospitality come in .45, .44 and 12 gauge. I am as firm a believer in the ownnership and skilled use of fire arms as were my anscestors in 1823 when they arrived in Texas in 1823.
The day will certainly come when the availability and skilled use of firearms will prove to be of immeasurable value to one with the presence of mind to use them (not to mention the detriment of the pig excrement one may encounter on the highways of todays world).Will they come here? Mr Kerry and company notwithstanding, they are here.
