I’m mystified. There are no gun stores in Chicago, yet people are getting shot daily. I was sure the article was going to be about murder by knife and baseball bats.
Why are there not massive amounts of violence in Wyoming, where there are probably more guns than people? I’m confused.
In no-permits-needed Wyoming, of the people I run across in my daily business, about half are wearing iron, either openly or concealed. Whether open or covered depends a lot on the clothing worn for the daily weather and whether the particular weapon carried requires more protection from the elements or less.
Anyone, armed or not, figuring on causing trouble in the Cowboy State is usually going to be seriously outnumbered. And with our population being what it is, we tend to watch out for and take care of our neighbors, even if they're strangers when we first meet.
That's why.
