I would like to meet those voting no, punch them in the nose, then ask the question again.
Not really, but saying that made me feeeeel better.

[driftdiver]

Is life legitimate?

[driftdiver]

Take a 2x4 (or a 1 3/4 x 3 1/2) across their back and shoulders and then ask them. Because the anti-gunners don’t believe you have a right to self defense. They believe the govt has a monopoly on power, well aside from the poor disadvantaged criminals too.

I think you misunderstood what voting ‘No’ meant. Thinking like a liberal helps here. (Ya, I know...) The ‘No’ voters were thinking in terms of you not them. IOW they meant its not legitimate for YOU to CCW for self defense. It would be OK for them though. After all theyre more important and critical to society than you. Its the same thing w/ gun ownership. Liberals love guns. Their problem is that you are allowed to own them too. You cant be trusted but theyre beyond reproach. Got it?

Do you think self-defense is good enough cause to be issued a concealed weapons permit?

Think the Constitution already has that covered........

[RC one]

is there another reason?

The idea that the state ‘permits’ one to self-defend using a weapon of choice outside the home is the larger issue.

[Gaffer]

Gee....why not ask Rosie O’Donnell, Barbara Streisand, and all the rest of the Hollywood and media libs what their bodyguards’ guns are for then?

[Tigercap]

87% (779)
NO 12% (108)
Total votes 887

[left that other site]

FReeped! ;-)

[longfellow]

Yeah to shoot the bastards that don’t use their turn signals.

[RC one]

well yeah, there’s that I suppose.

[rellimpank]

—now 88% yes-—(5:35 pst ,13 nov)

[onedoug]

The Constitution says nothing of permits and licenses for this, or any other of The Bill of Rights.

Eff the State.

[Political Junkie Too]

is there another reason?

In California?

Yeah, the liberal reason is for their bodyguards to protect them from you.

But you can't protect yourself from them.

I can’t think of one other reason for carrying than self defense. What is wrong with these people?
