I registered to respond to this. Carefully note that no assertion is made by Handgun Confiscation, Inc A/K/A Brady Center to Confiscate all Guns, that any of the people cited actually had a concealed carry permit.
And John Lott assures us that any discussion of the costs of some activity that excludes the benefits is a fraud, and this is a certifiable fraud because of that omission.
The benefits of concealed carry clearly outweigh the costs, the benefits of gun ownership clearly outweigh the costs.
And note well that since the 1995 federal gun ban in schools that one mass murder spree after another has taken place in our schools. When a perfect killing ground is created by law, it draws those to it with a murderous intent.
It is unlawful under Federal law, to take any weapons into a postal facility. These places of mass murder have created a new saying in the national lingo "going postal".
Anything coming from the mouth of a gun confiscation advocate is a deception, if not outright lie.
Welcome to FR.
You're right, even from a perspective of one (not me) willling to cede to government the ability to control non-criminal gun ownership. Factor in the "benefits" of Freedom, there's nothing to discuss.
Welcome to Free Republic.
I don't think so. The law states that you can't carry there unless doing so under "lawful purposes", or something to that effect.
So if you are carrying "legally" outside, then you should be okay inside also.
Hello Robert Taylor and welcome to FR! I think the first time I registered, after lurking for some time was to respond to a gun control thread too.
When we were in DC for the Second Amendment Sisters rally this past Mother's Day, the commie mommies were staying in the same hotel as we were. We got into some serious discussion with a couple of them on Saturday night before the rally and I asked one of them: "I've lived my entire life and never broken a single law, save a couple of traffic tickets. Tell me why I should not be allowed to carry a gun to protect myself." Her response was that I *should* be able to carry.
They don't even know what they believe. It depends on who they are talking to at the time and their nature is such that whatever they hear must be true.
