I carry in FL. I would feel better walking into a restaurant or onto a plane where everyone was carrying, instead of just the 'bad guys'. It would be a site to behold if that happened and one guy gets up and yells "Allah is God!!!"

We need it in WI as well...

Had the Businessmen who were murdered while deer hunting been carrying handguns
some may have had a chance against their murderer...had three or four began firing back
the killer may have very well fled for his life...

Murdering unarmed people is a lot easier than people who can defend themselves...

as Jeffrey Snyder said in his book "Nation of Cowards"- "In truth, one who believes it wrong to arm himself against criminal violence shows contempt of God's gift of life (or, in modern parlance, does not properly value himself), does not live up to his responsibilities to his family and community, and proclaims himself mentally and morally deficient, because he does not trust himself to behave responsibly. In truth, a state that deprives its law-abiding citizens of the means to effectively defend themselves is not civilized but barbarous, becoming an accomplice of murderers, rapists, and thugs and revealing its tolitarian nature by its tacit admission that the disorganized, random havoc created by criminals is far less a threat than are men and women who believe themselves free and independent, and act accordingly."

The article only lists ways in which the new law is MORE restrictive than the old. If carry were already that legal, why was a new law needed, and why was this particular law, being so much more restrictive than the old, popular with gun owners? There must be SOME advantage to the new law.
