Maryland technically has concealed carry but it's a far, far cry from the more modern "shall issue" statutes.

trigger-happy lunch break vigilantes

From now on, I'm a trigger-happy lunch break vigilante. I'll be hanging out at the local McDonalds if anybody needs me.

Facts are to a liberal what salt is to a garden snail - death.

It would be interesting to pursue these statistics: In states where concealed carry is permitted are criminals not only fearful of the possibility of their victims being armed, but do criminals then migrate to states where citizens are not permitted to arm themselves?

If crime statistics in Washington DC, Boston, and NYC are any indication, then it is proof positive that an unarmed populace attracts criminals. Now, since their ban on hand guns, watch the criminals flock to San Francisco.

Facts and reason are worthless with arguing with a liberal.

Inexperienced gun owners tend to be very hesitant to use, or even carry, their guns, so I seriously doubt they contribute significantly to unwarranted gun injuries and deaths. When I'm working on talking sense into a non-gun owner or an owner who doesn't carry due to feeling they don't have enough skill to handle a gun safely in a tense situation, I always point out that they can benefit tremendously just by carrying an unloaded gun, since at least 2/3rds of successful defensive uses of a gun don't involve firing. Then try to find more time and opportunity to practice, and start carrying loaded when after they've built up their skill and confidence level.

Last week, I had a minor customer service problem at my local Home Depot. (an interdepartmental turf battle that I got in the middle of) It resulted in some terse conversation on both their part and mine although it ended with a smile from both of us.
Amazingly, even though I had the means, I never once considered reaching behind my back.

Hmmmmm, could it be that like virtually every CCW holder, I am a responsible gun owner?

I dont do lunch at McDonalds...Culvers maybe...
I prefer doing breakfast at C's in Middleton...

I'll be packin' an English muffin with Xtra Hollandaise sauce.

..anxious and trigger-happy lunch break vigilantes with a hand in their pocket, flipping on and off the safety of their guns while wishfully scanning fellow McDonald's patrons for even the slightest signs of aggression to justify their "intervention."

Durn, none of my revolvers have safeties to flip on and off.
