No, but that nonsense was one of the reasons we were delighted to move to the boonies ASASP-I can carry my pistol if I want to when I hike in the woods, walk down the road after dark, etc, and no one tries to tell me not to- even though there are only 6 families on this road, it is a pretty remote area.
