Oh, I think most everyone should have a gun. An armed population is a polite population. I just take a 'sanity check' when people insist that it is wise to carry a live round in the chamber at all times. Why is it illegal (and stupid) to drive around hunting with a loaded weapon, but the preferred SOP with a pistol? Shotguns and rifles must either have the breach open (showing an empty gun) or the action/bolt open during transport. But, apparently pistols should be carried with a live round. That's where I draw the line. It takes just a few moments to change a pistol from a 'club' to a lethal weapon. Clubs aren't known to go off accidentally.
