Not in Massachusetts. John Kerry and Edward Kennedy are on record as believing that it is better for you to be murdered by a terrorist than be allowed to defend yourself with an evil firearm.
This guy has a book about the legality of carrying a concealed weapon. It's a must read for anyone who's thinking about getting a weapon for self defense.
Get your CCW and carry. The police can't be everywhere you are, but you are!
AYOOB is a well respected "gun writer" and I've read (and enjoyed) many of his peices.... that said, he's also a ego-maniac/fruitcake, and has had his share of problems with the legal community.
You've got your way out there lefties and your way out there righties, and he's for sure the later.
Thanks.

"...out of my cold dead hand." We ALL need to use a firearm, including women and children old enough to understand. Of course, safety first.
A BB pistol can be a good training weapon, since many of us don't have access to a back yard pistol range.
I have that exact same 38 under the pillow next to me at night. The surrounding neighborhoods are getting a little rough. In fact there is a gun in almost every room, not counting the 9mm in my purse.
My theory is, when you need one, you don't have time to go looking for one. I know how fast things can go bad. It's not that I am afraid to die, it's more that I want to get a little pay back before I go.
Not in Nebraska. A few very liberal senators in our Unicameral keep the issue from coming to a vote. Though Bush will beat Kerry by 30 points here, sometimes the state government seems awfully liberal when it comes to self-protection issues.
I can see right now that these terrorists have never confronted a squad of Redneck Special Forces.
I thought we were supposed to call the police and let the professionals take care of it.
