This is not NYC where we live. We are rural bumpkins with a differing set of standards from city slickers and gangsters.
BTW, where do you live? This may cause shade a light on the conversation. Just curious...
I live in Coral Gables (Miami), Fla, where CCW was passed in the 80's, to cries of "there will be blood in the streets" if it passes.
By the way, I'm against CCW, because I don't think a law-abiding American should need the permission of the Gov't to carry a weapon. The Govt can pretty much take away any license arbitrarily.
I am in agreement with the Alaska law on that, and in full agreement with the non-laws in Vermont regarding guns.
