What do you think? Do you think people should be allowed to carry guns in public?

355k votes 92%

[rktman]

92% favorable. 355k votes. Never see the light of day so they might as well take it down.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

Yes.

[umgud]

Criminals been doing it for many years.

[AppyPappy]

So have government agents

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

Is the Pope Communist?

[Secret Agent Man]

Do you think the liberal media uses polls to create news stories it would like to have an excuse to run?

yes no

[driftdiver]

Who does a liberal call when they need help?

A man with a gun.

[rktman]

Now that’s a trick question. I’m thinkin’ crucifix on a hammer and sickle recently.

[Still Thinking]

Doesn’t matter what I (or anyone else) thinks, the Constitution says they can.

[McBuff]

I’m even against the question: “Should people be ALLOWED. . .?”. . .There is no authority amongst the powers of the earth TO allow. ..it is our endowed right. .secured by the Constitution. .CASE CLOSED. (and I’ve never even owned a gun. .)

[HarleyLady27]

It all depends on WHO has the gun....I used to carry one, legally, and knew that IF I drew my guy, I was going to use it....some people may not have that control...

[Fester Chugabrew]

I reckon its better that people carry as opposed to some other critter.

[The Iceman Cometh]

The person who taught my CCW class was against open carry as the weapon could be a target for someone who could attempt to disarm you.

Makes sense to me. Concealed carry, best way to go.

[Sopater]

Can’t they just leave the responses at “Yes” or “No”? Do they always have to add things such as “the Constitution guarantees it” as if that mattered?

The answer would be “YES” whether the Constitution guaranteed it or not.

[PATRIOT1876]

“Do you think people should be allowed to carry guns in public?”

This is an old poll.

It was asked by the Founding Fathers back in the late 1700’s.

Nearly 100% answered “Of Course!” and gave ye pollster and odd look and asked what he was smoking...

[Sopater]

Doesn’t matter what I (or anyone else) thinks, the Constitution says they can.

Doesn't matter what the Constitution says either, our Creator has endowed us with the natural right.

[Sacajaweau]

I did when I was a kid - my famous Roy Rogers six shooters.

[Noumenon]

Agreed. I like surprises.

[RitaOK]

Not necessarily. For example, showing your hand in a box canyon can have its consequences, as Custer experienced.

I would much prefer to keep them wondering. It also beats being the first target, able then to save no one.
