Concealed carry: now more than ever?

[chipcom]

Carry em if you got em, but I will never agree with or comply with this notion that I must have government permission to do so.

I'd like to see the arm up calls taken a step further. Pass laws allowing State/county/Local ranges to be opened to the public under controlled conditions with liability waivors, and volunteer leo or certified instructors donating time to give live fire classes free of charge just byoa. Considered part of the common/civil defense. Teach people both how to shoot at a basic lvl beyond simple CCW classes, and legal stressing this doesn't make you a cop cause you know there'd be "that guy." Wouldn't cost the gov a dime so long as there's protection against liability.

I'd like to see shooting clubs reappearing in the schools. We need to start training our kids...the people who wish to see us all disarmed sure are.

The problem with that is, should the right people become aware, you end up in jail, dead, or a fugitive from justice.

Been doing it for 40 years or more. If you are doing it right there is little risk of those ends...and if I ever do need to make it known that I am carrying, the old adage "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" applies. If we all stood on our principles, rather than trading them away for convenience or illusion of safety, maybe we wouldn't have all these insane gun laws in the first place.

Great idea.

Asked by the OP:
BTW, does anyone carry at work, even though your company forbids it?

Thanks for reading.

I carry at work every day, and I own the company. My employees have the option to be armed if they desire.
The same applies where my son works. It's not uncommon to see a holstered handgun on any desktop.

In this context, "convenience" means not committing felonies, though. I find it convenient not to be a felon, whether I am caught or not.
