great article - very good idea - i think we can all learn from this one!
There is no fundamental difference between self defense and your skin color. You were born with the right to carry both with you to town, to carry both with you proudly wherever you go, and any man who is bothered by your display them is the one that may be faulted. Not you.TAB said:no need to fix it since that is not what we are talking about in this thread.
If only it was that easy...The next day, Thompson got a concealed-weapons permit.
They have aparently stopped printing the comments sent in. The number was at 71 last night, and there is no change today. Mahaps they were getting too many pro and not enough of what they wanted.

For those that say people who carry a gun for protection are just "paranoid" or "nuts" consider this:
-2004 National average violent crime per capita 4 per 1000 people (SOURCE - Bureau of Justice Statistics)
-2003-2005 National average of passenger vehicle insurance theft losses 2.6 per 1000 vehicles (SOURCE - Highway Loss Data Institute)
You are almost twice as likely to be victim of a violent crime, than you are to have your car stolen.
By your own logic, doesn't that make you paranoid and nuts to have theft insurance.
In rebuttal: Who the hell would want to walk around openly displaying an unloaded gun, though?
1) How many criminals would realize that?
