One of the problems I have with large corporate gun stores... the employees typically don't carry. At least not openly. I've never seen any sign that the guys (and gals!) at my local Turners carry, and would be willing to bet there's a company policy against it. If I worked at a gun store, and a banger tried to buy ammo and crack or a stem fell out of his pocket, he'd be invited to leave, immediately, without his purchase. Or maybe placed under citizens arrest. Yeah, he and his little friends would be pissed, but when you got a store full of guys carrying 1911s and such, let 'em...
As for legalization... legalize pot. Nobody ever died from smoking a joint. Nothing ever happened to a pot smoker that doesn't happen to drinkers all the time. I know a lot of people who smoke, and they are all productive, responsible citizens. But crack, heroin, etc. needs to stay verboten. I've always thought it ought to be legal to the extent that you can stay locked up in a government facility and abuse until you die. You can have three squares and medical attention, but you can't leave without being straight for 60 days and have attended classes on how to stay clean, etc. Let's face it... users get all of this now when they're arrested. They can't support themselves, so the cost to society in the robberies and burglaries they do, as well as all of the ancillary crimes associated with their activities costs society an ungodly amount. Let them use to their hearts content where they can't hurt anyone else. Liberals would hate it because the little dearies aren't free to do whatever else they want, and conservatives would hate it because it's a government program and because people are getting high. But so what? It makes sense.

I'll second that.
A lot of people don't realize the STAGGERING amount of money we spend in the War on Some Drugs.
