Great now I'm flawed. The things I don't learn about myself here. Here's the problem I have no problem with people owning rifles and using them for sporting. I am for people having the right to do this. It's as much a sport to some as rodeo, hockey or basketball.
I think their should be conditions on owning handguns and I doubt I will ever support carrying them concealed. I agree with fingerprinting for all guns. Running background checks. Making training mandatory. It's called being a responsible owner.
The argument about the criminals goes with everything they do. They don't get guns legally, they don't shop legally, they don't do legal things period.
I think it's my right to know who's got a gun. Yep I know no criminal is going to tell me they have one. But if a legal gun carrier is so legal why does it bother them I know they have one? I don't care if you are a supposed normal person packing or a criminal neither one do I feel safe knowing they have a gun.
Guns in your home that's your business as much as the ones in my home are mine. Out and about around me yep sorry fellas I don't think concealed is ok. It's my opinion.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but what we do on message boards is discuss, debate and defend our opinions in an open forum.
My problem with your opinion is that most times more than not, people with your opinion will vote accordingly to support it. If you think I should not be able to have a conceal carry permit and a candidate on state or federal election thinks the same as you, you may very well vote for them and in doing so you play a part in removing my rights based on your opinion.
As for why people have the right to keep their carrying of a weapon concealed that has already been explained a day or so ago on this thread.
I do not know what state you live in or rather they have a conceal carry but rest assured that if you do live in a state with a conceal carry that you are safer because of it. Even if your opinion is against it, you reap the benefit of people that do not share your opinion.
