The Gun People are in an uproar. The entire editorial page in today's paper...the outrage!

So if you are in SoCal....you need to be careful shopping in Toys R Us AND worry about some of the people legally carrying concealed weapons. And be careful sleeping in your crib. Or sitting on your front porch. Or driving on the highway. They're everywhere.
I'm not - in SoCal.

I have a husband who lives and dies by the 2nd Amendment. As I said, I have no problem with people having a gun. I do have problems with those who don't abide by the laws of their town, city, state, whatever.

In Michigan, you can get a CPL by taking a safety class, having a background and fingerprint check done by the Sheriff's Department. The CPL has to be renewed every 4 or 5 years.

My husband would like to move to Vermont. The gun laws there are almost nonexistent. In both Vermont and Alaska, one can carry concealed without a permit. I don't recall hearing of any horrible instances of gun violence occurring in either of those states.
