Do you distrust someone legally carrying a firearm as much as someone illegally carrying a firearm? If you do not know someone is carrying legally or illegally does that make you distrust everybody while you are out in public?

If you want to have a gun in your home because of your fears of a home invasion....fine...as long as you make sure it is never stolen and used to shoot someone else who is not invading your home.

And you don't shoot someone who isn't really invading your home but just ringing the doorbell.

That your gun is not used for any purpose other than protecting your life and the life of your family.
You really dont seem to trust any gun owners.

But I emphatically do not agree I should be subjected to hidden guns in the grocery, the toy store, the gas station or the restaurant. Or anyplace else.
If a person is carrying legally you have no say in the matter do you? Why should you subjugate legal gun owners to make yourself more comfortable?

Didn't the hidden gun of some athlete go off in his pants in a nightclub this weekend?

The hammer of justice is cold comfort if you are dead.
Not a clue as far as the athlete goes.

The Hammer of Justice would be very much hot, if it fell against someone who harmed somebody I love.
