A very Bad Law

[Lady's Human]

The first sentence SHOULD read "In a halfhearted victory for constitutional rights"

Because that's all it is.

I guess I should feel lucky that THIS idea for a law got press coverage,
but did NOT make it into law.

The criminals already carry guns in city parks.

THEY are the ones you should worry about!

I think disarming the public is a crazy idea.

Nobody has said why having a gun in their car assures them any
protection. Oh yeah, tell the the looney bird at work to wait to fire
his gun , while you race outside to arm yourself.

I found this article addressing the same topic. I agree with the President
of Indiana Chamber of Commerce on this.

It avoids the idiocy in several cases where employees have been fired for having a gun on company property when all they did was have a gun in their car in the parking lot when they were coming back from hunting.

Besides, why should the company give a damn?

The all or nothing idiocy is annoying. You KNOW who you need to be worried about, pay attention to them, leave the law abiding population alone and stop trying to make criminals out of them.

I think -- scratch that, I KNOW -- that if one of the other folks working in our building had a gun in the car during the situation I lived through, things would have been a LOT messier than they were. The police took 27 hours, but they talked the guy out, no shots fired. Got him to let his ex wife out after barely 3 hours.

Hear hear.

Uhhhhhhh....

"But these changes have done nothing to reduce gun-related deaths, according to Samara McPhedran, a University of Sydney academic and coauthor of a soon-to-be-published paper that reviews a selection of previous studies on the effects of the 1996 legislation. The conclusions of these studies were "all over the place," says McPhedran. But by pulling back and looking purely at the statistics, the answer "is there in black and white," she says. "The hypothesis that the removal of a large number of firearms owned by civilians [would lead to fewer gun-related deaths] is not borne out by the evidence."

Oh, I'm sure that happens all the time. First place anyone wants to go after a weekend hunting trip, is work. Geeze. Get real please.

You have no earthly idea what you're talking about.

During hunting season half the maintenance staff is late to work. Why? They hunt in the morning then go to work.

Welcome to rural life.

LOL

Just freaking LOL. You are amazingly naive for living in state full of 'country' folks.

And just like EVERY time the anti-gun types preach that a pro-gun law will result in a blood bath... Peace breaks out.


Often, I find myself armed in places where it is technically a "gun free zone". I wonder what the property owner would do should I have the opportunity to save their life someday, due to me having that firearm?

Say what you want... I don't care and never will. God has granted mankind the right, via proven natural law, to defend himself. No government, no law can rightfully prohibit this right. I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

I fully welcome any debate on this topic.
