Your opinionz aren't any less valid than mine, so who cares if you don't agree with me. As long as we all like video games. --------------------  |

QUOTE (impala454 @ Jun 24 2008, 01:44 AM) I kinda have come to the conclusion that this wouldn't bother me if it were for one thing. That is ego. People get into shouting matches much easier nowadays, road rage, check out lines, etc, etc. How many times will this happen: 1. guy B cuts in front of guy A in line 2. guy A gets pissed and they get into a shouting match 3. guy B moves his hand in the general direction of his gun 4. guy A sees this and puts his hand on his gun 5. guy B sees this and unsnaps his holster 6. guys C, D, E, and F see them both and unsnap their holsters 7. use your imagination for what happens next nothing. because you're too tuned into the spaghetti western style movies. i have heard alot about how there hasn't been any shootings western style in texas, and found this in 5 seconds of search:: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1552567/posts --------------------  QUOTE (Jessica @ May 7 2007, 01:15 PM) but yeehaw dammit.

that's referring to concealed carry, and it makes sense. it has absolutely nothing to do with the scenario I just gave.

I still think people should be able to get concealed carry licenses, and I still agree with you that if criminals want guns they're going to get them. I like the idea of open carry, but I honestly just think it would end up creating more problems than it's worth. |

Hey idiots, this already exists in 44 states. Allowing open carry isn't going to bring about the apocalypse or radically change the nature of gun-violence like you all think.
