I've asked American colleagues before how they feel about concealed carry and several admitted to having weapons with all the time for "protection". Equally they were amazed that we could happily live without a gun in our houses at all or even consider getting one. Different mind set entirely.

No need for concealed carry, open carry is a much better policy.

And No Carry is the best, if properly implemented. (But that boat has probably sailed now, sadly.)

Beware the American gun nutter.
Facts, statistics, even common sense mean nothing to these people.
Especially the one's who favor open carry.
These are the paranoid psycho's who are afraid to go to even the most common places without their gun for protection even though they have never had to use a gun for protection and the places they visit have never had a gun crime.

Maybe not even the gun nutter Bill

When Ombama visited the site of the latest mass shooting, where the pro and anti gun brigades were holding their various rallies, the tv crew interviewed one normal looking woman.

She said "How am i going to protect myself if they take guns away, i want as many guns and as much ammo as i can have" Although normal looking, she was obviously nuts.

Another news story i read yesterday, is that its perfectly ok to take a gun into a school in the US, but you'll get a caution for taking a dildo into school? Some kids were protesting about the craziness of this situation., which it is.

Maviczap, if you look at my original post and my comment about the last line in the link. Look at the last line and it says:

"As a parent I feel more comfortable with my children having a weapon on campus rather than a dildo," read another.

Simple case of level playing field. If one person is allowed to carry, all should carry. Otherwise you're giving away a huge advantage. Why do people have such a problem with this?

People doubt the ability of the government to enforce people not to carry. Probably a serious concern.

Gun free zones are pointless unless enforced.
