The "kings" are near firearms every day, if they live outside DC. They simply don't know when or where. Ceasing the criminalization of upstanding citizens won't alter that, except in OC situations.

Also, if there was a shot taken ... at whatever Official was present, the guy doing the OC would certainly be on a short list of addresses for bullets to be delivered.

Hm. Someone going about their business WITHOUT a gun in hand isn't quite the same thing as an active shooter. I would think that SS agents are intelligent enough to tell the difference. I mean, it's not like this would be in DC, where they haven't seen a good guy with a gun in nearly two generations.

I just gotta feelin' that it's a bad idea...

Having UPSTANDING citizens carrying and going about their business isn't going to threaten anyone, and that's about all whom the legal change would affect. They're not the shooters, the assassins, the bad guys.

And, quite simply, bad guys are already carrying weapons when they choose. Changing the mix to stop criminalizing upstanding citizens won't change that.

A1C Lickey · August 27th, 2009, 02:08 AM

Surprisingly we're still ahead. (64.8-35.2)

+1 here just because if You give some of these slickers an inch, they take a foot, but I believe the ones that have carried open thus far, have done so in poor judgment.
I would hope common sense would set in and those who would carry would do so concealed legally and responsibly.
We have free speech to but its against the law to campaign at a voting station...
The guy carrying the assault weapon was a bit overboard IMO...
It's that kind of judgment that can make Us all look nuts..

Question: Does any documented proof exist of upstanding citizens blowing sideways or spontaneously combusting the moment a VIP comes within three city blocks? Does the frequency of such attacks exceed 1/10000th of 1%? Bueller ... Bueller ... Bueller?
