KBL at 80: no one in their right mind would want you to pass on by (and I would swear you had a read beard and a club foor so the police wouldn’t find you). I vote for every three strikes law; I support tough sentencing, esp for violent crimes. I know of Keck’s study that says 400,000 times a year a crime is prevented by just showing a gun. And a law that let someone like you carry versus everyone that rolled in with a new gun might be another matter.
But on the issue of people having concealed carry as a general matter: Suppose instead of you its an excitable man that shoots me instead? Maybe with fmj that exits the bad guy and gets me? Or a bystander? How about if you leave your gun in your car a some kids get it? Didn’t we move up from the old western town where everyone had guns? Isn’t it better to just ban the concealed carry entirely? Stricter sentences, longer terms and more room for violent felons instead of pot users and sellers: that’s my preferenec.
