Interesting story, but it may be that Second Amendment Orthodoxy depends on where you come from. I wonder if the blogger of Confederate Yankee has spent much time living in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. That changes your perspective on the Second Amendment a bit. In the big city land of driveby killings, it’s not quite so simple as everyone having their own weapons to defend themselves. That’s fine in the country, but in the urban megalopolis we may have outgrown this. Think Blade Runner.
You are also more likely to fall victim to violent crime in one of those urban megalopolii than you are in the country. It is far more necessary for a woman living in D.C. to carry a firearm into town at night for her protection than for a woman living in rural Virginia to do the same at night. The reality is that the crime problems in major cities actually makes the need for law-abiding citizens to be able to be armed in public MORE necessary there than it is in rural towns.
