So are they. Even if you're a good shot - which I have no doubt you are - you are putting yourself into a situation where they are MORE likely to shoot at you first or shoto back if you happen to miss. ALSO, you would be endangering any bystanders.

Because there have never ben accedantal shots fired in Texas, naturally.

If you get in an accedent, your seatbelt doesn't strangle and kill the person who hits you. Apples and oranges.

I also want to point out that nowhere in the Constitution does it say we have the right to lollipops, or CONCEALED weapons.

One thing that I have always said, and liberals have never been able to counter is this: Criminals don't care about the legality of owning/operating guns. They get them illegally, and use them illegally, they don't care. Do you think by taking away the constitutional right to bare arms that crime and guns will disappear? Or do you think you will have a disarmed population at the mercy of criminals who will still get illegal weapons from illegal sources?
I mean seriously, what sort of a delusional world do some people live in. It's actually upsetting to me because it is so stupid and confounding to any semblence of rational thought.

It's more a matter of monitoring the guns after they are produced by the factories. If we can better monitor how and where criminals come into posession of guns, then the necessity for law abiding citizens to own guns will drop (with the exception of things like hunting, where the gun is not intended to do harm to humans). What we are talking about here is the right to conceiled weapons in Wisconsin. dksuddeth seems sure that his family depends on him being able to conceal a weapon the next time he is in Wisconsin. We disagree. This is not a general pro gun/gun control/anti gun thread or conversation (despite efforts by some). This is specifically about the legality of concealed weapons in Wisconsin and it's effects.
