Proof? I've never seen anything remotely resembling this kind of survey - meaning I don't know how you (or any pollster) can accurately collect that sort of qualitative data. Where are you getting your information or are you pulling this out of your ass? Apologies will be issued upon receipt of independent, verifiable data.

I don't follow your arguement. If society should be armed, which seems to be what your advocating, then why shouldn't everybody carry their weapon in the open? Personally, I'd prefer to know if someone was armed rather than having to guess. I also think that as a business owner, I have the right to not allow people who are armed into my place of business. Check your gun at the door if you need to, but don't bring it in here. It's the same as a lit cigarette or pornography. If I don't want them in here, I can ban them.
