Ran across this while searching for something else, let's bump it up for old time sake (and the newbs). Wow there are a lot of old members no longer with us (or don't participate).
People should only be allowed to carry inside their own homes, inside a room with bullet-proof walls, that's locked from the outside. No magazines over 15 rounds at all. Then the rest of us will be safe.
I always thought that carrying in certain places like airplanes and sporting events don't really need to be scrutanitized or disected nearly as much, as one carries there as they are between places where they are more likely to need a firearm. Same with carrying while driving. The chances that drawing/firing while driving would ever be the best thing to do are insignificantly small, but transitioning when you are stopped each time is not reasonable.
Yes, I know that there are chumps out there who fantasize about brandashing in such places to look tough, but I think that is likely a pretty small minority.
People used to carry on aircraft prior to it being banned. We could and did carry weapons if we felt like it. It was a free country without issues.
Environments with explosive vapors, visiting rooms at prisons where visitors and convicts have direct contact, some courtrooms (divorce court comes to mind)... that's about all I can think of.
I can agree with this. When I used to go to sporting events, I can think of very few opportunities that I would have had a good safe shot if needed, but it doesn't mean I don't want to be armed from the stadium to my vehicle. Doesn't really matter now, as I don't attend sporting events.
While the chances of hitting unintended targets is great at sporting events...they are one of the places I most would desire my firearm. Incidents of people attacked (and sometimes killed) at sporting events has grown with the expansion of alcohol at said events. Attacks, robberies, murders have all gone up at professional sports arenas in the last number of years...and I suspect we are not being told the true numbers as the sports leagues are probably squashing a number of stories as it would dampen their ticket sales.
Guns are dangerous. No one should have them
