Bill,
Many of us here have carry permits but I just don't like the idea that I feel I need to carry a gun to walk down the street. And at times I think we need protection from some of our cops as much as the dopers. And I am not knocking all cops as we do have some darn good ones here, but they are so limited by the dam insane laws we have that they can't do anything until after the crime has been committed. I have to go over to the range again soon and shoot some as I haven't done so for quite a while. Just to many meth labs around here and this area must supply the world with marijuana. And they even shoot at the DEA agents and law enforcement when they go to raid another of the big pot gardens.
