Damn, I missed the Godwin's Law part of the thread.
Either way, it's a pointless argument. There are many guns laws in the States here that let you carry. Hell, if you're registered in CO you can carry a loaded weapon as long as it's visible. You don't have to take classes to get a concealed weapons permit, but it's a good idea. My father just did.
Let it be said, I was not raised around them and guns scare the shinguard out of me. I've see too many Final Destination movies, but even after I've checked a gun 15 times and know it's not loaded in any way, if the barrel even grazes me I freak.
But guns are a way of life here. I have several close friends who all have concealed licenses due to their jobs and it's not an issue. We've gone out, gotten schnockered and no one is pulling heat. I don't buy that argument.
