I've been armed long before they came out with cards that said I could be. I always just went off the Constitution. Here ya go Chas.

I have been around guns from a very young age. Hunting and target shooting along with varmint control on the farm. We were thought to respect guns and others. Having a Father who carried a .38 slug in the heart put there in a shooting accident when he was 13.

I believe anyone who eligible to own a gun should be able too! But not all guns should be legal. Assault rifles and extended mags to name a few.

A person should have to prove they are capable of using the firearm safely and pass a background along with a Psychological check. Then get a license to show that you are qualified.

I'm not one who believes that if everyone was armed we would have a polite society. The same analogy could be applied to Nuclear weapons and all the countries of the world. Would we really have a better world if everyone had the bomb? There are way to many crazy people, we do not want in that club!

The gun range I go to is public and shows it. People who don't care about safety or others show up all the time.

Good plan! Let's give every country in the middle east a A bomb. The world would be safer then, right?

I don't see anything here beyond common sense that I completely agree with.

Well, looks like I'm out. If I had ever owned a gun, the Commonwealth of Virginia would have ended up executing me years ago. In that regard, I'd say NOT owning a gun has probably saved my life......and others.

So, I still have hope?

Which is, of course, the problem.

So, disarming law abiding citizens is the solution?

The finest legal minds of our nation haven't quite figured that one out.

BTW, do you still possess a firearm after leaving you law enforcement career?
