Then you would pretty much have a Mad Max/Escape from NY scenario. The streets would be like Quake 3 maps.


I've heard this many times when "concealed carry" laws have been debated in this country, and it's been shown time and time again that in areas where people can carry guns on their person the crime rate has DROPPED.

An armed society is a polite society? Please explain that logic!


It's the same logic that says the mere presence of a gun means someone will pick it up and use it illegally!

I hardly belive being polite has anything to do with shooting people!


It's called a metaphor, Ric. It means that violent criminals (rich ones as well as "poor" ones) are less likely to attack someone who may be armed.
