I have way more knives and ***floating around than guns though.

Honestly, most people who want to be legally allowed to carry any weapon anywhere are the people who are already unlikely to have an event occur where they would need such a weapon. I do think gun laws should be a nationwide thing and not state specific.
Although I've lived my whole life in a middle class neighborhood where we have never had a violent crime like a murder or even a home invasion occur (AFAIK) and rarely lock our front door, that certainly effects my view on the topic.

yeah.
the city I live in now is tame as a kitten and I could leave my door unlocked all the time if I wanted to...but I'm already in the habit of locking everything all the time.

It's already legal. Very legal to open carry...
Just as a topical bump (to even my own page-1 post here on this subject) California now bans open-carry...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44843817/ns/us_news-life/
Quote:
The Brady Campaign, which sponsored the legislation, said California joins Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma and Texas as the only states to ban the open carry of handguns. It said 33 states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Louisiana and Colorado, do no prohibit open carry. Twelve states, including South Carolina, Tennessee, Minnesota and Massachusetts require permits for open carry.
being a rather large and intimidating person, i say no to guns at all because it lessens my chance of avoiding conflict when the drunk midget gets all Napoleonic complex on me at the club and smokes me with a ruger.

All even felons should be able to always carry arms.

I'm all for guns, I say arm everyone. I never get the arguments against guns anyways. The people who sit there and come up with reasons why ordinary citizens shouldn't be able to carry obviously haven't thought through their arguments very well.. They're usually about as strong as wet toilet paper.. Occasionally one will be about as strong as wet cardboard, but it's still pretty easy to tear right through.
I'm also probably one of the only Texans on this site or in the entire state that doesn't have a gun..

Why should standard citizens ever need guns, period? I for one would would hate to live in a country where I couldn't walk the streets at night, cos of drug runners packing heat, dudes jacking 7-11's, mentally unstable kids shooting up their schools, dude's picking up guns and off-ing themselves cos the reality of life gets too real. I'm over reading/watching all this *** up ***going down in america, they're too easily available and there's nothing good that comes from it, ban that ***.
I have several guns. I am a hunter, and I have handguns that I go to the range and shoot for sport, as well as for home protection. I have a permit that lets me carry concealed if I like. I see no problem with guns, just the idiots that sometimes use them.

Just think it like this, when the revolution starts everyone will be armed XD
Why would you need to carry guns anyways >_>
More people carrying and owning guns = more crazy people shooting randoms
Less guns = less crazy people with guns shooting randoms
Exactly, the idiots with guns will allways be the problem, so the best way is just to ban it, really.

Banning them won't make illegally owned guns go poof with it.

No, not really at all. How often do criminals obey the law.
Outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns.

Ill minded people will be the ones that always break the law. Giving your upstanding citizens the right, and the tools to fight back is what maintains order. Open carry is a huge crime deterrent.

I'm gonna be up front, with my finger on the trigger of my Mossberg pump.
Ofc everybody wont give up their guns, but it will help.
10% less kills\year maybe?
Decrease number of weapons --> Decrease number of shootings

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I assume most of the people here who are in favor of guns have lived or live in a household with guns. Where as, those opposed to guns, probably didn't. Just an assumption...
