Fish in a barrel, I know, but I'm compelled:
- The Arkansas House just voted to allow guns in churches--despite strong opposition from pastors.
- On January 9th, it became legal to carry loaded weapons into national parks after a more than 20 year ban.
- A bill to allow the open carrying of handguns has been sponsored in South Carolina--one of only 6 states remaining that do not currently allow open carry in some form.
- Utah allows college students to keep guns in their dorms and carry concealed weapons on campus.
- An Illinois panel has recommended that Illinois residents be allowed to carry guns in public--one of only two states remaining that bar the practice.
- A panel in Tennessee has recommended four bills for legislative approval including allowing concealed weapons in playgrounds and bars.
You say bars, I say (as the law says) places that serve alcohol, including Applebees, etc. Any bar owner can (like the pastors in Arkansas) ban weapons from their establishment.
I know it goes against everything you believe in, but what's happening here is freedom of choice. Deal with it.
Thanks to Joe Huffman for the pointer. He handles the "Abnormal behavior", I took the other stuff. =)

As I consistently ask the anti's
If legal carrying of arms is such a pressing problem (blood in the streets) surely their must be ample evidence of said "problem?"
Of course the best they can do are a few anecdotal instances of CCW holders committing crimes.
As far as OC. I can only remember 2 instances of a shooting involving someone OC'ing. One was a store owner who shot two armed teens trying to rob him. The other was a DE Open Carry Member who shot a guy who tried to rob him as he was getting into his car.
So yes, there's blood in the streets, but it's blood of criminals. I say that's a good thing.
The lesser of two evils, at the very least.
Yeah. I prefer no one get shot at all. That said, I have very little respect or sympathy for those who commit violent crimes.
Gunguys is hilarious by the way.
My two favorites,besides the streets will run with blood is; it is for the children or we are nothing more than vigilantes(Atlanta Mayor called us Georgia gunnies that last year).
"Looks like Illinois is even further behind the times than South Carolina. And again, where is the "blood in the streets" in the other 48 states?"
Easy question to answer. NYC,Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Boston. All places that either completely prohibit an armed citizenry or make it extremely restrictive in an effort to keep the citizen defenseless. Those are the places where the blood runs in the streets.
Based on those irrefutable facts one must assume that the rights deniers are in favor of blood running in the streets, or else they wouldn't be trying to institute it nationwide.
Yeah, it looks that way, don't it?
If they can get the blood running, then there's a "problem" that must be fixed. They're the government, and they'll help. (make it worse)
It's an intentional means of control, and a vicious cycle of dependence.
Texas, where outlaws used to go to escape, well, the law, does not have an open carry handgun provision in state law. Concealed carry, yes, but no hoglegs strapped onto yer thighs. I do not know the history on this lack of legal open handgun carry, having gotten to Texas as soon as I could but not being a native. On the other hand, long arms are legal to carry openly.
There is currently a movement to obtain open handgun carry in Texas. Go for it, I say.
