I'm all for putting as much firepower into as many law abiding citizens hands as possible. The non-law abiding idiots aready have them and are not concerned with obtaining a permit. I would think that these idiots at least give it a thought (I may be wrong here) on which of their targets may be packing. On the other hand if they are in somekind of drug induced stupor they probably don't put much thought into it.

Here in Macon just recently an elderly couple was robbed after a thug asked them for a ride from the Cracker Barrel store to accross the road or somewhere. The thug got into the backseat and threatened the lady driver with a knife and robbed them. Obviously the couple was from out of town and did not realize how bad the thugs were in this area. Anyway, this is an incident where the passenger, if he had been carrying could have blown the thug away but that is not what happened. Thankfully, after the thug had robbed them he jumped out and ran away not harming the couple. The unfortunate thing is that the thug lived to do it again.

You do not want to get into a position where the only people packing are the ones that are doing it illegally. One other thought comes to mind. Isn't it the goal of fascist states to insure that the citizens are unarmed?
