That sounds like a good argument in favor of gun control laws. The Swiss are well armed because it is part of their culture. Reasonable regulations do not hinder their ability to arm themselves.

The gun grab post Katrina was disgraceful. As was the wholesale slaughter of domestic animals by the St Benard Sheriff's office. While I support a lawful society, it seems more and more that certain parts of the police are more a part off the problem than the solution.

Or is it an urban myth.
Lamp shades and soap are quite true look it up. The SS doctors also had an unhealthy fascination with twins and medical experiments. They would use one as the control and experiment on the other.

But the police are there to protect you!

Nah. Draws too much attention, I'd feel like a major doucher too. I dont tend to go to places where I fear for my life either.

I did and found nothing to prove that lamp shades were made from prisoners, nor soap.

I have no desire for a carry permit in CT, but it is kinda bothersome that to go to the range with handguns a carry permit is needed.

As to open carry, I'll side with Falstaff

Counterpoint; "better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it."
