---> I suspect it's true because we have a nice "concealed carry law" that allows a law abiding citizen to carry a weapon after going through a background check and receiving your permit. Florida is another good example of this in action. If you were a bad guy, would you want to hold up someone that you know could be armed? Hehe, I certainly wouldn't :-) >Richard > >-----Original Message----- >From: Brian Loe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 6:43 PM >To: Richard M.

I guess laws don't work on criminals after all. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
