I don't want a gun. I don't want to need a gun. I don't want to feel unsafe
because I don't have a gun. Do I have a right to not have a gun? Am I
destined to live in fear if I live in a state that encourages everyone to pack
heat so that the "playing field" is level? Further, where does it end?
Should bus drivers carry? School teachers? Sunday school teachers? High
school kids? If you say that the age limit is 18, does that mean that 18 year
old high school students can pack?
I think that the notion of people carrying weapons everywhere to "level the
playing field" is rather cartoonish myself. In any case, with a cell phone, a
pager, a laptop, and a PDA (not to mention the godforsaken glasses I need to
correct my suckass 47 year old vision) I've got way too much to carry around
anyway. 8^)
