Another US news story to make Ann happy! Yes, so happy. What is interesting about this article is that it clarifies something with regard to why "law abiding" citizens feel the need to carry guns which is that they don't feel safe in their lives. The mention of the drug dealers in this particular area points to the justification these people use to want to openly carry weapons.

No criminal is going to shoot the unarmed guy first if there is a gun holder in the room. And look at this guy standing in front of the target - all puffed up and "manly" 'cause he owns and shoots guns. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/13/us/alabama-ruling-hobbles-ban-on-guns-in-the-open-at-polls.html?ref=us&_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/13/us/alabama-ruling-hobbles-ban-on-guns-in-the-open-at-polls.html?ref=us&_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/13/us/alabama-ruling-hobbles-ban-on-guns-in-the-open-at-polls.html?ref=us&_r=0 Alabama Ruling Hobbles Ban on Guns in the Open at Polls After a sheriffs association sought to ban unconcealed weapons, fearing they might frighten voters, the state’s attorney general ruled that guns could be openly dis...
