I am not exactly sure how this discussion got brought up on a meteorite email list (well actually, I do). But it is an important one, none the less.
This is my personal opinion. If you don't agree, then please done reply, because I won't be. I am not pointing fingers (or guns)... at anyone in particular. I have no problem with someone exercising their right to bear arms. I do, however, have a problem with people that decide to do so in an irresponsible, immature manner. I cannot stress enough the importance of handling a weapon (loaded or not) in the proper manner. And I don't even own a gun.. just common sense. I also believe that NOBODY should be carrying a sidearm in public without the proper training. Even here in WI, anyone can go to a firearms dealer and purchase a gun without attending any formal training whatsoever... and to that, I don't necessarily agree. Perhaps my training and personal experience has lead me to be a bit more stern regarding this topic, but I have also heard countless additional first-hand experiences from those that are involved in law enforcement and firearms certification here in Milwaukee. They are tools that can terminate life immediately. Regards, Ryan Pawelski ---- Erik Fisler <[email protected]> wrote: > > Anyone who owns a fire arm must be a hick or redneck. Nice one!
