Hmm.. combine being able to carry concealed guns with bad economic times, joblessness, war, congested traffic, road rage... Your local neighborhood arms race. More police officers will be shot. More police officers will shoot thinking the 'suspect' had a gun instead of a screw driver. Oh wait, we down sized the police force! Maybe less police shootings cause there won't be as many to shot or be shot at. Instead of punching each other because someone cut you off, it's easier to just wack them when you drive by. What's next? Legalize the creation of WMD in our backyards? After all, we never know when a terrorist might attack our house! Maybe with all those terror alerts (orange, red, green, yellow, rainbow, I'd prefer pink terror alerts), it's a good time to push for the "must issue" gun bill cause it has a greater chance of passing. That's right folks, you'll get a better sense of security by carrying a gun. You can fight off terrorists, drug dealers, ex-es, bad drivers, or bad neighbors. Depending on which way Bush's fart blow each morning, you'll be secure knowing no matter what color he decides to alarm the public, you'd be secure with that gun, duct tape, and that plastic sheet. -- Thomas T.
