I'm non-political, but my wife teaches English at a university and I find myself asking myself, would I feel BETTER about her safety if (in the world of 2010) I could be sure that EVERY student in her class, every coworker in her department, every person on the street, was exercising their "constitutional privilege" of carrying a firearm at all times? I find the answer is "no" and it becomes an ever stronger "no" for each armed human in her vicinity, irregardless of their psychological profile.

I'm always looking for old Pentax film cameras and lenses to fit Pentax, (either K-mount or M42 screwmount).
