And then, "In Texas, Arizona and some other states, you can get out of prison, walk straight to the nearest gun show and buy an arsenal of weapons and high capacity magazines without a background check." Cooper, coward that he is, didn't blink.

That's stupefying. Literally. People are walking around believing that nonsense? I can't tell which is stupider. Someone who believes that, or a state that would actually allow that.

Just last week someone caught onto the fact that I was carrying (CC) and was on my way to church. A friend of mine, but I don't remember the event leading up. He made a smart remark about my carrying to church. Something along the lines of "What are you afraid of, the preacher freaking out?'

Then last night, apparently forgetting the previous conversation, he texted me asking if I carried in church. I said, "I carry everywhere." And he responded "Good."

Why does it take things like this happening before people realize that we, law-abiding citizens who carry daily, are not the crazy ones?
