I'm not sure which is an easier question to ask is, "what does he know" or "what doesn't he know?"
Either way, he doesn't know much.
I liked this tidbit.
Seventy-seven percent believed that concealed-handgun permits issued in one state should be honored by other states "in the way that drivers' licenses are recognized through the country"

I am reminded of the time when I was working a week-end duty shift at the airbase in California where I was stationed, and I got to talk to a reservist who was a San Francisco street officer in "real life". I asked him what he thought about concealed carry permits and average folks carrying firearms. He said that he automatically assumed that EVERYONE was carrying because that was the safest thing to do. Then, if the person had a permit to carry (fairly rare in California), it was okay and he felt better about it because they had been background checked. And I didn't know this guy from anyone, just that he was a reservist in the Air Force.
