I think we all respect the men in blue. Some of us are just a little worried about untrained people running around armed thinking they are the public’s “defenders.” (I saw an older couple in the Cottonwood, AZ Walmart - the gentleman had a pearl handled Colt holstered on each hip and his wife had one in a shoulder holster over her blouse.). I often wonder how many of these people turn into the “really nice, quiet guy” next door who goes nuts in a church, school, or Walmart? Another question, why is violent crime so much lower in countries like England & Australia where people can’t own handguns?

Not true! Have you ever been to England? Home invasions are a big issue because burglars know the homeowner is unprotected. Been there, seen that!
