Concealed carry (CCW) is really ingenious because the bad guys do not
know who is carrying while the average person does not freak out.  Open-
carry might lead to shootouts or jumpy cops or confused intentions.
Vermont supposedly allows open carry with no problems but I am not sure
if it would work in other states.  The other problem with open carry
would be buildings would put up signs to keep you out.  Does anyone
know if the building in Buckhead (Atlanta) where Barton went crazy
prohibited CCW?  I know the building owners are being sued because of
lax security.

I agree with the original poster that Hollywood and the entertainment
industry is probably a more serious problem than the gun industry.  The
entertainment industry glorifies gun violence to rake in billions in
profits.  The mega-violent movies are also target marketed to young
males.  No wonder young men go nuts with guns.  I am not making excuses
for kids but kids had access to guns in the 1950s but not mega-violent
films or video games like today.  They had westerns but they were a lot
different.

Guns on airplanes is a bad idea.  You shoot a hole in the plane and you
have some real problems.  Does anyone know where I can get more details
about the CCW incident in Jacksonville where the perp counted to 10 and
only got to 8?

CCW is such a great idea, pure genius.
