Venting re. Mich. Gun Laws & H.R. 218

[EricTheBald]

You know, for a guy that supposedly spent most of 2 decades involved in law enforcement, it don't seem as if you've spent a lot of time considerin' the concepts that the law is based on.

We are all products of our environments.
I have lived in a state for over 30 years, Arizona, where open carry is legal to all and CCW is shall issue.
I do not have draconian views on who has the "right" to carry a weapon for self defense.
My views and my states laws are very much in line with the 2nd Amendment.

I frequently talk to others who were raised in states where only the elite, aka state employees had guns and their views are often reflective of their environment.
Convincing them of the individuals right to carry is akin to convincing the Pope that God does not exist.

There are also those people who fall in between in their views also.

Jack,
Make fun of the 2nd Amendment all you like, but without it you wouldn't be able to get a permit now that you are retired. You are just a regular citizen now, no longer one of the states elite.
