Toby,
My point, way back at the beginning is I can't land at Heathrow with a gun. Period. So, I'm not coming. It isn't a problem for me in South Dakota, and, the hunting is actually better there, anyway.
If you don't trust your neighbors, I feel for you. Really. But, if my neighbor wants to carry, God bless him. I really feel that way about it, and the process to do so, legally, over here will weed those out who have demonstrated they are unfit. I'm more comfortable with my neighbor carrying, legally, than anyone else carrying, illegally.
I, like Geo have a permit to carry. It is no more to me than another step on the citizenship ladder, one that is optional at that, much like voting. If you choose not to do either, that is your right, but, it is also my right to participate and I'll thank all to keep their opinions out of my rights.
Geo, I'm grateful and thankful I've never had to use my 360 PD. But, it is always there. I'm unwilling to take even a slight risk on my families safety.
Best,
Ted
