Need has nothing to do with it. We have a "Bill of RIGHTS", not a "Bill of Needs". Does a black person NEED to sit in the front of the bus, does any person NEED to be a Christian, does a newspaper NEED to publish an article critical of the President, does a person NEED to have privacy in his own home. None of us has any business telling any free person what legal activity they should be engaging in. If you have to prove that you NEED to do something before you can do it, you are not free. Freedom is meaningless if it only applies to the things that everybody likes. Some people may not like blacks sitting in the front of the bus, but they have a right to do it. Some people may not like gays getting married, but they have the same rights as anybody else. Carrying a firearm is no different. I once had a city mayor tell me that he supported the 2nd Amendment, but thought that anybody that was OC was only trying scare people. I think you are just as wrong as he was, and I don't think that either of you show much support for the 2nd Amendment. If we start eliminating all the different things that different people find objectionable about carrying a gun there will be nothing left. You don't like long gun carry, some don't like OC, others don't like magazines over 10 rounds, some don't like semi automatics. Soon we'll be able to only carry concealed, single shot, BB guns, if we are in our own bathrooms with the door locked and the shades drawn. That will then be the definition of freedom.
