There is a rabid CPL holder on there that is determined to cram his idea that CC is the only way:banghead: And he is downright lying:cuss:
lol - rabid... Seems so, doesn't it? Wow, he does seem to feel pretty strongly about OC vs CC. In a sense, I understand where he's coming from - in my CPL class, we were also told that if carrying concealed, it MUST REMAIN CONCEALED. It was much later when I learned that we were misinformed. And there's nothing written about transition from CC to OC, so...
As far as the anti's comments on mlive - I think I agree with what Dr Todd said - that you can state facts and stats until blue in the face and it doesn't make the slightest difference in their opinion, as they're not interested in facts, they're speaking on behalf of their emotions - and seemingly misguided emotions, at that. I DO understand that many ppl out there did NOT grow up in a firearm-friendly home and that their opinions have been primarily formed by biased media. That "liem" fellow, for instance, cut straight to name-calling and stereotyping. His argument, if you'd call it that, wasn't backed by anything substancial.
I agree that guns aren't for everyone. NOTHING is for
everyone. But just because it's not for you, it doesn't give you the right to make it wrong for everyone else, too. Personally one of my greatest loves is skydiving. Again, NOT for everyone. But for someone who's scared of heights to stand on a soap box andscream out that it's dangerous and should be illegal is absurd.The infringement of personal choice is anti-American and anti-freedom. These people who ask for gov't to mandate personal choices scare the hell out of me. I'd swear, this is NOT the best country for them.
