Hi everyone, I joined up here after hearing the Madison 5 incident on AR15.com.
In today's WSJ editorial page, there was a whole bunch of letters from people on both sides of this issue (although I'm not sure why someone brought up codpieces as a form of manhood??). It seems to me that those who are against it are very ignorant. The first letter was from someone who clearly did not know any laws regarding open carry. He talked about "proudly showing gun registration and ID", and wondered if stores could post signs about guns (of course). And along similar veins in other letters.
I wrote an email to the opinion page, refuting many of the claims, explaining the law, and saying a real man or real woman protects their family and loved ones.
I also crossed a personal line. One of the anti's was a guy who claimed 2 tours in Nam, but its obvious he was a REMF for the most part, cause he claimed he went armed only a couple of times. The line I crossed was that I, a non-veteran (I'd be 4F), attacked a veteran for using his military experience to justify his views. However, this just ticks me off (any veteran calling for gun control ticks me off, btw).
I forgot to save the letter to my files, and I'm sure they won't publish it because of the length-or they will heavily edit it as they have with my letters before.
