Ok this is going to be a small rant, but I was in Minnesota this week for work, and while sitting at the hotel lounge, discussing politics and the state of the country, I brought up the 2nd Amendment and the Constitution, stating that a huge reason that our country is like it is is because most schools don't even teach about it or what it means anymore,. Any way the bar tender states that he feels that we should be allowed to own guns just not carry them, so I ask him his reason behind such a statement. He comes out and says well he lost a friend who was a bouncer at a club a few years ago by a man who up till that point was supposedly a lawful person. He said this bouncer threw this guy out of the bar the guy came back in with a gun and shot him.
So I reply "that is horrible but the guy that shot him was not a good guy he had already made the choice to commit a crime when he went back to his car for his weapon." And the out come may have been different had the establishment allowed the bouncer to carry.
So then I asked him what if someone was to break in to his house and threaten his child's or wives's life or his, and his answer to that is "I am a pretty big guy and I think I could disable the bad guy before anything happened," Well that blew me away as well as one other person at the bar I could do nothing but stare at this guy :cuss:and say to myself people like you you lunatic are why this country is in the shape its in, he proceeded to tell me that Chicago's problem wasn't with the Gangstas wannabes down there but that they had guns.
So I just shook my head :banghead:and told him to do a little more checking of facts before he believes the medias version,I guesssome people just arenot born with the ability to reason.So I gave up trying to discuss the subject with this nuckelhead as it was pointless.
In the meantime the other person at the bar asked me where I was getting my info from, I gave her this web site and she seemed very intrested in it, she was also from Wisconsin, She stated that she had some problems in the past with break ins at her home when she wasn't home, and while it hadn't happened lately she was think of purchasing a weapon for protection just in case it happend again while she was home and that it may help her feel little more secure and was unaware that Wisconsin allowed open carry.
So even though I was dealing with idiots I was able I hope to at least steer someone in the right direction, Ok Rant is over
