Yesterday, the wife and I went to Spokane to have breakfast with my sister and brother-in-law, both of whom I haven't seen in years.
At one point, the discussion turned toward guns, and my sister proclaimed that people, carrying openly, scare her to death. When I asked why, her husband stated "you never know what they're going to do". When I asked about police officers, I got the response "well, they're trained".
I followed up with questions about former military, off-duty cops, people carrying concealed, etc., and got the various negative responses, common with Liberals. So, I guess, unless you're wearing some kind of uniform...you can't be trusted with a gun?
Now, what I don't get is that these two people used to shoot. In fact, my sister used to sleep with a gun under her bed and was considered an excellent shot, by her husband. What happened to them, to change their beliefs, so radically???
I guess I'll just have to readdress the subject, next time we get together. If I discover any useful information, I'll come back and post it for the rest of you.
On a side note, I believe they would have been horrified to discover the S&W 340PD, in it's holster, beneath my un-tucked shirt and/or my wife's S&W 317 in her "concealed carry" purse.
