    Well, here's a "study" for you all: try not to pop an artery though:

    Wow, how profound, handguns can actually kill.

    I like this demonization of handguns statement:
    "It was important to study handgun carrying because about 90 percent of all firearm homicides and nonfatal firearm crimes for which the type of firearm is known are committed with a handgun," said Rowhani-Rahbar, who is also an adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

    As if carrying a handgun is a gateway drug to murder and/or nonfatal firearms crimes.

    You're joking, right? Using that logic, why would anyone feel the need to carry when at least 4% of the people you're around are carrying?

    In the smaller depts I can understand. Where I worked there were at least 3 officers in the substation at any time and 1 civilian employee. And that was at night, daytime several more. Figure those ratios. I won't comment on the competency of LEO's with a pistol any more than I will about the LTC with 6 hours of classroom and 2 hours of range time or whatever it takes.

    And yet libs are fixated on scary-looking rifles.
    Go figure...

    pronstar,

    The TRUTH is that the MORON LEFT's members are simply generally NOT "critical thinkers". Instead, they "feel" about things.

    You will seldom be wrong if you automatically consider them to be DOLTS.

    yours, satx

    I don't generally care how many are carrying around me and I usually don't look for anyone; unless they look or act out of place I don't give a shit. I've been in Texas for over 4 years and the first time I noticed a civilian carrying happened only a week or so ago. I was out to lunch at Free Birds with a bunch of guys from the office and 6 guys were at the table next to ours. The four in my sightline were printing while sitting so I assume the other two were carrying as well. It wasn't noticeable and the only reason I did was because the first guy I did noticed walked by with a 5.11 t-shirt on and got my attention. All the others had regular street clothes on and I didn't give them more than a cursory look when they first sat down.
