I may just have to move to Arizona.

Eh we have a higher sales tax here in TX.

New Hampshire is perhaps the next best thing.....longstanding liberal shall issue and no state income tax.

Uhhh...NOOO. NH is NOT "the next best thing" to AZ. Too close to NY, MA, CT and in New England. And, you have to drive through most of that crap to get anywhere south/southwest out of NE. Canada isn't an option.... High cost of living, especially energy costs, sh^tty winters... No thanks. Just left for AZ after almost five years in CT. NEVER AGAIN will I set foot in the tri-city NY/CT/NJ area or the rest of New England if I have anything to say about it.

BFD. You also do NOT have a state income tax IN ADDITION to a high sales tax. You realize that as a TX resident, right?

I fail to see the need for open carry if you're not in law enforcement. The argument for open carry is " it's a deterant " and "to stop a crimnal act" but that's the job of law enforcement. Doing the "right" thing as far as preventing a crime is subjective and the down side is possibly Manslaughter worst case , and best case is civil liability . I am not saying you shouldn't do your best to prevent a crime but to start pulling a gun exposes yourself to the legal system. I open carry when hiking in the mountains but I won't do it otherwise.

I wonder sometimes about if my state outlawed concealed carry. Would I still do it? The bad guys are doing it anyway. If its concealed who would know? About the only way to get caught would be if you had to use it which most of us won't. I don't know what I would do, but I don't think I could go without. I'd probably still do it just not as often. This is a great question to post. Someone who knows how to do one of those polls should post it.

No question in my mind. I'd carry anyway. Who's gonna know and who really cares. I follow all rules that make sense to me, if they don't, they get ignored. No guns on school grounds, silly I'm keepin it. No guns on city campus except for uniformed personel, silly I'm keepin it. Unless there's a metal detector I'm keepin it. I just dont go there. Anyone wants to try and take it from me, bring it. I'm keeping it. Your poll is a good idea, I'm clueless how to do that but I'm sure some one smarter than me knows how. Actually that doesnt eliminate anyone does it. I now know what it feels like to be the bottom of the heap. Somebody has to do it I guess.

The phrase stand down Marine comes to mind.

[jlottmc]

I was wondering how long that would take. Very well. Answer choices? I can do up to ten.

Such as?

[jlottmc]

Ok I think I will do that poll after the current one closes, and the choices will be yes no on a limited basis and not sure. Think that should do it.
