People work towards things that they at least believe to be in their self-interest. That doesn't mean that it always is in their self-interest, but at least they thought it was at the time. Sometimes they extrapolate this belief to include their belief in an afterlife that is affected by the actions that they do in this life. Sometimes it is just that they value what others think of them more than what might actually be good for them. I'm a grumpy old man and I say it like I see it. Unfortunately, my views sometimes get censored on this forum since it seems that I'm not politically correct enough for the moderators (aka "censors").

My concern is that this would give the Brady Bunch and the media some great fodder. Headline “It is possible for someone to get a license and carry a gun in 32 states without even being able to see what they are shooting at.”

Most states just recently permitted people to legally carry and a few still don’t. I would not want to see us lose ground because of this. Governments do not give people certain rights but they sure can take them away.

By the way, I am disabled and will probably soon be in a wheel chair but even I wouldn’t carry if I couldn’t see what I was shooting at or what was behind behind my intended target.
