My connection dropped, hopefully this isn't a duplicate post.

As a thought experiment, consider these three environments:

1) A minimum security prison where the power has just failed and all the cell doors have opened. Common criminals have flooded the reception area. Due to a labor dispute, the union is on strike and there isn't a guard or warden on site. It's just you in the reception area in the dark with a crowd of common criminals.

2) A CSGV meeting, in a crowd of people on the hunt to stamp out guns. You are armed and an anti-gun twit has just opened her mouth to gulp down air to scream, "CALL 911!!! HE'S GOT A GUN!!!!"

3) A crowded gun range full of gun zealots armed to the frickin' teeth.

In which environment do you feel safest? Least safe?

Least welcome as a fellow citizen?

I would feel least safe in the roomful of criminals, although a roomful of anti-civil rights activists comes a close second. If you had a concealment failure its hard to know what that crowd might do.

The gun range goes beyond a feeling of safety. I get contentment, practicing the life of being a free American. Any time I've had the pleasure of being in a room full of armed folks, that's just reassuring. I'm among my own kind.
