I’m soooo happy you are amused…..WildBill wrote:I find it amusing that when some people get a permit to carry a handgun, they start asking questions about carrying batons, clubs, blackjacks, switchblades and handcuffs.
I think they are just curious, most having just had their first exposure to the laws pertaining to weapons (in their CHL Class).
Personally, I’m infuriated by such laws. The fact that most of these particular laws, have been on the books since the Civil War, is only testament to how easily a free society can be convinced to give up their liberties.
How anyone, with an IQ above room temperature, could somehow believe that the way to stop criminals is to outlaw possession of weapons by everyone, is beyond me.Most laws are equally ridiculous, in one way or another.
I think Ayn Rand had it right:
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
