I don't see the logic. It should be mandated that a criminal make it easier for himself to be killed if he fails to obey the law?
To me that makes about as much sense as thinking that a criminal will avoid carrying a firearm into a gun free zone because of the penalty for breaking that law, when they're going to commit a crime that has a penalty of 25 to life... or the death penalty.
I agree with you. I'm saying that either law is ridiculous. Why should law abiding citizens be restricted from protecting themselves in the manner that they choose? Especially in a manner that causes no harm what so ever to any other person.
