How does being allowed to carry a concealed weapon across State borders

Sailor said:
I am a proponent of people owning guns. That being said, the open carry laws are foolish. Stupid. I can understand a person carrying a concealed handgun. Those idiots walking around with rifles are just looking for trouble and it will not be long in coming.

what is your issue with someone carrying a handgun in the open?

I partied with some skinheads in West Virginia back in the daze..
they were nuts and drank (etc.) and played rock and roll and shot off their guns in the woods like for days.
But at least that was a rural area to your point. I do not want to see open carry in urban/suburban areas, unless you are on duty.

Why else would they make it a priority in Congress? Not a straw man argument, isn't all gun legislative concerns about making us safer?

And if you read down, I did include Illinois, Illinois is ranked 12 in gun violence and has a bit stricter gun laws than most. Also, before you bring up Chicago, why would you need in gun in Chicago, you will never go anywhere near the neighborhoods that are plagued with gun violence, the areas you'd be in are probably safer than your home town

Want to attempt to answer the topic question now?

No not all legislation has to do with safety.

I reject your premise.

Why are they bringing it up now? Gun rights are a priority for many of us.

Just because they aren't for you doesn't mean it shouldn't be.

You lost. We won. Our priorities take precedence.

Personally I prefer open carry.

make America safer" Currently, it is supposedly a top priority for the new Congress, but I'd love to know how a guy from Louisiana, Alabama, or Texas, which all have high rates of gun violence, makes everyone safer by being allowed to pack his gun in New York, Massachusetts, or Hawaii, which all have low levels of gun violence?

And don't bother to regurgitate all the nonsense regarding the Second Amendment, as we know, no right is absolute, even speech can be regulated, Justice Scalia himself stated in wan't an unlimited right

It's funny how you purposefully misspell words, typos etc. You're trying too hard to fool people, why?
 
What is puzzling about this thread is that the OP author seems not to care about the people who do not have CC. People with a CC permit are far less likely to use their gun in an illegal manner.

So, what is it to you if someone is packing heat? Are you scared?

Tell that to all the people who have used a weapon to defend, not only their lives, but other people's lives.

That's just fucking wonderful. But the facts are that you are more likely to be injured with a weapon in the home than be protected by it. So, you could tell your version to those people.

Uh huh, sure you have chief. Is this the same """study""" that says you're 2x as likely to die renting a property as opposed to owning it?

Oh, so it IS that study! That makes this easy.

That """study""" does not differentiate between suicides and accidents. And since suicides are 2/3 of gun deaths, it makes your conclusion one based on a faulty premise.

Tl;Dr you're wrong.

Sigh. I grow weary of doing the homework for you lazy asses.


Abstract
Data from a US mortality follow-back survey were analyzed to determine whether having a firearm in the home increases the risk of a violent death in the home and whether risk varies by storage practice, type of gun, or number of guns in the home. Those persons with guns in the home were at greater risk than those without guns in the home of dying from a homicide in the home (adjusted odds ratio = 1.9, 95% confidence interval: 1.1, 3.4). They were also at greater risk of dying from a firearm homicide, but risk varied by age and whether the person was living with others at the time of death. The risk of dying from a suicide in the home was greater for males in homes with guns than for males without guns in the home (adjusted odds ratio = 10.4, 95% confidence interval: 5.8, 18.9). Persons with guns in the home were also more likely to have died from suicide committed with a firearm than from one committed by using a different method (adjusted odds ratio = 31.1, 95% confidence interval: 19.5, 49.6). Results show that regardless of storage practice, type of gun, or number of firearms in the home, having a gun in the home was associated with an increased risk of firearm homicide and firearm suicide in the home.

You're mistaken if you think possessing a weapon makes you safer. It's a delusional myth the gullible barrel strokers buy.

Well, I've carried a gun for 30 years, and I've felt more prepared to deal with certain situations, so it's not a myth to me. And I think you could find a few cops who would agree with me.
