A few months ago I watched an episode of Penn and Teller's "Bullsh*t" about gun control....I am afraid this episode really was "Bullsh*t". The classic, IMO, was a woman who went to a market to do the shopping with her father and a guy came in with guns a blazing. Her father was killed in the foray, as were some others. She said that had she been allowed to carry concealed she could have stopped him. So I can imagine her getting ready for the shopping "bread, milk...go to the post office to get some stamps, deposit this check....anything else....better take my gun, I may have to kill someone and become a hero". Talk about sick! How many people would have been killed when a dozen people start re-enacting the shootout at the OK corral...
I was in central America several years ago and I remember in Honduras a number of things that were....well....different. I had to go into the bank to get some cash and at the front door was a sign asking all customers to leave their guns at the front desk and remember to pick them up when they leave. We were also on a local bus and a guy gets on and has to stand. As he turns around we could see the revolver sitting in his back pocket. Also went to the local supermarket and the security guard had a pump action shot gun. People walking around the street with a machette hanging on their belt...
