I can't argue with anything said here.
"I guess the problem you guys have now is that you're so far down that road there's no way back. Even if you banned all guns across the whole of the US tomorrow, there's so many out there it would be meaningless."

This is the one quote I can certainly agree with in the prior post. I think the debate often has a bit of a theoretical aspect to it, versus the pragmatic realities of the world in which we live - banning carry permits or other privileges is certain to mean that law-abiding citizens will comply, but other types we have running around will not. Not a pretty picture, either.

I don't carry but I will always have one in my home to protect my family. My wife has a pistol license and is an experienced shooter as well.

I don't.....it's INSIDE my nightstand, along with an extra clip and box of ammo. Give me some credit.

I just looked in my night stand. I have three flashlights, an old vibrator, a master combination lock, an old VCR remote, a cassette tape of Turkey calls, two shoes laces, a sissor, a couple of chapsticks and a piece of black leather.

As you say, it's all just theory and supposition. The real world is somewhat different. Made for a good debate though.
To the last couple of posts - wow, I thought this had strayed off topic before...
Well, I've had my say. We all have our own opinions and no-one is going to change them because of this thread.
Let's leave it there and just agree I'm right (joke by the way!)

I hope none of you that do carry ever have to use and we all live happily ever after

That'll help!
You can blind an intruder with the flashlights, throw the master combination lock at his forehead, throw the old vcr remote in a corner to make him look over there, threaten him with the old vibrator in his back and the sissor on his throat, then lace his hands up.
But watch out and don't kill yourself with that piece of black leather...

I forgot about the three boxes ammo.
