Use the same method. That's the practical answer. <b>Your answer gets to the philosophical heart of the matter</b>. In a free society, the question always should be stopping people from doing the few things proscribed by the law. The question of "how can we tell if someone is allowed to do X" reveals an attitude contrary to American principles. <br /><br />It's unclear whether we're safer with concealed carry. In the absence of overwhelming evidence, we should always <b>err on the side of the government leaving people alone</b>. Even if it's proven to be safer to forbid all guns, we have to allow guns at least to the extent to comply with the 2nd Amendment.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824987036580158137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294580951502585066.post-74131574776120881692009-07-22T05:19:24.343-07:002009-07-22T05:19:24.343-07:00I really don't have an opinion on the gun que...I really don't have an opinion on the gun question, but I don't think you should ever drive and talk on the cell phone.

There is of course a problem with the current conceal legislation in that each state has their own conceal permit standards and so, if you were to take your gun across state lines, in some cases you'd be breaking the law and in others you are not. When I drive out of state, I'm always wondering if it's legal or not to talk on my cell phone while I drive. I think some uniformity would make sense, though I don't want to see any of it while the Dems are running things.conservative generationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614578478747561732noreply@blogger.com
