Torog and Epxroot, you both make some very good points. This expands our discussion (and lets agree to allow it to expand) to the issue of letting individual's carry firearms anywhere. I haven't done enough research to have a confidently firm stance, but I'm definately more inclined to say people should be allowed to carry guns on their person.

From every report I've checked out, states that allow you to carry a firearm have lower incidences of murder's and robberies. I agree that many muggers, robbers, home-invaders, and murderers might think twice when the whole public isn't a group full of victims ripe for the picking. More and more in our schools, in our government, in nearly every aspect of our increasingly government-controlled society people are being taut to be disempowered. We're supposed to be 100% dependant on big brother to protect us; call the police, tell a teacher, alert an authority, rat out your friends. Well in the real world the authorities can't be at every corner ready to protect you, and there comes a time in everybody's life when you have to protect yourself.
