Actually Torog, I'm born and raised in Oklahoma. I'm out of here in 2 months though when I go to college (OU). I'm sure you'll eat me alive on that one considering how hostile you Texans are to us Okies.
But anyway, back to the issues. I think our society lives in fear, this being the same fear that makes us think we need guns. How many times have you ever been robbed in your life where you needed a gun to defend yourself? It just seems to me that by letting people defend themselves legally with guns, they're just making the State's gun problems a whole lot worse. I don't care if I'm a fake "southerner" or not in your eyes. It's my opinion. You have yours, I have mine.
