Re: So why should I carry\have a gun?
Well, then I guess I'm more of a gun control advocate than you. I think all firearms should be registered. I think a criminal background check should be mandatory. Those are actually already laws, so I would add that a national database for the mentally ill and mentally unstable be added to the list.
I totally agree. I have no inkling to remove guns from citizens, but I agree with registration & background checks. Having spent a number of years in the military (26), I have fired a number of weapons for which I and the other soldiers had to learn the fundimentals of each particular type of weapon, before we could actually fire it either on a range or in combat.
