Dept Store Target Quietly Bans Guns In Their Stores

...


I agree with most of your point....however just because it is becoming socially unacceptable doesn't make it provocative.....an open carry is a deterrent and can be dangerous because you are a target of any criminal intending to commit crime because you are an obstacle and a threat for them......the left has made a weapon taboo, but how many criminals use a holster? Not many, in fact even in law enforcement I can only recall one time that I encountered that. As far as your view of the "dopey redneck " carrying his Glock as a threat of violence......I think that a snap judgement can be opposite of your thoughts, not saying that Bubba waiving a gun in the air wouldn't be a problem but most times I find this to be a non issue

There are plenty of people that should not carry a weapon because of emotion......road rage is a prime example
But if you thought the jackass that cut you off had a gun, you would be far less likely to be aggressive out of the same fear that a weapon creates for a robber......all in all+
{b] I feel that everyone should be more responsible for their family and their own safety and refuse to be a victim
