There is a reason they make holsters. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #6

What!? Holsters are the solution? longship Jan 2013 #9

Correct, you don't get it. I will explain it. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #10

But can he conceal it in his pocket if it's in a holster? proud2BlibKansan Jan 2013 #12

They make holsters specifically for that purpose. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #15

I get it! Idiots with guns in public with HOLSTERS! And everything will magically be fine forever. Chorophyll Jan 2013 #14

Not for everything, but for this case, yes. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #17

So, more laws, like safeinOhio Jan 2013 #19

That would be a radical interpretation of what I wrote. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #22

Unless you mandate the use of such holsters, what you've said is fairly worthless. EOTE Jan 2013 #39

I don't see the need for any such law. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #41

So what you've said is utterly worthless. EOTE Jan 2013 #43

Laws only work if they are enforced. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #45

There ARE no current laws that would have prevented that idiot from shooting his wife. EOTE Jan 2013 #46

It might have helped if the idiot in question weren't an idiot in the first place. Bake Jan 2013 #48

Sure, but do you suggest a law outlawing idiots? EOTE Jan 2013 #59
