MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (Reuters) - When Ohio voter Paul Presta opened his door to two election canvassers one recent Saturday he interrupted them in mid-sentence and asked Jim Lewis about an issue close to his heart.
"Do you support the second amendment?" he asked, referring to the U.S. constitutional right to bear arms, and pointed at Lewis.
Lewis grinned and lifted up his shirt slightly to give a glimpse of a Glock 9mm pistol tucked into his belt, for which he has a concealed carry permit.
Presta, 72, a semi-retired businessman, instantly relaxed, cheerfully telling them he had already voted for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

I wish the Romney canvassers would come to my house. I'd turn the water hose on them.

(5,436 posts)This can't be true. According to the Delicate Flowers (gun-nuts) in the gungeon, gun control is a repiglican idea, and guns-guns-GUNS is a "progressive" ideal.
Gungeneers - trying (in vain) to move the gun-Overton Window to the right on DU.

(23,926 posts)(And I happen to have a VA concealed carry permit.) The operative word there being "concealed". That's kind of the point. In my experience, guys who need to flash their guns tend to suffer from teeny-dick syndrome.
