Reply #9: I have to ask, Hoyt-

[gravity556]

Just what injury is done to you by my having a firearm in my pocket or inside my waistband? It doesn't give off radiation, it doesn't distract me or impair me when I'm driving, you can't smell it or see it and while I disagree vehemently with your view on gun rights, unless you threatened me with bodily harm or kicked in my front door, there's no chance I will shoot you with it. They don't go off by themselves-99% of what gets posted here as "accidental discharges" are really "negligent discharges", caused by either an idiot playing with a gun or someone not paying attention and inadvertently pulling the trigger.

My carrying a gun costs you nothing and doesn't infringe on your freedoms whatsoever (in any real sense, anyhow. I know you feel that anyone except you who owns guns scares you, but I don't know what to say about that other than "Buy a nightlight"). Which is why I and the other pro-rights folks in this forum can't understand the butthurt.
