Greg, some states do not make any sense in how they control handguns. I agree with you, that specific states laws disturb me. However in NY we have the tightest restrictive gun laws, and our violent crime rate is far higher. Nothing makes sense.

Will, I can only wish that the street gangs, drug addicts and criminals in this country were not as it is today. Something very defective in our country and society today. Back in our fathers day, it was as easy as getting a drivers license for anyone who wished a carry permit. Yet the crime rate and murder rates, well you just didn't hear it happening. Maybe it did and today we have more large scale news coverage but I think the society has changed. Not for the good either.
