Nawww, Kendall... I was well aware YOU were not suggesting sane folk SHOULD carry.... I was push your logic to the extreme....and several times, I have heard it argued that everyone legally able should carry. One Florida county..or town ...tried that a number of years ago.
I was asking why it would NOT be reasonable to have most or all sane, competent people trained and packing heat... (*I* don't think it's a good idea, but if one is good, why aren't 27 better in McDonald's?)
   Remember...at that shooting in Arizona, there WAS one guy with a gun who 'almost' pulled it and used it on he wrong person in the furor! Only luck and a woman grabbing the shooter's spare clip prevented more tragedy.
