A reasonable person does not commit an act of violence because of a Glen Beck, nor a Bill Maher or any other talking head who has a show that does nothing more than promote insanity. A reasonable person doesn't watch Jerry Springer and think that is the way one should live their life either ... we are grasping at straws trying to find an answer to violence when the only real answer is: "as long as there are people , there will be people who commit senseless acts" So figure the odds of running into someone like that, probably small, but be prepared if you do. Not that you need to carry, but think about, what would you do.
