I'm less worried about someone who decided to shoot someone than I am about someone who just loses their temper while they happen to have a gun in their pocket.

Agreed, but I don't see how a law allowing or prohibiting is going to have any real effect on whether that person does have a gun in his pocket. If he's of the gun-totin' persuasion, he's going to ignore any such laws and have it in his pocket anyway. The only way to prevent it would be to have churches install metal detectors or have ushers start doing pat-downs and purse searches as parts of their usherly duties.

It makes no difference whether such laws are pro-gun or anti-gun, all they do is create controversy, rile people up, and waste legislative effort that could be better spent solving real problems. Theyre nothing but PR tools for politicians seeking to appeal to certain types of voters. They do nothing to change people's behavior.
