BillD, as usual, I agree with you.

It becomes disheartening when new laws are passed which free up gun-toting. Just recently, the University of Colorado in Boulder passed some regulation which allows concealed weapons to be carried anywhere on campus, including classrooms, by students, faculty, etc.

I would remind folks who think the "Wild West" as an example of guns "keeping the peace," a lot of towns made folks check their guns in at the local constabulary, only getting them back again when they left town.
