I don't know what the average person in Idaho or Wyoming thinks they NEED a gun for...but maybe they have better attitudes about it than many here in the big cities of the eastern USA, where 14 yr. old kids have been recorded in interviews as saying that it is just 'easier' to shoot someone if they 'mess' with you. No, I am not often near those neighborhoods, but if I were, HAVING a gun would not do me much good. I suppose if I were in Wyoming...I might own something, but not here!...and what about a mid-sized city in Kansas? There sure seems to be a wide difference of opinion, depending on where you live and certain .....ummmmm....well, just certain basic attitudes.

Let's face it...SOME folks just like guns, no matter WHAT reason, statistics and the law say.
