Mel, I totally disagree with you on this one. I don't think I'm being the least bit hypocritical. I think anyone in a situation where they know (not think, KNOW) their life is threatened should have the right to a concealed weapon. It has been proven that restaining orders don't work. I also think someone who carries large amount of valuables should be able to have a concealed weapon for protection purposes. Police officers who have taken several gun classes and can truly shoot (I've seen some that are lucky to hit the side of a barn) should be able to carry. But for the "just in casers," sorry, I don't think they need a concealed weapon. Have a gun in your home for protection if you must, but carry it on the street. No, sorry.
