MSNBC and right to carry

Posted by David Hardy · 24 March 2010 11:19 AM

"Record numbers now licensed to pack heat / Firearms deaths fall as millions obtain permits to carry concealed guns"

It's far more balanced than you would have seen ten years ago. Rather funny, tho, in that the lead tale is of an armed robber who was shot by one of his intended victims, and it ends with "friends and relatives were left to mourn, barred by the same Castle Doctrine from filing a civil lawsuit."

h/t to sixgun sarah...

They still spend a lot of column inches on the VPC and the Bradys. These tiny groups with very limited public support are given way too much attention by the old media. It was a little better than what I would have expected a few years ago though.

Currently their poll is running 4 to 1 in favor of concealed carry...go add your 2 cents worth.
The opposition comments say things like, "Walk through w-mart and see how many of those green-teethed yokels you'd trust with guns..." Ha! I'd trust every single one of them, if they had a background check and a pistol course to get a permit, they're mature adults with real jobs and families to defend. The projection of these anti-gun goonies is amazing...they imagine that everyone with a gun will lose their cool and "go postal", which maybe what they would do, but is clearly not showing up in the crime statistics. Elitist spitbirds.

Wow, a kelTec .32 saves the day! I have one of those, maybe I'll dust it off and start to carry it again.

Can you believe it now in AZ Dave? We may be getting the right (oops "permission") to carry concealed without a license.

Who would a thunk the change in the politics of concealed carry would change so much in 10 years.

Glad I never jumped thru the hoops to get a license - I just couldn't get past the idea of why I should submit to a background check and fingerprints for that privilege.
