Please listen to this podcast with Kenn Blanchard, "The Urban Shooter," as you read this. It's a great one. He talks to The Gun Rabbi, an orthodox Jew who, after the massacre in Bombay, India, last November--including the unspeakable torture and slaughter of the Jews in the Chabad house there, has embraced the gun culture.
A movie needs to be made about these two guys. Great interview! And a funny joke by Kenn while he's listening to ZZ Top and ordering pancakes. I laughed.
CCW=concealed carry weapon. It's been a quiet revolution these past decades, as this interactive map demonstrates. But it's complicated. Only certain states recognize each other's concealed carry permit. And it differs for each state. I think it's a clearly untenable state of affairs.
All the states recognize my marriage certificate and driver's license, but not my CCW license? How's that?

I don't want to be a cop, except I really appreciate the freedom and peace of mind
that now, since 2004, goes with being one. They can travel almost
anywhere with a concealed weapon regardless of the restrictions of the
locality or state. If I go to the Boston Aquarium with my family, and
yes I've been armed with my Taurus 85 in the pocket or my Taurus PT 140 on the hip. But if caught I'd likely visit the jail for an extended time.
Today when I go to church I'll have my Glock 22. Gun control is about keeping the blacks down, using airbrushed Nazi-era laws. Do you copy? Do you freakin' copy?
So, what? I can't protect my four children and wife because the politicians have demonized the weapons? I'm sorry, I didn't get the memo on the revocation of our inalienable right enshrined in the Second Amendmet, which reads, "The right of the people...to keep and bear arms...shall not be infringed."
The possibility of seeing a monster harm my chicks--and I wasn't able to stop it--would mean life would cease being meaningful or worth living.
So I'll take a jury. My conceal carry permit--I have my NH card--is the Second Amendment. Why can't more people think like Ted Nugent? Apparently, with gun control support at an all-time low and the obvious perils of gun-free zones as described by John Lott, they are. Thank goodness for that. But these gun-free zones are positively an invitation to monsters to unleash hell.
In NH we happen to have the legendary Massad Ayoob, one of the very most respected writers on guns and citizens. Here's his take on the issue. One of his books In the Gravest Extreme should be a bible for any person who takes on the tremendous responsibility of carrying a firearm.
One of the ways I did so was attending the SigArms Academy in Epping, NH, for a weekend in anticipation of getting my CCW license, even though NH, unlike many other states, doesn't require it.

But the near-miss of national reciprocity of concealed weapons for law-abiding people upsets me. The argument of Chuck Shumer that they'd be blood on the streets has been proved baseless over these twenty years. His argument is just rubbish.All the multiple victim public shootings in the U.S. -- in which more than three people have been killed -- have all occurred in places where concealed handguns have been banned.

Brent, Brent, Brent, I thought you'd all for gun control...as long as you define it as "Hittin' what you're aimin' at."
