Not to be contentious, but if this is your viewpoint, then why are you on this thread? Your comment makes no logical sense and smacks of feminism.

Feminism? Is that a typo? Did you mean to say "liberalism"?

Nope. I meant what I said. They go hand in hand. This comment shows a complete fear of anything that might be construed as an extension of male dominance.....aargh. In the words of John Wayne, "I haven't done this much explaining in a long time."

How is Sam Colt's Equalizer an extension of male dominance? Most of the women I know who call themselves "feminists" have zero problems with guns or CCW. I'm certain that there are a number of anti-gun feminists out there, but I don't think it's so much an outgrowth of feminism as it is knee-jerk liberalism.

It is the common theme and attitude of those in NJ. I lived there for 18 years. In North NJ no less. Screeching scaredy cat liberal nanny state do gooders. I have never seen a class/group of people so interested in another's business as I have in NJ. My Mother left and moved all the way to VA. She said the only people she had a problem with in her neighborhood were from NJ. Always in someone's business and trying to tell someone what to do. I am glad I left the state and will never return. If someone is "scared" because of law abiding gunowners then stay right where you are. Just don't whine when you get mugged, jumped, robbed...etc etc. fill in the blank. I wasn't born in the south, but got here as soon as I could.

All, I think you may be a bit hard on Rene. I am guessing he was making a joke.

Paul,
It may have been a joke, but IT IS the attitude of Jerseyites. I am speaking from experience.

In spite of the dire warnings from the anti-rights movement, no statistical increase in violence has ever resulted from loosened permit laws.

OK

Thanks for the good spirits, my comment was meant that way but I guess I insulted some folks.

It is all good until you have to take your gun from its place on your hip, ankle,center console, and decide to kill or not. Be prepared for that day, and the day after. It is not fun.

Well, let me put it like this: I know my handle says I'm from DC, but the truth is I live and work right across the Potomac river in the beautiful gun friendly state of Virginia. It's no accident. If I can't carry, I don't go. I haven't seen Maryland in years.
