Chris,
Here on the West Coast there is a plethora of illegal handguns.
They are everywhere.
I also know that if one went to the UK , within 6 hours one could be "strapped" if one looked hard enough.
I'm torn between this issue.
When i lived in Florida I had guns.
Here I don't feel the need to.

You know Nick, I can see both sides of the arguement, but I have to side with gun ownership.
I don't feel the need to have and carry a hand gun, but I choose to. I don't feel it is a risk (for me or anyone else) and I am certainly not scared because I think someone else has one. LOL
In fact, most every person that lives in my town has guns and I am sure a good bit carry them in their vehicle like I do. I rarely ever carry concealed, although I am licensed.
What sucks is that people like me who grew up around guns, but not around gun violence or epidemic gun accidents (does that exist?) are threatened by extremists that would ban every firearm if they got their way.
And, to add insult to injury, the most vociferous group on this topic here are not US citizens.
