Flying to Nevada from Illinois with a gun

I had a buck knife on my belt in school. I didn't even think about it as a weapon.

--- Quote ---When somebody stops a crime with a gun, it's not news. It doesn't get on the news until somebody gets shot in a crime.
It perpetuates the myth that guns are evil when all that is reported is bad.

Or maybe it doesn't happen very often.

Gary Conduit was anything but poor. Remember that guy? What a joke. At least it pointed up what a tool he was. I was amazed at his straight face the whole time. Playing around with young women like that. Who'd he think he was? Bill Clinton?
My old neighbor was a heating and air guy. Carried his glock wherever he went. He related a couple of stories where the mere presence of his weapon twarted some would be thieves. He had to whip it out only once.
Never made the news. Never made the Statistics.
He called his glock his "American Express" because he didn't leave home without it.
It's great to be an American isn't it?
