>>>I agree with you. It probably is a regional thing. I believe in Arizona you are allowed to carry a gun. How does this affect the crime statistics? I'm not really sure. I would have to research that. Texas and most of the South are more "gun culture" oriented than the North East. Most everybody I know wouldn't think of carrying a gun, aside from the fact that getting a "carry" permit is next to impossible here. The only people who carry guns here are criminals and cops.

>>Uhh... Hmmm... What's wrong here?

>Makes me proud to live in the South. Of course, a lot of the west, is like the south. In Gunnison, Colorado, where I've hunted for decades, it's not unusual to see someone in a small town with a pistol strapped on.

Well it is Gunnison, afterall :o) (I love that place by the way. Not far from GJ)
