>Could you imagine what kind of return to morals our society would have if every law abiding citizen(ie one with out a criminal record) was carrying a firearm? My only problem is that I would go through alot of monitors!!

I believe Arizona still allows their non-criminal citizens to carry a holstered firearm as long as it is visible. Texas allows only permited citizens to carry concealed firearms. So do many other States with which Texas has reciprocity.
