[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 1889111, member: 8429"] Man, I don't know. I have owned a firearm since I was a kid (thanks, Dad), but I didn't think the same way. Before I went to Phoenix in 1993, or 92... well, whenever it was, I was FLYING back to work, as not to be late from lunch. I was pulled over by an OHP officer, who was nice enough to write me a warning, and asked him what he thought about open carry in Arizona, as I would be moving there soon, and was pretty excited at the prospect of going Eastwood. Would he be worried about making stops, yadda yadda yadda, and he said something like, "Shoot, I figure more than half the vehicles I pull over have a pistol in the glove box." Now I never even took that in to consideration. I felt I had been cheating myself, not having one in [I]my[/I] glovebox. I more than made up for it in Arizona! Anyway, the point of all this rambling: I imagine there has always been some who would do away with the gun. Think about all the "western" towns that required you to check your gun when you arrive, to keep the peace in the 1800s. We just notice it more, as certain situations comes up. Avoid Dodge City.
