Could make for some interesting debate. I know I don't want strangers on my property carrying firearms. In fact, if you come up on my property toting, you might be surprised to find holes appearing all over yourself before you hear any words at all. I don't think the President should have strangers roaming around the White House carrying firearms ... he and his family live there. But, other government buildings ... why not?
I don't think felons should be prohibited from carrying firearms. In fact, I think that's complete bullshit. Felons probably have a greater need for self-defense than Regular Joe. If you think there's going to be a future problem with a felon ... keep their ass behind bars ... where they belong. Once they've paid what they owe, they're square with the house and should be allowed to resume their lives ... not running on some second-chance bullshit. If they're getting a second chance ... let 'em take it in another country ... but, better to just keep 'em locked away from the rest of us.
Imagine this scenario: When anyone is scheduled to be released from prison, they are forced to purchase a firearm and required to carry it for a week before being discharged. Think how quickly the prison culture would reform itself. -chuckle
The people with firearms who scare me the most are the ones who don't realize how dangerous they (the untrained) actually are.
