And I drive by a bank at the beginning of the month when banks carry more cash to give out to all those darn welfare recipients who don't deserve it. We all know those people don't wake up very early, and I'm driving by right as the bank opens. So I'm thinking, "Wow, those welfare recipients don't deserve all the cash that's in that bank right now, and they aren't awake yet to get it, so I probably won't hurt anyone when I ram through this window, and if I go fast enough I can wind up in the vault and get all that money!" Of course, doing that won't actually solve anything. You can make up the way I get away in your mind.

It's like you've lost the ability to differentiate between fantasy and reality.
Fantasy? It was a theoretical example of how having a concealed hand gun present legally could quickly turn into a tragedy.

Who are these people in Indiana being held up by at the moment? Probably a law abiding citizen with a legally registered gun who has chosen to use it for crime.

I could be wrong of course just guessing.
