Anyime they get ready to pass a new self defense law the media always compares it to the wild west. Happened here in Memphis several years ago but we got our CCW law passed and guess what, it never turned out like the media speculated.
For those of you hypocrites that don't believe in the right to self defense, remember just like porn it's our constitutional right to bear arms! Carrying a gun or owning one locked up in a box does nothing to protect you, being able to use it when you have to can save your life.
In places like New York the only people who have guns are the criminals, now does that make you feel safe? Criminals by definition are people who break the law, so they don't give a shit if it's against the law to own a gun or not! They also feel much safer to target a law abiding citizen because they know, they won't be able to do much. Strict gun laws only protect the bad guys, allowing people the right to defend themselves protects the good guys who don't want to do anything illegal.
History has showed, these laws don't get abused by honest people. Is Memphis a safer place because of our carry laws, nope I really don't think so because criminals will always exist. I can say my house is safer, my family is safer and when I'm going down the street with my gorgeous wife in tow and anybody takes the notion to snatch her or rape her is going to find just how we defend ourselves in the South. The only question for that criminal will be, which of us is faster on the draw me or the wife
