An armed society...

is a polite society.

If you've heard that before, then you're in the club. A decoder ring is being emailed to you as we speak.

But its the truth, all kidding aside. If you knew that 50% of the population carried a firearm, how quickly would you be willing to go all crazy with road rage on a Wednesday morning? Not very.

If you knew that good, responsible, law abiding citizens were sitting around you in a restaurant and they had all passed their classes, taken the back ground check, and come out clean and were carrying their firearm, how worried would you be about a sudden outbreak in a restaurant. Not very.

Some people think that an armed society leads to vigilante justice. Well, there have been, let me check, ZERO instances of that ever happening that I'm aware of. Has it happened, sure. Is it prevalent, oh heck no! I would hazard a guess that it's 1 case in 100,000 if even that much.

So, the truth is that an armed society is a polite society.
