Oink,
I agree that there are statistics that point to less crime in states with a pro gun agenda. But again those statistics are based on the US. As you said our history as well as our constitution comes into play. I stand by my prvious post that there are too many guns in the wrong hands, in the US, to ever ban personal weapons.
As for the Glock .40, I love the .40 round but I can't say that I'd ever choose the Glock for my wife's personal carry weapon or should I say she wouldn't. She qualified with a PPK 380. But after it was all said and done she prefers the 38 special/snub.
As for the airport dilemma; ours is a little bit different. Her big decision is where to move her gun from her checkin luggage to her purse. She usually does the switch from her luggage to her purse out near the curbside when she's returning and vice versa when she departs.
My/her struggle with leaving a gun in the car is that they're kinda hard to shoot when they're locked in the car. Lets face it, she is at her most risk walking to or from the car. She always declares the gun at check-in and then slips the guy a five/ten dollar bill and asked him to turn the red luggage tag into the luggage. So hopefully it doesn't become "lost" in transit.
Glenn,
I agree with you that Government doesn't fail us but it is the elect that fails us. But this gov. as well as the elect needs a lot of change. Corporate lobbyist run the country, period.
I don't think taking control of your neighborhood through watches and patrols is to much to ask.
People know when they move to the country that they wont be getting the same services that they had when they lived in the city as well they wont be taxed for those services.
Around here everyone wants more service but when you start talking about raising their taxes, to pay for it, they start calling you a yellow dog etc..
I agree with you about Blackwater and the other "security firms" it's a sad joke and the Anerican tax payer is the brunt of the joke.
Take care,
dave
