I've never had a problem with guns, but I have had many problems with people with attitude issues.
But crime seems to be higher where it's illegal to have guns, as the bad people are going to have guns either way, as they're not following the laws in the first place.
Of course, when they started talking about teachers being allowed to have guns in the class room, the two teachers that got most excited and volunteering to be the gun people for the school, were also the last two teachers I would want with a gun, as I thought they were the least mentally stable to start with. And the teachers that I was thinking would want the guns, and I would want him protecting the students had zero interest in them.
So, I don't think it's about the guns, I think it's about the people. And I think there needs to be some sort of limit, and no one has been able to correctly define where that limit should be, and be able to effectively enforce it, as the psychology profession wants nothing to do with gaging whom is or isn't allowed to have them.
Also, I've seen too many people do stupid things with guns, like put them in their normal standard pocket, which a number of people have shot themselves doing, as the trigger get caught and shoots their own leg.
So I feel like there would have to be mandatory trainings to have guns, especially concealed guns, and before anyone gets too upset about that, remember, we also need training to get a drivers license, so it's not something new, when using potentially dangerous equipment in a public setting, you need to to prove you have met a minimum requirement, and maybe allowed for gun ranges to let people practice, while being guided by an instructor, just like learning to drive, etc.
