You aint lyin' man. It is rediculous over here. Im not sure if anyone across the pond has heard of the Tony Martin case, but people have protesting the current laws in front of Tony Blair's abode for years since this took place. But its true, the criminals have more rights as citizens than you do...

Sounds like a lot of you guys carry... I'm a shooting enthusiast, and I have a CCP in Penna, but I never actually carry. Even though, statistically, states with concealed carry laws seem to have less violent crime, it just seems weird to me that normal civilians are walking around with a cocked/locked semi-auto on their person. Sometimes I'm surprised there aren't more late-night bar-brawl, or road-rage shootings between otherwise law-abiding citizens... I guess the majority with CCP's are responsible, and don't want to screw up their privilage.
BTW, not saying I'm against it of course, just that I'm surprised it's still permitted - kinda reminds me of the Old West!!

God bless America!!
