"We could have an incident with these concealed weapons people," said Jim Sollow, board chairman of Virginians Against Handgun Violence. "When people have these weapons, our concern is that they tend to do dumb things with them."

Isn't this the same barking sound we heard BEFORE the CCW law was passed?

And it didn't happen?

Like CCW holders are going to shoot up state parks in VA all of a sudden?? Fat chance.

I've never had a CCW permit -- where I live, on Long Island, it's close to impossible to get one -- but I've known a number of CCW holders. They struck me as being exceedingly sober about the weapons they carried, and highly unlikely to use them imprudently. They cherished their right to carry, and regarded any threat to it -- from the state or from their own misconduct -- as maximally serious.

It's people who evince a pathological fear of guns, who think of them as snakes coiled and waiting to strike the innocent, who pose a real danger. These folks can't distinguish between the animate and the inanimate, nor for that matter between aggressive violence and violence wielded in defense. Someone with that little clarity of mind probably thinks cars go out at night and cause accidents while their owners are asleep. They just about came out and accused Ronald Reagan of impregnating hordes of inner-city teenagers, didn't they?

Now, now, don't go confusing the little dear with the facts - it makes him break out in hives and throw a tantrum...
