Who, exactly is a "casual gun owner"? Go to the sherrif's dept. and pay $90 bucks and EARN a CCW. Maybe THEN you may have a clue. I've been carrying since 1968. Lifetime member of the NRA. Member of SASS. Am I a "casual gun owner"? Or should I be a member of Special Forces, FBI, CIA, SS to lable me as a "not a casual owner"?
*sigh*
I've already repeated that I don't consider people with a CCW casual gun owners.
I think of casual gun owners as people who buy a gun for their protection, but don't bother learning anything about it. Who do you think are the most likely people to leave a hand gun in their house some place where their kids can get to it? Not someone with a CCW. That person has already demonstrated their respect for the weapon.
Like I've said before, it doesn't apply to you guys, and unless you guys are planning from suffering a major lapse of brain power, it never will.
