Of course not Jared. Apparently a lot of folks are just to insecure to venture outside without the "protection" of a gun. I've read every post in this thread and still think its a case of "the sky's falling" mentality. I've lived in SoCal for 38 years and have never once felt like I needed a gun...even when I went to a Raiders game at the Coliseum back in the 80's. A gun only increases your odds of getting whacked and I doubt the crime rate would go up if we were not allowed to carry them. Just adjust the laws so that if you commit a crime with a gun then you're removed from society permanently. No fuss no muss.
