Concealed carry is an awful idea
According to Last Week's Poll
Criminals and crazy Chinese people are going to carry around guns anyway, but what about middle-aged crack-ass crackas who harbor Dirty Harry fantasies about preventing violent crime by shooting somebody on the subway? Last week's poll had to do with whether concealed carry is a good idea.
The results:
- Awful idea (129 votes)
- Great idea (90 votes)
Of course I had to vote 'awful idea,' and it looks like a majority of you d-bags agree: concealed carry is an awful idea. To paraphrase Burt Bachrach, what the world needs now is less, not more, guns.
The thing is, as much violent crime as there is in this country, the vast majority of it takes place in the ghetto. And it's not like most of the cracka-ass crackas in favor of concealed carry live anywhere near the ghetto anyway.
Do I mean to suggest that there would never be a scenario in which concealed carry might be useful? Obviously not. For starters, last year's incident with Pimp C could have been avoided entirely had some Clint Eastwood-type iced him when he whipped out his AK in a mall.
And for what it's worth, they have concealed carry here and it's not like motherfuckers are just shooting at one another. I'm pretty sure half of the old cracka-ass crackas at the BGM (which is near a gun store as well as a hotel where they have a lot of gun shows) are packing.
Still, I'll maintain that there are better ways to prevent crime than having everyone walk around with a hand cannon tucked in his pants. Call me crazy.
