Also, while I agree that gun control discussion has a place, it is silly after this particular case, as it was terrorism. France has probably much stricter gun control laws than America, yet it did not stop Islamists from killing a lot of people with guns few weeks ago - so using this attack to argue for gun control is pretty dishonest.

How is it materially different then if it was a pair of non-Muslim maniacs who perpetrated the attack?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Somehow I managed to live in the 3 states where shall issue has continued to remain the law of the land.

How do you feel about the gun laws in England and Wales?

I believe you mean "may issue."

Interesting. I still carry the concealed permit even though I don't have to.

I like the open carry nuts people, let them be the first targets.  ;)

Regarding the process to get a concealed permit, in some states you have to jump endless hoops, take classes in a state range and pay an arm and a leg to get one. I truly believe if a person really needs to have a conceal carry, they should jump all those hoops and get the classes etc., they are not denying their citizens their 2nd amendment rights.

In Alabama you send a one page questionnaire to to the County Sheriff office with your $20 per year (up to 5 years at a time) and it comes in the mail the next week after the extensive background check.  :lol:

Pretty sure that's never been in the September issue.
