"Gun owners in West Virginia will no longer need to get a permit to have a concealed weapon, putting it among the most far-reaching states for gun rights. The law, which does away with the permit and training program for people 21 and older who want to carry a concealed weapon, was supported by the National Rifle Association, but opposed by law enforcement across the state". Look at the media approach> Radical? NRA-Backed? B.S. Other states already have adopted similar measures; their crime rates have dropped, as expected. Arizona has it, as does Utah. The people are speaking to their "owners"; They say "We have had enough". http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2016/03/06/3757032/wv-permit-concealed-carry/
I've always thought that if a criminal knows someone is armed, they are less likely to "try" them. I know there are HUGE differences in opinion on this issue, but I'm glad that people can still buy a gun, or have a gun of their own. If the crime rates have dropped, I'd say that's a good thing.
One feature used in my past forum's activity was much more extensive use of the profile page, outlining individuals' personal "impersonals": location, background, interests, etc. Here, it appears reluctance to do that is more prevalent? Why? Frank
