Guess this won't make sense to anyone, but, why are we not allowed to travel in a car without wearing seat belts? Why can't we go out on boats without wearing life vests? Why, in most places, are we required to wear helmets when riding motorcycles, bicycles, go carts etc? Why are we urged to have working smoke alarms and fire extinguishers in our homes, and by law in our businesses? Why do we have emergency exits in public buildings, CLEARLY marked? I could go on and on but hopefully what I'm saying is clear. All that is considered common sense and a good thing. Yet IF you have/carry a gun/other weapon for protection, there is suddenly something wrong with you.
