A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
When ask by a reporter why some of the people who were carrying guns at these public meetings one man replied because I can. Arizona is a right to carry arms as is Arkansas and I think this is as it should be but there are times I think just because you can do isn't reason to do something.
I believe that guns are a right but also I believe that we have a responsibility to keep the guns in a responsible manner.
I own a 22 rifle but it is put away out of sight and is not loaded. If I take that gun out and load it it is to kill or main some thing. If I take that gun out and start marching around with it in my yard for a extended time some one will call the cops and they should because there is a slight chance the old woman has gone around the bend.
These people going around at these town hall meeting with their guns strapped on are giving the gun control people another reason to push gun control. these men are going to wake up some day with a law saying they can't own or bear arms.
In the words of Forrest Gump, that all I am going to say about that!

another line from forrest gump "stupid is as stupid does"
I am from Kentucky so you know I feel I should have the right to have a gun but like you I keep it put away unless I think someone is trying to break in or do me harm. I do keep it loaded. I would probably never get it loaded in time if someone was after me. I know how to use it though and have always been a good shot. I don't carry it around to places I go and feel that is wrong. Great post Patsy. Don't be running around outside with it! lol. I would not want anyone to think you had lost it because you certainly have not.
maybe we will all get lucky and these people will just shoot themselves?
In the day that that was written, there was no standing army or national guard and it was up to every state and sometimes every community to keep their own militia.
In my opinion, nowadays, unless one is a hunter, no one should be keeping and carrying arms. Some people who have a hair trigger temper use that as an excuse to go on a killing rampage.
