I just figured that I would put my "two cents" in on Gun Issues across America. I'm not real sure what gun issues that are floating around out there. My opinion is that Americans (except Police and such) should not be allowed to carry a concealed weapon in public. I'm sorry, but you aren't going to be robbed every day of your life.(and to those of you on here, I hope none of you never do get robbed) What I mean by this is that some people may take advantage of carrying a concealed weapon in public. But, because you "don't want to be robbed" is a lame excuse. Now, don't get me wrong, some people may feel that they need the weapon in public for their own personal reasons.
The bottom line is that carrying a concealed weapon in public is not right. It isn't in the interest of the whole American population for those who have weapons to carry them in public. If anyone has any information about issues involving concealed weapons in public, please provide me with the information. Just a reminder to you folks that read this blog post--I'm not very educated on this topic. I only gave my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. Thank you for your time.

The pro-gun candidates like Mike Huckabee & his violence-loving buddy Chuck Norris show us where their priorities are: screw sick kids....get a gun!
It's a goofy day down at the ranch - you know - the good ol' U.S.

Video: Church Cancels Gun Giveaway
Church Cancels Teen Gun Giveaway
POSTED: 10:38 pm CDT July 11, 2008
UPDATED: 8:56 am CDT July 12, 2008
OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma church canceled a controversial gun giveaway for teenagers at a weekend youth conference.
Windsor Hills Baptist had planned to give away a semiautomatic assault rifle until one of the event's organizers was unable to attend.
The church’s youth pastor, Bob Ross, said it’s a way of trying to encourage young people to attend the event. The church expected hundreds of teenagers from as far away as Canada.
“We have 21 hours of preaching and teaching throughout the week,” Ross said.
A video on the church Web site shows the shooting competition from last year’s conference. A gun giveaway was part of the event last year. This year, organizers included it in their marketing.
“I don’t want people thinking ‘My goodness, we’re putting a weapon in the hand of somebody that doesn’t respect it who are then going to go out and kill,'” said Ross. “That’s not at all what we’re trying to do.”
Ross said the conference isn’t all about guns, but rather about teens finding faith.
“You make a lot of new friends down here,” said Vikki Goncharenko, who attended the conference. “You get to meet new people. There's a bunch of things that are going on. It's just, you have a wonderful time.”
Friday evening, Ross said the gun giveaway had been canceled. Pastor emeritus Jim Vineyard, who ran the event, injured his foot and wouldn’t be able to attend. The gun giveaway was also removed from the church Web site.
Ross said the church would give the gun away next year instead. He said the church spent $800 buying the gun for the promotion.
