It may not have been realistic, as you point out, but that is they way it has been in our country--until last week." I kinda, somehow know what you mean, Dianne. But I'm sorry, I don't really feel that way at all. I refuse to live in fear; I go about my daily life the same way that I have for the past ten years, not looking for trouble, and not finding any either. I don't go into places like dark alleys, or bad parts of the city either, but if I had to, I wouldn't worry too much. You see, I live in a State were the Government has allowed me to carry a gun in my vehicle, and on my person. In the ten years that I've had that right, I've never allowed anyone ( other than a law enforcement officer who pulled me over for a minor infraction, and then only out of courtesy) to know that. That means that I've never abused the right, or the responsibility that goes with it. The most realistic scenario for me today, is that I may have to stop a "hate-crime" from being committed. Gee, I guess we're not all a bunch of Neanderthals after all.... Sorry Gang, but that's just the way it is in the real world. Flame suit isn't needed in this case; I'm right. Period.
