Here’s one I run past the “Nervous Nellies” as often as it seems appropriate.
You’re downtown seated on a bus bench. Next to you is a mounted police officer on horseback. On his duty belt are a loaded Glock 19 and two loaded spare magazines. Does his presence make you nervous? Should it?
Same setting. Same bus bench. This time a man in a suit is on the bench with you. Somewhere on his person are a loaded Glock 19 and two loaded spare magazines. in his wallet is a Concealed Carry License issued by the State government after an FBI background check. Does his presence make you nervous? Should it?
Again, same setting and same bus bench. This time the person on the bench with you is a oddly dressed but clean man who seems tense. In his waste band are a Glock 19 and two loaded magazines that he removed from the body of a Highway Patrol trooper he murdered earlier in the day after escaping from the state prison where he was doing 2o to Life. Does his presence make you nervous? Should it?
Three similar but also radically different scenarios in which your “company” and your reaction are different, or should be, but the gun is always the same.
More to the point dcreport should publish an oped by John Lott that outlines how the INFRINGEMENT of the Second Amendment in restricted venues has deleterious effects on pubic safety. School property is the obvious place to start, and there are many, many others.

It isn’t about the gun!
