Midwest2- I know several myself (and I don’t think I know too many or too many from the same mindset- some are of different political persuasions and from different religious backgrounds) whom would ponder owning/carrying one and lament the laws. And they are all not from the Southwest either… I think you meant “southeast”- Georgian residents are more likely to carry than your average Californian.
And it is not a few- On the JPFO website alone, there have been 2,182,965 visitors in about a decade (as of my posting)… yes, that is not the same as other websites- this is to a targeted audience. The website is Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership, not Xian ect so it does turn off some people (but they do not restrict membership ect and clearly state that it is not just for Jews).
The majority of gun owners are peaceful people who just want to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Blueprint- I, for one, do not question my sanity. If you do, then it puts some of your comments into perspective.
