Why does a dog lick its balls?  Cuz it can.
 Why do these fucking yahoos need to strap a gun on to go to Starbucks?  See first question.

Virginia has the 27th highest murder rate, Maryland is 2nd. Virginia must be doing something right.

So are you saying you support the idea of people carrying like this in public or are you just trying to stir the pot?

Yes, it's because Virginia is shaped like a ramp, while Maryland is shaped like a broken pot.

It certainly doesn't bother me. (MD resident weighing in)

Never thought about it. Certainly not against people being able to own guns, but don't know about carrying in public. Don't have any guns myself, except for my 24" biceps.

Is this supposed to be, like, a help, or something?

[chaz]

Yeah I also think responsible citizens should be allowed to own guns....but this whole packin in public thing just seems kinda disgusting to me.

Viginia's also 47th in Ricketts Prevention.

[thirsty moore]

Agreed.  
 
 On a side note, bringing a gun into starbucks is a total faux pas.  Don't they know they should pack an issue of the New York Times instead?

Funny you should mention Rickets.  This morning my wife and I took our 4 month old son to the Dr. for a checkup.  The Dr. said we should be giving him a multivitamin (some drops they sell) once a day - that all breast-fed babies should do this.  We wondered why seeing as when our 2 1/2 year old was breastfeeding they never told us to do this and Dr. said it's because Rickets are on the rise in breast-fed babies.  Something about mothers and babies not getting enough outdoor sunlight resulting in lower vitamin d intake for kids....hence RICKETS!
