It's nice to have a loaded GLOCK37 .45GAP  in between the seats just in case.  Perfectly legal here, even without a carry permit.

I think it would be an interesting experiment.   Free, unfettered access for anyone to weapons of all calibers.   No background checks or permits necessary for purchase; likewise carrying and discharging your weapon in public should be unrestricted.    They should be allowed everywhere: churches, schools, daycare centers and courtrooms.

Wonder what changes would occur in our society?   Maybe criminals would be so afraid of everyone everywhere, they would simply cease to operate, and all our cities would become quiet and peaceful.  

Or, maybe we would end up looking more like Mogadishu.

My guess is that it would be a real problem in urban areas, while not much would change in the rural areas.   It might end up showing that some level of reasonable restriction on gun ownership, transportation and use turns out to be the best course after all.

GTO, I've been wondering how people have managed to hang on to the black plates. Any ideas?

Oboe, you'd have a brief span with a high mortality rate of stupid people. Then things would be more calm.

Stupid people, police officers, children, both intentionally and accidentally.    I think the cost to society would end up being be pretty high.

But I do think you could make this change, and in a semi-rural area like Dixon, Ca, it would hardly be noticed.    But it would be chaos in the urban areas.

As far as I know in Cali as long as you do not tell the DMV the car has them you get to keep them.


If you lose one and get a fixit ticket your SOL though.

The GTO I had had a black plate, (front one missing)never got a ticket and the DMV never asked about the plates when I registered.

I think it's cool to see black plates. I've heard people brag about them and wondered if they'd really have any effect on the vehicle value or if it's just bragging rights.

I think back when Tx did the 150 aniversary plates you were required to update, but that was long ago and far far away when I was too busy chasing teenage girls to pay attention to such things.

I don't think police would become targets. Aside from body armor, anyone dumb enough to take a shot at a cop would have done it in the first place.

Intentionally shooting kids? Well, I guess that'd put us one up on the Brit's "no spanking" rules and give an entirely new definition to Ward being a bit "Hard on the Beaver."

To work, it would have to be a unilateral thing. If you allowed it in some areas and not others, it's no different than current laws.

... and knowing Lazs, not just any coffee.

A venti mocha double Capuccino, triple hazelnut, whipped chives  with a dash of paprika, to be precise.
