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.
