Since we've been on a "Bill of Rights" kick lately, I figured I'd go in logical sequence for my next post. I will keep this short and sweet. The Arizona state legislature just passed a bill that does away with the need for a concealed carry permit to conceal a handgun on your person in Arizona. Arizona is now the third state in the union to enact such legislation.
Some would argue that gun incidences will go through the roof as inexperience and the public meet trembling fingers. Others argue why the criminals were the only ones who could previously conceal weapons without a permit.
Some argue that the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution is their conceal carry permit. Others argue that the second amendment is outdated and only applies to olden days and/or hunters.
What does the second amendment mean to you? And do you feel safer in Arizona where everyone can carry without a permit, or in Illinois where you can't have a gun at all, or in another state where the law is somewhere in the middle?

I think I'll feel a bit uneasy knowing that just anyone can carry a gun now. BUT 'bad guys' have been concealing weapons all this time. Now 'good guys' will be concealing them, too. Here's hoping to a bunch of good guys whipping out guns on a bad guy!
