The Concealed-Carry Fantasy

13. What a load of crap ol' "GGJohn" is spreading

First, before you start in on me as a "gun grabber," you need to know:
-- I own and use guns. Lots of guns. Two gun safes full.
-- I hunt and shoot competitively.
-- I have carry permits from four states.
-- ALL my guns stay locked in the safes, with trigger locks, and the ammo is locked separately.
-- I'm a retired Army infantry officer who has forgotten more about guns than you'll ever know. The last time I carried a firearm was as an airborne brigade commander in Desert Storm where I was in the company of about 3,500 young lads, all of whom were packing lots of heat.

Second, you need to know that, NO, SCOTUS did not say any such thing. You gunnuts like to cite Heller v. DC as saying you have an individual right to carry all the firearms you want, anywhere you want. Not true. None other than Justice Scalia wrote, in Heller v. DC, that nothing in this decision should be interpreted to mean that local governments do not have the right to limit the sale, possession, and use of firearms -- Scalia's opinion recognizes and gives full force to that "well-regulated" part of the 2A that you gunnuts like to ignore.
