That could mean that they also understand they're too dangerous to allow in schools, churches and bars but since that doesn't affect them so personally they really don't give a fuck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-34562519718264929252014-05-21T00:51:26.333+02:002014-05-21T00:51:26.333+02:00I think ssgmark agrees with Mike that State Capita...I think ssgmark agrees with Mike that State Capitals and all other government buildings along with all public areas should be right to carry locations.

The laws that allow firearms in legislative chambers that they refer to are laws that allow citizens to carry in the chambers. The hypocrisy the article speaks of is the states that allow permitted carry in other places, but not in legislative chambers. <br /> I'm suggesting that it would be great to eliminate the hypocrisy by allowing permitted carry in all legislatures.ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-61361204755074065002014-05-20T19:21:44.734+02:002014-05-20T19:21:44.734+02:00Why would you support legislators exempting themse...Why would you support legislators exempting themselves from the laws they pass for the rest of society?
