With drivers licensing and laws (and training) there sure are a lot of accidents and deaths.
I hate to burst that bubble but, a PERFECT example of the government botching the drivers license issue is where I live. A license is required by state law to operate a motor vehicle (they also sign up every yahoo to vote without proof of citizenship) yet every year we see in the news that someone has killed someone else (or a group of folks) by driving up the wrong way on the highway...with a suspended license, drunk and on drugs, with no insurance.
Si', no habla nada, Dude.
When I first moved to Texas the day I moved to Texas matter a fact. I got pulled over about 45 minutes away from my new home actually. I was carrying my XD-M .45 open on my hip. The officer freaked out on me. He said and I quote “Here in Texas we much prefer the element of surprise”. I went into a military surplus store a couple days later to find a drop holster and was told the same thing. Totally blew my mind especially coming from a state like Arizona. Personally tho I can’t wait to become Constitutional Carry. I’m actually on the “Battle Group” calling and emailing leaders here to convince them to vote and sign the bill.
Texas on Verge of Becoming 21st Constitutional Carry State
The Texas Senate followed the Texas House's lead and passed legislation to abolish the state's concealed permit requirement this week.www.breitbart.com
There was once a time where if a person was caught carrying a handgun under cover, he was thought immediately to be up to no good because only the Bad Guys did that.
As the times changed and the Yankee carpet baggers made their way across the fruited plain, it became uncomfortable for the creeps to be around so many openly armed, law-abiding citizens. They were now accused of “spoiling for a fight” and cajoled into believing the police would protect them and there was “no need” for the personal ownership of firearms. Slowly laws changed to prevent citizens from openly carrying their arms. Of course, laws were also passed to prevent citizens from carrying their arms concealed too!
Now, the criminals (those previously named carpet baggers) were free to predate on normal citizens at their leisure without fear of being shot.
It would appear that after a hundred years or more of this nonsense, we are slowly returning to our senses and once again allowing the law-abiding to protect their own loved-ones, property, and lives without getting permission from a non-existent law enforcement agency.
You will note: There have been no on-going riots in Texas where citizens are being threatened by BLM terrorists with guns.
Do ya have to ask why?
"It's also worth noting that driving is a privilege not a right."
In Missouri the places you can't carry are the same as the places you can't carry even with a CCW. The difference is whether or not they can charge you with a misdemeanor for it. Pretty much places like sports stadiums, bars, etc. Which I never go to.
A fellow on YouTube that I regularly watch always says, "Don't do stupid stuff with stupid people in stupid places at stupid times."
Has been my rule of thumb for many years. Works to a point? But, as more crap happens and more time goes on, it may be getting more difficult? Possibly why so many cartoon sections in newspapers are gone? Not much beats real life sometimes?
Absolutely.
I used to have conversations with an engineer I once worked with and he used to ask the chicken/egg question until I found the answer. It is the critter that laid the egg.
That question implies some kind of natural evolution in play.
I never tried to edit God from the process. Without that spark of creativity, we would all be comic dust.
