I just HOPE these laws spread all across the Country like WILD FIRE out of control because this is truly our right to act in self-defense anywhere we travel across OUR COUNTRY and NOT :fu: HOW THE GOVERNMENT CONTROLS LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNERS as to ā€œhow, when, whereā€ WE THE PEOPLE can AND cannot carry OUR SELF-DEFENSE TOOLS "PERIOD!!!
