[Retired teacher turned writer in Montana has panic attack seeing someone openly carrying in the furniture department.] …How was I to know that the person carrying that gun was someone I could trust? Would he, at any moment, misread a stranger’s comment or movement, pull his gun and blast him/her away? … The absurdity of “protecting” us from some government which will take our guns away makes me question the sanity of these proponents. … Others packing guns do not make me feel safe; they make me feel as if we’re living in some kind of kill-or-be-killed, Mad Max post-apocalyptic horror film.

Better never leave the house! Sheesh!]
