[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 519049, member: 21891"] Sober - I enjoy your posts - they are intelligent, thought provoking, and add value to the site. It is difficult for me to believe you did not understand what I wrote, so let me try again, in more detail- Anyone going to work as a driver at UPS that is carrying a handgun while on the job is a catastrophe waiting to happen. I believe that strongly. I dare say the problem with most people either wishing to carry or who do carry a handgun is the concept of progression - a handgun should leave its' holster only if someone will die / be extremely hurt if it is not. The problem, and I would say the majority of the time, is that handgun owners pull their gun out when they see people on the street, 20 feet away, that they don't like the looks of. A good example is when I was back in High school. Fistfights. You had a beef, you beat each other up, one person won. Now adays people just point & shoot. Read some of the posts in this thread. If they are not being sarcastic (and I hope they are) then some gun owner wannabes ARE fruitloops. They hurt the cause by being themselves. I challenge anyone to even MAKE UP a scenario where a handgun is needed while driving a package car, let alone cite a real example. And by the way, I have had a carry permit for 9 years - newest piece is a G36 [/QUOTE]
