The town is Kennesaw, Ga, about 30 miles north of Atlanta. The law was put in place in response to a banning of firearms in a town in Illinois. My understanding is that crime is virtually non-existent in Kennesaw. As to the reference about Switzerland, it's national policy states that all males over 18 must serve in the military and that once, discharged, must be in the reserves (which requires keeping a service weapon). As a result, virtually every home in Switzerland has a trained, armed person and for some reason, crime doesn't seem to be a problem. Good luck on your paper and out of curiousity, what's your stance on gun control, pro or con?
