If I carried a handgun in an exposed holster along most any street in my town, it probably wouldn't cause any concern among the population, but if I did so near a school, I'd get arrested so fast it would make your head spin. In reality, no regular citizen can possess a firearm within 500 feet of a school in Maine.
Recently, a man parked his car across the street from a school, probably after going hunting, but had a long gun laying exposed. He was arrested then released, but that shows the power of parents and school officials when it comes to firearms.
The bigger problem with parents and firearms in this country is that 50% of people become divorced and lots of women don't remarry. That means a lot of kids aren't exposed to the hunting/shooting sports. How many single moms out there would vote to ban handgun ownership today? Probably too many!!!
