Let's not be real quick to use a broad brush here. There are a number of states where that IS a law, and violating it can get you a fine, jail time, and loss of CCW license.A sign in a business window saying "no guns" is not a law--it's a policy of that business.
I think that sort of misses the point. Just because it is not known/discovered doesn't make it right. I don't know if my neighbor is stealing cable TV. But if he is, it is wrong and should not be condoned.My point with CC is that if you carry in such a manner that no one is ever the wiser, what someone doesn't know isn't going to bother them.

LOL! I agree, sometimes I think most of the forums on the 'net should have a mandatory "WARNING: this is the internet, not real life. Use this information at your own risk!"He knows this. He read it in a forum.

What if a gang attacked me?
For the life of me, I can't see where njtrigger singled out bikers, Tourist. In fact, I rarely hear of bikers being referred to as a gang. I think he's referring more to true gangs like MS-13, Crips, Bloods, etc.

As for my upbringing, I always know which fork to use.
