And see this.

Yesterday, while sitting in wait for a window to open up at the Indiana State Department of Revenue, I caught site of this dude, with Harley-Davidson teeshirt, long white beard, and a large, mother-of-pearl handled “piece” hanging from a belt on the left side his waist.

Quick, I pulled out my phone and snapped a surreptitious picture (forgive my hand tremor): You get the idea.

When I told my friend Ted about it, he sent me this:

Gun Homicides in England Are About As Common as Agricultural Accidents in the U.S.

Read it. It’s enlightening.

BTW: I’m not against citizens having guns, given that if they did not, then only the state would have them. And in the U.S., that means something. Unfortunately. But I’d never seen anyone “packing,” in broad daylight. Mine has been a sheltered life.
