If that law was enacted here, I'd move in a heartbeat. I'd not be willing to my daughter, wife, or myself get shot because one of us says something to set off a lunatic with a gun.
Nope, completely serious. The thing is, those who want to carry guns in a nefarious manner are already carrying ...law breakers, intuitively, don't follow laws. Amusingly, back when this state passed permitted concealed carry about 15 years ago, many made the same argument you're implicating; in reality what happened - and what will happen again - was people got their permits and carried for a week or so until the novelty wore off. I'm not sure if you've ever packed heat before (that's rhetorical) but it's actually an expensive hassle.
As a cyclist loose dogs scare me an order of magnitude more than guns, but that's just me I suppose. I feel sorry for those who live in and make decisions based on fear.
