They are a small, concealable and deadly tool, perfect for crime and intimidation. I especially don't see why anyone would ever need to carry a concealed weapon. It seems like its just asking for trouble. If you want to carry a gun I would rather you had a big rifle strapped to your back because at least then I know you are crazy enough to go around with a gun on you.
well put. carrying a handgun for any reason whatsoever is akin to carrying around a poison that is designed to kill humans. if you believe in this sort of "right" you believe in murder. it's not like we're in the arctic carrying a .22 so you can defend yourself against a polar bear attack...come on.
EDIT: back to bikes: does anyone know where i can buy SOMA stuff in town? i'd like to get a pair of their doube toe clips but my LBS can't order them. keith?
