Am I the only person who thinks that the 2A is not an adequate concealed carry permit? That is what Ted said in his little diatribe. I suggest that using that argument could well land you in jail and indicates a lack of understanding of the law. Ted is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is a tool. Support him if you want but be aware that his brand of extremism and confrontation does more harm than good.
Diplomacy and tact have been used quite succesfully over the past 5 -10 years to pass concealed carry laws in many states and get some public support for things like castle doctrine and such, Ted seems intent on taking us back to the politics of the 1980s when the American Legion lost so much credibility by calling ATF agents "jack booted thugs".
I am fequently embrassed by comments that people like Ted make. I live in the upper middle class of business owners, doctors, lawyers and soccer moms, the people with the money and power in this country. No laws get passed in this country without the support of this demographic. So I go about my business being a responsible gun owner and quietly convince my friends that not all gun owners are from the lunatic fringe and along comes Ted and undoes all my work in one interview.
Overprotective soccer moms are self defense gun owners natural allies, people like Ted push them into the waiting arms of the million mom march people.
