Virginia: The "Bring Your Guns, We're Going Out Drinking" State!

In just a few months it'll be legal to carry a concealed weapon into restaurants and bars in Virginia. (We're gonna need a new state motto!) I can't tell you how dumb this is, but I'll try!

First off, let me say this - People that carry guns in public (hidden or not) are either weak little cowards, or police officers. That's it. There is no such thing as an "upstanding citizen with a gun". Now that that's out of the way...

Carrying a gun, by it's very nature, is an act of fear. You're afraid of the guy in the bar that's twice your size because you know you're weak. So you get a gun to take away that fear... BECAUSE NOW YOU HAVE A GUN! And without that fear that kept your head in check, you're disproportionately braver (than you naturally should be) so you're far less likely to walk away from a situation that you rationally should.

And that's when people get shot. You may be lucky. You might be the one doing the shooting. Then again, the other guy might have a concealed gun too. How would you know? IT'S FUCKING CONCEALED! So now you go for your gun, he goes for his... and the guy with the fastest draw wins. They also get to live.

Does that sound familiar? Of course it does. But the "Wild West/Gunslinger society" doesn't exist anymore... because it wasn't an ideal lifestyle. It fucking sucked!
