Just showing creepy folk that the gun is on me, particularly when I hike alone, makes me feel safer.

Perhaps this is a bad thing, but the amendment is being interpreted correctly as per the framer's intent. The grammar is very clear. What tends to be lost in this debate is that some people do need guns. Not everyone lives in a city or suburb. Some people need to protect themselves or their property from natural predators.

Now if you are talking about the interpretation that this means "any gun control measure is unconstitutional," then you have a point.

A book store in a mall keeps people calm. Take the books away and you are left with Real Housewives type trash all over the place

The woman was the owner of Headline Salon at U Village, and she apparently found out she had cancer and shot herself. Not an accident.

No more snarky bs, ok? This is actually very sad and I hope she's ok.

I don't think you know what "suicide" means. Maybe you should look it up.

"I know a lot of people think that owning a gun will make them safer, but having access to one is the number one risk factor for being a victim of one."

Then maybe you should get some of those people to post here because no one else seems to be claiming that. Can you do that?

Today, just shortly after 12:00 noon officers responded to the University Village Mall on a report that a woman had shot herself. Officers arrived on scene and found a 60-year-old female in an office inside the salon. The woman had a self inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
According to the witnesses, the victim was in her office by herself with the door closed. Witnesses heard what sounded like a gunshot, and located the victim slumped over in her chair and bleeding from her chest and mouth.

So she managed the salon, and knew that the retail complex was a low-crime area, and if she was alone she was not defending herself from anyone nor shooting other people in the salon because of a divorce trial. Possible suicide attempt?

we should have traffic pole registration to prevent this. Or cars... or teenagers..

Wait which inanimate objects are we blaming today?
