They also have the most felons with weapons who use them for protection from animals and other elements.

Seven ways states have loosened their gun laws (http://www.propublica.org/article/seven-of-the-most-striking-ways-states-have-loosened-gun-laws) 

And what do you know?  None of the states listed are high-crime states.  They act like Montana is nuts for allowing 14 year olds to legally purchase rifles, or that Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee and Alaska; who have passed legislation stating that guns made and sold in-state aren't subject to federal regulation are just insane--but I notice they don't want to talk about South Dakota's violent crime rate.  When was the last time Idaho made headlines for a school shooting?

I love watching the assorted "Alaska" cop, animal shows etc... and the people get pulled over and (LEGALLY!) Have these fricken huge hand cannons with them and as long as they did nothing wrong are free to go.... sweet!

Legal, law abiding CCW... We can only dream.... and try! :thumbsup:
