DI2....I actually get the gist of what he is saying (and Kevin correct me if I am wrong) but most of us middle to north easterners live in or near large urban areas where guns are already enough of a problem and we (regardless of racial or social backgrounds) have no real need to perpetuate the problem BY CARRYING a gun also, which is why, IMO it's lost on me that Oklahomans have a need to carry a gun to a soccer game if it's just the norm.

I know what YOU mean DS, but his choice of words was very poor. And he is making too many assumptions out of nowhere. I don't even know how he decided that "us" northeasterners feel any sort of way when no one had actually made any substantive comments prior to his post. I posted the story, Dr. Phil said it was ironic. I'm still trying to figure out how we got to "us" northeasterners and "our" attitude about guns. I mean. at that point, what northeasterners had actually SAID anything about how they felt about guns?

I disagree.


I think that if I asked enough folks across the different strata they may also find what Oklahomans do a bit different.

This shows just how idiotic you are. This statement is nothing like what you posted.

And I don't consider NC to be a northeastern state.

But to solidify what's being said...
You wouldn't find it offensive if I said "you boys of xyz frat are really racist in your candidate selection process," right?

We're weird about exercising our Constitutional liberties 'round these parts. What can I say?

And that's why I got what you said with the 'you northeasterners' remark and when I read it happened in Lebanon PA...wweeeeeelll.

But back to the meat of the story itself.

Sad that a gun toting gun rights advocate just happened to die by her husband's gun.

What the community and family there may never find out will be how much abuse if any she suffered under her husband and why she didn't shoot him instead.

Going by what you said, carrying a gun for protection, well you almost have to figure the one she needed to be protected from the most lived under the same roof.
