A thief who robs a house doesn't get any lesser a sentence if the front door was unlocked versus locked and bolted. The fact it's ridiculously easy there to beat their puny security shouldn't make any ultimate difference.
Carrying concealed is ridiculous. The point of having a gun, if you aren't a criminal, is to defend yourself. I think having a firearm hanging (securely) at your side and having the criminal not even try anything is better than hoping to surprise and shoot them during a crime.
I guess if you're some kind of cowboy who's hoping for a shootout, your view would be different though.
Bill Gates did the same thing once. The guy was found dead, strangled with his own Ethernet cable.
I TOLD Uncle Chuck to get wireless, but would he listen...? Now it's too late...
I myself wanted to make a Doom 2 map of my high school back in the day. The thought doing so now is considered "terrorism" is beyond ludicrous! Plus the fact the most dangerous weapon their search turned up was a hammer and they still consider him a credible threat...?
Unless he's some sort of ninja, I wouldn't feel too threatened.
I don't know anymore. We're so afraid of our kids that we too often treat them guilty until proven innocent in regards to things of this nature. School shootings are bad, are awful, but we needs to put most of our effort into figuring out why as many occur as do, not overreacting to every even minutely-preceived "threat". School already can feel a lot like a prison and making it more so won't help. Quite the opposite I'm sure.
Oh, and I did make a Doom 2 map of my parent's house when I was 17. And surprise surprise, I didn't shoot anyone there.

After being informed of this, President Bush was quoted as saying, "Can we get ourselves a bomb to do that?"
I agree. Though I don't think CGI would be a horrible idea, hand-drawn would definitely be better.
The guys who came up with outsourcing? I hope their jobs were outsourced.
Thus passes a true hero.
Exactly! Oh wait, those are kind of important, aren't they...?
Maybe cowboy was the wrong description... How about Secret Agent? =)

Next to be patented will be the GOTO statement, so ALL YOU LAZY PROGGERS WILL STOP USING IT!

I've been waiting for a return poke for over a month!

But everyone knows having a Windows OS teaches a child invaluable lessons in stress management!
U.S. Commando: I see soon-to-be dead people!
Well... 48 if you count the one with the tentacle monster that attacked Mary Jane in the shower... oh wait, sorry, that was fan-fiction...

Must have been a fluke.
