Your right-to-carry vs My right to Vacate

Okay, I can’t take credit for the title of this post. It’s from this article at DailyKos by @jmbar2. I think his proposal is an excellent idea and have already emailed my Congressional representatives.

Note that I have fired several thousand rounds from pistols at a firing range in my home town. Ranging from .22 calibre to .45 magnum (albeit mostly 9mm). I’m not afraid of guns per se. I am afraid of yahoos who think a gun enhances their masculinity. A masculinity that gun fondlers worry is a bit too gay without a gun to extend their penis length.

From the article:

Every right-to-carry proposal must include a provision allowing students, workers, and business patrons to choose to leave any environment where guns are present without question or penalty.

– Students can leave any class without penalty if they feel at risk in the presence of armed persons.

– Workers can leave their workplaces with cause – example Walmart workers can immediately leave the store without penalty if an armed person enters.

– Restaurant patrons can leave in mid meal and settle the bill later.

Attach this as a rider to all right-to-carry bills. Call it “The Right to Carry- Right to Evacuate” rider.
