Where did I say that anybody who carries a concealed weapon is a vigilante? No, what I am saying is that any state that allows concealed weapons is also unwittingly promoting vigilantism. Big difference.

Hardly!

How can the state promote vigilantism when its not the State (the state is not a person per se) but individuals (who are persons) who will carry a concealed weapon.

Put another way, say Malta legalizes abortion and afterwards doctors perform abortions but they aren’t abortionists?

Concealed carry weapon is very useful for women who don’t want to be raped or assaulted because the would be rapist wouldn’t know who is carrying and who isn’t.

According to some on this thread a woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet. 🤷

Ha, and that gets a hearty Amen. I find it interesting that one wants to persecute GZ and be a martyr for Jesus in the next sentence. Sounds more like do as I say not as I do.

Come, come, let us stop talking falsely.

Sooner than one would guess, actually. Where’s that zombie horse again?

That’s exactly it. The first time you did that you made a point, but after awhile it just got annoying. And what’s worse, it isn’t adding anything to the conversation. Maybe a better way to get it back on topic is to say something more relevant to the topic, instead of just parroting the title

The topic title is my point, and I think it’s worthy of discussion.
