I am torn on this one.
On one hand, every criminal who hasn't yet been caught can now carry a weapon. But if it is cold outside, now I can have a gun close at hand without having to wear it outside of my overcoat, if I feel the need to have it. But I really do not feel the need.
Here it is common to see a man with a gun on the street. On Whiskey Row it is normal for a guy to give his gun to the bartender before ordering a drink. It is the law.
For several months, I have been working with a guy who has a small Glock in his back pocket most of the time. I don't give it a second's thought. It is not an issue. If he wants to have a gun, it is not my problem. If it makes him feel better, more power to him.
I just wonder about the real need. In my neighborhood, I can let truckloads of power tools sit outside for days, and nobody steals them. It's not like it was in Mesa, where I couldn't leave the garage door open long enough to take a leak without being stolen blind.
In the city, I can maybe see the need to be armed. But here?
Maybe the reason that I don't feel the need to be armed here is that most people really are. We don't take any BS here. The Prescott area has one of the highest per capita rates of concealed-carry permits in the nation. If you sit at a bar here, chances are that the guy three stools down is armed. It is best that you do not screw around. While we have our share of drug crimes, our violent crime rate here is understandably very low. We encourage citizens to carry weapons. A lot of crimes are prevented. We like it that way.

So what your trying to say (again, just a different thread) is that Prescott is awesome?:flipoff2:
 
forgot where I was at but once went to a drive inn liquor /gun/ porn shop never even had to get out of the car.What a country no wonder so many people try to get here.
 
No;
Prescott is not so awesome. We do have our own set of problems, just like anywhere.
It is just a different environment.
Nobody here is able to shoot up a Denny's, just because he would get himself shot dead in a heartbeat, before he had a chance to hurt anybody.
I know this from personal experience. We don't do any of that BS.
I work with a guy who has a concealed-carry permit. I rarely give it a thought. But every once in a while, I realize that he has a little Glock 9mm in his back pocket. It's comforting.
Prescott is one of the most weapons-liberal towns in Arizona.
In most of the old saloons on Whiskey Row, you have to declare your weapon on entry. You are OK if you let the bartender know that you are armed. It is ok as long as the bartender knows who is carrying. Any sherrif's deputy has the right to require any armed citizen to help to settle any argument. The bartender knows who is carrying. If there is a dispute, every armed citizen is required to help to ensure that it is settled elsewhere. I rarely feel as secure as when I am surrounded by law-abiding citzens carrying guns. That is every day in downtown Prescott. I like it that way.

When you go to Whiskey row, I would suggest that you go to the Palace Saloon on Sunday afternoon between 2 and 4 in the afternoon. Jerry plays the old piano in an expert manner. It is like going back 100 years in a time machine. You can be surrounded by men carrying guns and eating buffalo while listening to music. Just like it was 100 years ago.

Dude, what the hell are you trying to say? It is so conflicting, must be the water ya'll drink up der in holyland. First you say you must give the bartender your gun before ordering a drink, its the law. Then you say its alright to carry as long as you declare it to the bartender. Then to top it off, you mention that if you're sitting at a bar, chances are the guy three stools down is armed. So the guy 3 stools down must be confused too, he doesnt know whether to declare it, give it to the bartender, or do nothing at all about it. Ive been to Whiskey Row plenty of times, its not like a Clint Eastwood film like you say it is. I guess next time I go there I should dress up like a cowboy, tie up my horse out front, kick in the double swing saloon door with my spurred cowboy boot, then pull out my 6 shooter and fire off a round into the ceiling to let them know im there, mosy up to the bar, spit my chew on the floor or the dog laying there, order up a shot of whiskey, play some poker, get in a fist fight and then take a whore upstairs, and then finally relax in a bathtub with nothing on but my boots and a cigar hanging out of my mouth. THEN would I fit into your wild west town?

Sounds like a mix between Tombstone and Maverick! Both good movies BTW!

Earp, Clanson and the gang would watch you push open the swinging doors, only to see you get into a a panty wagon, the wild west music would stop and the roar of laughter would drown out the clickity clack, of the horses strutting down whiskey row.:flipoff2:
