And people say the US lacks freedom??!?!?!? Where I come from they walk
around with it on the streets, and keep coolers full in the back seat,
and drive with it between their legs.
I don't know if it's true or not, but back when I was stationed in
Alamagordo New Mexico I was told by a guy who had been in Clovis, NM it
was still considered custom to have one in your hand when you left a
bar for a shootout. Unless, I suppose, one is reloading. Or maybe if it
went empty before somebody was killed.
