Meanwhile back at Post #29 , and G&P's observations .
I occasionally recieve mild grief for being unabashed Single Issue Voter . But as G&P points out , positions on Gun Rights are by far the best Litmus Test for small government , personal freedom, and following the Constitution .
Moderately strong correlation to also being " conservative " . But there are " pro- business neo-cons " who are anti- gun , and pro-gun libertarians .
If we were in someplace like Texas , we would have the delema of long time supporters strongly backing Shall Issue vs ideological purists favoring Con Carry . But we aren't faced with those " problems " .
As much as I don't like it in the abstract, I'd rather have a relatively easy shall-issue permit system than a concarry where liberals can whine that "unlicensed, untrained people can carry loaded guns in public." We have limited resources, and this just isn't a fight that I think is worth picking at this point.
