The rabid anti-gun politicians and lobbiest use silly spin to instill fear into the uneducated masses [many of whom have never been around a gun]... so we pro-gunners need to use spin too... like people needing guns to protect themselves from more than just bad people... like from mean vicious dogs roaming the streets.  If you don't use the anti-gunners tactics against them, they will end up beating you.. prime example is all the problems we have had in getting OC in Oklahoma.As far as the mean dogs roaming the streets issue goes... just last evening, my local police got another call over a pit bull. A woman had just put 2 of her kids in the car and went back in to get her baby.. when a mean pit bull came up on her porch and wouldn't let her out the door. The little kids in the car were scared and wanting to get out of the car and run back into the house to mamma and the mother was yelling for them to say in the car. She didn't have a gun to protect her kids. Thankfully, the police & animal control got there before anyone got hurt. But if the kids had gotten out of the car and run... then they and their mother could have been seriously injured or killed. That is the kind of stories that change people's minds about CC & OC... not arguing Constitutional law to people who may not even have a high school level education... despite having a high school or college diploma.</blockquote>
