This somewhat disagrees with the argument of the anti gunners. Wyoming, I think, has the highest per/capital gun ownership..... yet didn’t get a “dot”! Maybe there’s a bit more respect/tolerance, when there’s a likelihood that the other party is armed! memtb


You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel

That one dot over Boise was a lady from California in the foothills who shot a coyote attacking her Shih Tzu...

I noticed that too. Other states with high per capita ownership also have fewer incidents overall.....Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Utah, SD, ND, etc.


The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.
