You can still spray yourself with deer urine, even if you get your meat at the Lucky Mart.

True. Vermont and Alaska are "unrestricted" states. There are thirty-nine states that have "shall issue" concealed handgun permits. "Shall issue" means that if you pass the statutory requirement (be able to stand up, see lightning, and hear thunder) the state MUST issue a permit. No discretion is allowed. Nine states have discretionary licensing (California and New York, to name two). Only three states prohibit concealed carry under all conditions: Wisconsin, Illinois, and D.C.

There are about 250 CHL holders in Sacramento, where the sheriff is being investigated by the FBI for "selling" permits. If Sacramento were in Texas, the city would have about 20,000 permit holders. That's one of the differences between "shall issue" and "discretionary issue" jurisdictions.

Hmmm, think that's a different kind of newsgroup...

But, suppose if I did that it would put an end to that person next to you grabbing the item you were just about to pick up.

You might get your items free, too. There used to be a bill collection agency in the UK named "Telly's Smellies." They hired people with NO sense of smell, dressed them VERY nicely then doused them with pig vomit (or somesuch).

The bill collectors would sit patiently in the waiting rooms of deadbeats until a checkie-poo was forthcoming.
