    I still do. Rednecks poach out-of-season-deer on my property using silencers.

    This country will never outlaw weapons and you should know that. The voices for that are scattered and few. It would take a Constitutional amendment that will never even be proposed. But NRA people have been using this irrational fear to prevent common-sense measures that could help get a handle on the gun violence that we increasingly have to deal with.

    So, I think that if we are talking about carrying a gun in a theater or restaurant I as a patron myself should be made aware of anyone who has a gun so I can choose to or not to do business at that establishment. I wouldn't bring my kid into a theater of strangers with guns nor a restaurant, or anywhere for that matter.

    I truly get your premise and while sound in theory I have to say, can you blame them? With the way our country and government has turned its really not hard to understand why it is such a hot topic.

    Would you bring a kid to a gun show? A bunch of strangers with guns there. I would and would fear less for the kids safety than in a movie.

    If you like guns you would find it interesting. Lots of stuff there. Some you can't afford and some good deal on some guns as well as ammo and even knives. There is a show next Saturday and Sunday at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales

    That's cool, I like the guns I have. 8 is enough for me.

    True rednecks don't use silencers when poaching.

    Sometimes I go even when I know I'm not going to buy anything. Just walk around and look and talk to people. Like going to a museum or an art exhibit but the people are friendlier.
