Another self-proclaimed responsible (vigilante) gun owner

3. The editorial this nutcase wrote gives great insight into the gun psychosis.

I think the best part is this...

have spent time overseas carrying firearms every day, but when I come home, it’s as if I’m suddenly no longer qualified to use the very tools I’ve been using in a combat zone.

Umm, yeah, because a *grocery store* is not a *combat zone*. People will also look at you funny if you drive around in a tank.

Then there's the paranoia.

The cold had numbed my arms and severely restricted the movement of my hands and fingers. If I had needed to draw my weapon in the Pick ’N Save parking lot, I would have been unsuccessful.

Of course. Nothing worse than the feeling that it might take 2 seconds instead of a half second to kill another human being that you run into at the grocery store.

And finally, the victimization. He was asked to leave a private establishment because he was making others uncomfortable, and somehow this is a "rights violation". Never mind the rights of the store owner to not have some yahoo walking around with a prominently displayed loaded gun, or the rights of the other customers to go shopping without feeling threatened.
