Well okay, that’s a perfectly valid opinion but it’s not the one you originally stated, even if you didn’t mean to. They’re both valid opinions actually, it’s just that the distinction between the two is important because we’re dealing with the law, where details matter.

Speaking of which, I must re-emphasize, “they get a pass” really depends on the state and city, but even in the most permissive jurisdictions there’s still limits on who can carry or concealed carry and where.
