XCR, great posts.

We agree on many things I think. I too am far more concerned about the health and wellbeing of our fellow citizens. And to be honest my volunteer efforts revolve around the basic needs of people. I am not, and would not, volunteer my time on any sort of gun control debate or efforts.

I just like talking about it on a forum, takes very little time and no effort!

"Guns inflict WAY more harm to others"

I've never seen this happen.

Now if you introduce mentally unstable, drugged or intoxicated people into the equation...............yup!,

All of which are woefully under addressed. We can and must do better. We waste so much money and time on stupid things and put so little into critical matters, makes you wonder how we manage to get anything meaningful done...

Unfortunately, with 400MM or so guns in the US--plenty of unstable, drugged, or intoxicated people have access to them. As do children, teenage gang members, and criminals.

WRT paddle boards--the children and the can be a problem, not so much the other categories...

Just for the record, private property and public property are not comparable.

I am quite sure the local Market Basket would not be openly happy about someone carrying a paddle board around the establishment... maybe even more so than the firearm.

And MB would be even less happy with someone carrying a concealed paddle board.

I think the patron would be even less happy.
I can't imagine that would be too comfortable.
