You have to be especially dumb to drive around with a plainly visible gun in California. It's just asking for trouble, even if you are transporting within the law.
We seem to be good at drafting these geniuses, though. Clark and McDowell seem like class A idiots.
Clark got us a lot of sacks, and IIRC, a couple of 1st round picks. JS was smart to trade him.
I thought the McDowell pick was risky, but Michigan State hid his issues really well. I believe their head coach got in trouble for all kinds of team violations. I feel bad for McDowell.
As far as UZIs go, if you've got more than one assailant, you will need a lot of bullets. Especially since criminals are using bullet proof vests now.
I have a glock in case multiple criminals try to break in the house late at night, but I prefer revolvers because if things go down fast, you just grab and squeeze the trigger. My guns NEVER have a round in the chamber, which includes my Glock.
A few years ago 4 or 5 criminals were at a guy's front door, and one yelled "Police, we're coming in!" and was laughing as they busted down his door. But the homeowner wasn't fooled. He killed several of them...and they all had guns.
The thing that annoys me about guns, are people who think and act like having a gun makes them someone. It usually does, makes them an idiot. Most of those people end up shooting themselves or a friend or family member. That, and loaded guns with a round in the chamber (ala Earl Thomas) that, and unsecured guns. Guns must ALWAYS be secured!
I'm a member of the NRA, but I also think that people need to pass a test and have a training certificate before they can purchase a gun. I would have zero issues going through a class, I already have gone through Concealed Carry class. I learned a few things in that class and it was really intense. 3 each 10 hour days plus shooting for accuracy. If you couldn't hit the target, no license for you!
Training of gun owners would protect me from inexperienced gun owners. I can't tell you how many times a client has accidentally fired their gun, at least one did it inside camp.
