Re: sheeple

The "different opinion" that usually gets the appellation applied to me is that there is no good reason for J. Average Citizen to walk around packing in public, and a number of VERY good reasons for them not to. (Just to posit one likely scenario: J. Gunslinger comes across a crime in progress and shoots the mugger/rapist/whatever. Then the cops come around the corner, drawn by the sound of gunfire. What do they see? Someone down, and a man with a gun in his hand. What are they going to think is happening?) But apparently anyone who doesn't toe the right ideological line about public carry is "sheeple".

If you've ever used the term in that kind of context, then I'm talking about YOU.
