GUNS...Where are the Roses

[John Freeman]

My son lived in Phoenix for a year and tells me that anyone can carry a gun
as long as it is not concealed.  You may also carry a weapon in the glove
box leagally.  He also stated that he never saw anyone rideing a motorcycle
without a gun,  that car jackings are so common that the news only reports
the ones with children in the car at the time.  He tells of the time when he
was managing a store, when the emergency vehicle was taking rifle fire from
afar while trying to help a seizer patient.  It is very dangerous to live in
Phoenix proper.  John Freeman
