Mr. Tolby,
Your hatred of guns and gun owners must have clouded your reading comprehension
in this case.
You wrote,
“I did not agree with his defense. The law says carrying a concealed
deadly weapon without a permit within the immediate control of any person inside
a means of transportation is a violation. Very plainly, the law says do not
have a weapon within your reach that is concealed inside a car.”
A holstered pistol is not a concealed weapon per ARS
13-3102 (F)
“. . .
Subsection A, paragraph 2 of this section shall not apply to a weapon or weapons
carried in a case, holster, scabbard, pack or luggage which is carried within
a means of transportation or within a storage compartment, trunk or glove compartment
of a means of transportation.”
Clearly, if the man’s pistol was holstered he was not committing an offense.
You dismiss the man’s argument that a holstered pistol in a vehicle is
not a concealed weapon, yet this is exactly what the law says. Regardless of
your personal opinions, aren’t you bound to uphold state law?
You wrote,
“Every study I have read says the odds are more likely that
a gun will do you or your family more harm than good.”
Then you have neglected to read very much at all about the subject. Here are
some good starting points to learn more:

You wanted me to ask myself,
“Are the odds in my favor that my gun will
solve a problem, or will it create a problem?”
Well, Mr. Tolby, I’ve
carried a gun for many years and it has never caused any problems. And I wouldn’t
be able to write you this missive if I hadn’t had it the one time I really
needed it.
