"I know a lot of us like to customize our guns. I havent bought a gun I didnt add something to. And if I did buy one and leave it stock, the odds are that gun wont last long. I know Ill keep it if I do something to it to make it mine. It just gives me that personal touch that says 'This is mine, I made it so.' But its possible to take that too far. Some things you might do in the name of convenience can actually end up doing more harm than good. Now the race gun in the video obviously isn't going to get picked as an every day carry weapon by very many people unless they live in a steel target shoot house but even some of the small things you do to a gun can ruin an otherwise functional workhorse." ...

"Concealed carry is a good idea, and so is reciprocity when states enact it voluntarily but this is a bad idea, as it goes beyond the proper functions of the federal government. The stated constitutional justifications for the law are to protect the Second Amendment (as applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment), to protect the right of interstate travel, and to protect interstate commerce, but none is even slightly convincing." ...
