1. Guns have become a viable option

and guaranteed win in any situation. In a parking lot, a stranger was telling my friend and me how an elderly couple bumped his car in the parking lot. The stranger said if he had his gun, he would have shot them. Who knows if he really would have but he revealed his thinking about guns. A man in the neighborhood takes a couple walks a day and he always carries a gun - rural and coastline area. Guns are front and center on some peoples' minds.
