You make guns accessible anywhere and kids will start carrying them, permit or not. The old folks on Aricept will want to "be young" so they'll start packing. The right wingers will start carrying another one, and pretty soon everyone will want a gun or two.

We need to treat guns in public like cigarettes and cigars.
