I snapped a few pics of our asparagus patch. We've let half go to seed and growth for the season. I'm still snapping stalks off part of the other half. I'll be making pesto with it tonight.

bigpawbullets comments on Jul 5, 2018:

Who will define responsible? How would you determine responsibility? The term is very subjective. Here in Ohio, we used to have to complete a training course provided by a state licensed instructor. But even that approach was only an attempt to insure competency in the use of a sidearm, and knowledge of the laws and regulations concerning it's use. Then, there is the age requirement. A standard sign or measure of maturity/responsibility. I believe the premise has always been "responsible until proven irresponsible by actions". Much like "innocent until proven guilty." How do we know someone is responsible enough to drive a car?

I respect your views sir. Especially with your mentioned background. My view is different. I always carry a concealed sidearm. It's legal. I've a license here in Ohio. The vast majority of my neighbors do too. While we live in a very low crime suburb, (almost zero incidents of anything), many of us travel through less safe areas. My next door neighbor is the chief of police here. His view on this topic is that the more responsible armed citizens, the better. So, while your views are based on your experiences in law enforcement, so are his. It's an individual's perception.
