I got to talking to a young woman working in WalMart, originally from Harlem. She wants to go back, so I listed all the ways in which NC is better, including firearm availability. She doesn't like guns, she said, she's afraid she'd be tempted to use one inappropriately, because, "I know me", she said.
'Nuff said, I thought. But it's people like her who project their crap onto people like us.
