I live in Arizona. I am about to go to the supermarket. I will make sure I have my wallet, credit card and of course my .380 (with laser sighting).
I wouldn't consider leaving the house without a firearm, because so many of my fellow Arizonans insist that it is unsafe and everyone should be heavily armed at all times.
I have to be very careful to put the firearms away whenever the grandkids come over an live in fear that someday I might forget.
I think that it is perfectly reasonable for a person to have the right to own a pistol to protect their home, but that does not translate into the rabid and irrational paranoia of the RKBA crowd and I am very discoraged to see it front paged here on dKos.
My "right" to carry a Glock into Safeway is evidently the greatest oppression in Arizona, if you listen to the NRA crowd.
They are offended by people who want to boycott AZ because of their racist SB1070, but they organize boycotts of Pizza restaurants and Starbucks who have "no guns" signs and think that everyone should enjoy the freedom of bringing their kids to places of fine dining with heavily armed companions.

Again, I think that any reasonable person should have the "right" to won a firearm for personal protection - but the idea that it is a "Constitutional right" if equal importance to the right of free speech or religion is just nonsense - and nonsense that is very well funded by the NRA and is definitely NOT progressive.
