New Reuters Poll

[Glock30]

Ran across this. No big surprises. Food for thought.

"62% oppose carrying a weapon into a church, workplace or a retail establish." That's a wierd combination to me.

And "Majorities support concealed carry laws and allowing the use of deadly force, both in homes and public places."

And this one is interesting, "As a consequence, large majorities believe regular people need to step up to prevent crimes (leading to the Trayvon Martin incident)."

"As comparison points, we also asked about the NAACP, ACLU and AARP. AARP has the strongest favorability rates of the four organizations. Favorability towards the ACLU and NAACP are both strongly influenced by partisan ID." Good for them,

although I'm not sure what that really means.

Indeed. How can regular folks step up, as the majority would advocate, without carrying everywhere?

Well, you can assume that Reuter's selected their sample demographic as narrowly as possible to support their position. Given that, I would say this is great news for the 2nd Amendment.
