    Wondering what percentage of DFWMiata folks have guns.

    Assume 100% and approach them appropriately. An armed society is a polite society.

    Can we lock this now? I think that is none of your business, and you don't need to know what color drawers I'm wearing either.

    Calm down... I didn't make it public.

    The question stems from a post on the pointy board by a Canadian asking why all Americans own guns. I commented that it is a not all of America... it is very geographic. In 31 years in California, I could count on one hand how many people I knew that owned guns. Here, I would guess that at least 25% of Miata owners have guns, but after I posted that, I figured I should get a realistic count and not just assume.

    13 to 6 so far. At first glance Miata drivers are gun lovers but remember we are in Texas.

    I'd think a national poll would show certain geographical areas have higher or lower gun ownership.
    ...and across the line.
