Well, I suppose that warrants the desire to always carry a gun.  Just don't hand it to random people, I guess. 

Too bad after all the shitty things you've been through, you still turned out to be a back stabbing dick.  :)

I know, it's easy to second guess what happened based on a news article or 2 and no other knowledge of the situation.  It's more complicated than they make it look.

The ultimate protection is just chain your nagging wife to the room you keep your collection in......if someone can take that abuse......They can have it!

Spoken like a good gun control puppet.  Some people live in a wonderful bubble where crime doesn't exist and violence solves nothing.  Reality shows differently.

Ever been the  victim of a violent  crime  Zeta?  Ever had [your] gun to your head?  Ever been shot at [with your own gun]?  Have you ever watched someone you love take several bullets [from their gun] and fight for their life just to breath another breath?   Of course you haven't,  if  you  had you would understand why some of us carry guns daily but one day it may happen, and if that day comes,  you'll  be a gun owner too.  Until then,  enjoy your bubble.

Fixed.

Actually it isn't fixed. The gun to your head thing was a totally seperate incident back in high school, not the one in the articles. I wasn't shot at with my own gun, my mother was.  The rest is correct.  :wink:

Either way, sounds like a compelling argument for pepper spray.

Guys, lets not argue gun control here.  Neither side of the topic is 100% right.  Frankly guns are a hobby like any other and no one has the right to tell someone they cant own something.  You can argue the same with cars and bikes that go over 200MPH.  Lets just call it a stalemate and go back to doing whatever you homo's do.

When it comes to owning guns, vestcoat is clearly an idiot.

Roy - let me know if guns EVER work out for ya.
tggodfrey - I'm not arguing about gun control. I'm not a gun fan, but I absolutely support our right to own guns. My beef is with the terrified people clinging to guns for "protection." There's nothing safe about guns and they increase your chances of getting shot.

Sure, the guy who was trying to kill us, and had just murdered a guy and raped and tried to kill his wife, was scared away by a wonderful person with what item? A gun. If they didn't stop to help and pull a gun on the guy, my mother and I would be dead.

One more to add to that.  The wonderful guy who tried to kill us was sent to prison. While in prison he was being transported to a Dr's appointment when he got out of his cuffs, jumped out of the prison van.  Being chased by officers, he was shot and killed. I can't find the article that originally said it but one did say he was running towards a woman with a baby getting in their car.  Now the article I did find, the lady actually said this: "Dey said the woman yelled at the officers: "You could have done it away from the baby."  I wonder if she had known that the man running towards her was 1x murder, 3x attempted murderer, 1x rapist  (and god knows what else). Even facing down the danger she was in she chose to complain about the officers and the guns that possibly saved her life. Vestcoat, I view you like this lady, a ignorant fool.

I'd say that gun did me some good also, as well as the woman and her baby.

Oh, and if you wish to discuss this further, lets maybe make a thread in Fighting Street as it has no use here.

I will aggree with you on that for the most part.  The statistics of an owner being shot with his own gun probably isnt very supportive of gun ownership.  I am just guessing, i am not currently away of that actual statistic.  That is why i am an advocate of every gun owner being required to take an extensive firearm safety course (which typically included safe storage and keeping the firearm out of the unintended hands they fall into).

Some people feel a FOID card is enough.

Walking increases your chance of falling down.
Cutting a steak increases your chance of stabbing/cutting yourself.
Driving increases your chance of an accident.
Cooking increases the chance you might burn yourself.
Writing increases the chance you might accidentally poke yourself with a pencil/pen.

As with everything in life, a certain amount of care is to be used or things could go wrong. Guns are no different.
