The way I see it, the only reasons someone would carry a glock

- crime is really terribly out of control, where you live is like a warzone



12 Americans are killed every day in crimes committed by illegal aliens. Does this count?

- you are paranoid about crime being out of control, you watch too many crime shows on tv, you watch rubbish news which plays up all the threats of crime and you sincerely, but mistakenly believe your life is on the line everytime you leave the house


Ever been a victim of crime? I've been carjacked. Does that make me "paranoid" or once burned, twice shy?
Quote:


- you like to think of yourself as a big, tough man who carries an automatic weapon because that is how you make yourself important


Actually, I'm a fat old man who has had his share of scuffling on the ground with someone, doesn't want any more holes poked in my precious anatomy and is impatient with idiots who want what does not belong to them.

And as stated, SEMI-automatic. Or would it be all okay with you if I carried a revolver?

I'm sure there are some places in the world where things are that bad that you would have to carry a weapon for protection. I'm glad I don't live in one of those places, and if it looked like going that way,I'd rather look at why such terrible crime existed, and what could be done to make it better, rather than have an armed civilian population.


I really hope that someday you wake up to the realities of the world. But even then, most people are not fit to carry a weapon. I don't know what camp you belong in, the hoplophobes or citizens. Citizens believe that they have rights that cannot be taken from them by any government. That's what the US Bill of Rights is all about. Hoplophobes cannot distinguish between A)An armed citizen and a criminal. The mere presence of a weapon makes them uneasy, even on a police officer. B)The use of a tool to commit a crime and the crime being committed by the tool.

A carry piece is a weapon of convenience. If I know that someone is going to be trying to mug me on July 21st at 7:30pm, I am NOT going to show up with a pistol. I'm bringing a longarm and I'm also bringing friends, with their longarms.

Hoplophobe:


http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hoplophobe


:)

"An irrational fear of weapons, generally guns, usually occuring as a result of a liberal upbringing or the fact that the person is just a wimp in general. Rather than deal with the fear said hoplophobe will assign human characteristics to a weapon ie "guns are evil" or "guns kill" to justify the fear rather than deal with the core problem of being a sissy.


----Due to his aversion to weapons, all the the police could do for young Seth (the hoplophobe) was chalk his cold dead body out on the floor as he had no defense for the thug that broke into his one bedroom apartment in San Fran. The police noted the irony in the fact that the killer had scored three hits in the "O" portion of Seth's OBAMA 08 T-shirt."

Hello Magons,

I am glad you feel comfortable in your lifestyle and environment. I am sorry some feel the need to denigrate it. I also dream of a world where no one ever feels the need to carry a firearm for defense. I think we should work towards that world, however we choose to equip ourselves in the interim.

I also look forward to a world where no one feels the need to lock their doors. It's the same principle. There was such a world, once, in some places on Earth. I hear the legends. Perhaps we can rediscover it together.

Its kind of funny how its the places that severely curb gun-rights that often have the most violent crime...

Hmmmm. I wonder why?

Cell phone, keys, money clip, iPod and occasionally a pack of gum. If taking public transit I'll have some quarters on me but otherwise that's all I need.

Socialist and unashamed about it.

Anthony I think everyone wants to live in a world where guns are not needed, but easily available if they are.

Thats the compromise.

What places are you thinking of, for example?
