More people with guns means more losers with guns too.

Best solution is more gun control Less people with guns means odds are in the portion of the population with guns there will be less psychos, losers etc with guns.

Even if 99.9999 percent of gun owners obey laws that one percentage point of turd apples multiplies with with more people having guns.
Puh-lease. When has a criminal ever obeyed a law let alone a gun law?

11 pages of Fishygunner and his gun haters saying people are to stupid to carry a pistol and defend themselves. Pathetic.

Are you guys this scared of people with guns when it's hunting season?

The very definition of self defense means some one has put my life in danger. My gun will work as well as any of your solutions, you choose yours and I'll choose mine. If it came to the point of me having to shoot some one in self defence the perpetrator is hardly innocent.
Guns can also be a deterrent without being fired. My first reaction to a perceived threat would not be to start shooting, that would be a last resort after all other options were ineffective.

Wouldn't have helped my cousin. Wouldn't help in most cases. Most women don't know what's coming in these situations.

Funny thing when it swings both ways, eh.

Not scared of people with guns when it's hunting season. Not scared of people with guns at the best of times. Just saying lax gun laws = more opportunity for guns = more guns out there = more death from guns.

But, during hunting season, don't see so many folks trudging through town with their guns over their shoulder, on their hips etc.

Cheers

When I returned to Alberta, I was invited fishing and told to wear blaze as we would be going thru moose hunting territory,, I laughed then but now don a blaze balaclava when going there as another fisher at the lake recommended it. It had never crossed my mind fishing at any other time, and after reading posts/threads on people scoping? well like Burgle posted, there are idiots everywhere (I just don't take the cleansing society of them part to heart).

These expert marksmen could use their skills with handguns to have gunfights with kids all over the place.

It is fairly obvious the more peolle that can enter a gunfight the better, more bullets and guns shooting should result in less injuries especially if the participants in said gunfights have no experience.


More guns equals more nimrods shooting.



Most people yapping about ccw are just a bunch of armchair internet cowboys, lol
I know many teachers who are members of our gun club, some of them are serious competition shooters and are far more skilled than some of the police officers that shoot at the range.

I would feel quite happy to have them be able to carry their handguns at work.

But then I am not afraid of guns in the hands of responsible individuals.

Car wrecks happen too. Idiots are everywhere, more legislation will not stop that.

If you take the time to read BB's link Roughly 46% of the US legal fire arms owner are in fact criminal record holders??? At the limit of being the majority. So nearly 50% are criminals before they even purchas a gun ???

Canada has pretty strict laws regarding handguns, yet criminals seem to get them. Lax laws don't mean more guns on the street. You can acquire crack and meth without much trouble and it's illegal.

Accidents is the key here. Not may hunters out to get you. The questions remains: do you feel safe in the bush in November?

Candas gun laws have lowered the amount of shootings and gun murders. Most illegal handguns come from countries with lax gun laws eg-the usa.

Every gun was manufactured legally, due to gun laws that arent tight enough in some jurisductions some guns are slipping out of the system.

All you are basically saying is gun control should be tighter where these guns are coming from

Still used illegally in Canada, how did strict Canadian laws stop anything?

Last time I checked stabbing someone was illegal, didn't stop it from happening in Edmonton a few weeks back. Laws don't deter crime, never have, never will.

Perfectly.. well other than the time the dolt decided to shoot in my General direction after assuming the land was clear of hunters. But that is of little consequence In this discussion. To the best of my knowledge all the trained he he certified ho ho others in the bush fall into my ideal

Fair enough, but would the attackers be so bold if they didn't know what was coming? Lone female becomes lone female, possibly armed. That changes 'if she catches me moving in, I overcome her with strength' to 'if she catches me moving in, I get shot'. Enough for the dirt bag to rethink his nights plans.

I'm certainly not saying you can't get things illegally. What I'm saying is if it wasn't illegal, there's plenty more to be gotten.

I would imagine it's difficult for a resident of Colorado to not find marijuana now. I also imagine millions of potheads with a story of "my dealer was out and I couldn't find any"

Cheers

But you are in an area where everybody is armed. Why isn't the gun murder rate high. Increased guns means increased gun crime doesn't it.

I would have to check how many incidents like this occur where firearms are allowed on a person in public. My hunch is that the numbers will show that it doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent.

Owning hunting rifles isn't illegal. There's no more or less guns because hunting season has started. But I don't see 5 hunters at Tim Horton's with their rifles by their side either.

I feel safer at Tim Horton's than I did on the lake out west fishing hearing gun shots all day.

if you think like a criminal, ccw just means you either a. scope your mark well, or b. pull yours before they pull theirs. nothing solved.

I would suggest you check out the airport this fall and see how many "crazy" Americans are carrying guns.

Yet no mass shootings.
