I seriously doubt I would ever carry a gun myself, other than maybe for plinking a grouse or something. I however, do not suffer from the paranoid delusion that just because everyone has the freedom to do so, that there will be bullets flying all over the streets. This liberal paranoia of guns and fellow man as exhibited by fishgunner and others, is ridiculous and has zero basis in fact or stat. It's a made up fantasy he has. A justification for his malplaced belief that people are inherently incompetent or evil as evidenced by his derogatory slight against the good people of Georgia.

With the reagan example how did 10-20 armed trained individuals stop a shooting ... they did not one killed three injured iirc with an instant response . So umm more guns is just grasping at straws as posted sandy hook was surrounded by armed individuals made not one iota of differance just like in the reagan incident.

So aactually in both thoses cases brave men stopped the shooter not armed individuals. Hmmm bravery in these cases was by far a better response than grabing a fire arm. Who knew ???

Literacy and logic are both lacking in all of this gibberish.
You are a poorly trained person at best and prefer to use skewed statistic to support your, again, poorly deduced presuppositions.
Your condescension is bland and gives the people you talk down to a feeling reminicent of tossing flavorless patè around your mouth.
The texture and lack of enjoyment quickly become appalling.

Gust, simply disagreeing with someone does not mean you have hatred for them.
I live in a nice neighborhood, my business is in a so-so neighborhood. I carry almost everyday. It has nothing to do with being paranoid or scared. I also wear my seatbelt and have fire insurance on my house. Doesn't mean I leave the house everyday thinking I'm going to get in a car wreck or have my house burn down.
If I ever find myself in a bad situation I rather be prepared than otherwise.

Not sure how else to look at that. see what every one is missing imo is the motivated individuals (ie the shooters) cannot be stopped with any amount of law or fire power imo the US has the market cornered in motivated individuals with guns . Is the rest of the planet well ajusted ? Doubt it so as Sherlock would suggest what is left ??? Too many guns .... bingo . Self centered society thats scared of its own shadow with out a care of the other guy imo .

What makes you think a criminal willing to break murder laws would not break gun laws.
What you are advocating is disarming law abiding gun owners.
Law abiding gun owners do not commit gun crime.

Here's some facts that not a lot of people aren't aware of it would seem.
In Columbine, the shooters ignored gun laws on their way to ignore laws against murder. Victims had their hands for defence.
In Newtown, the shooter ignored gun laws on his way to ignore laws against murder. Victims had their hands for defence.
In Fort Hood 2009, the shooter ignored gun laws on his way to ignore laws against murder. Victims had their hands for defence.
In Fort Hood 2014, the shooter ignored gun laws on his way to ignore laws against murder. Victims had their hands for defence.
etc etc etc etc
Not sure why this is such a big deal. Lots of paranoid people running around afraid of shovels and rakes it would seem.

Dumbest thing you've ever said...a new low actually.
I was not aware that that short list could account for more than a fraction of the total shootings in the US over the last several years but I guess you know better....
Otherwise... folks in Georgia can can do whatever they like but I doubt that it will make much of a difference when violent crimes are already in a general decline in most of the US and Canada already.

Kind of a self serving statement ...no?
Everyone is law abiding until they commit a crime including law abiding owners like that ex cop in the theatre... or that pilot they just caught at the airport here...for instance.

I personally don't see myself carrying a gun in my pocket everywhere I go .gawd my pockets are heavy enough as it is..Although a leatherman with a .22 cal pistol under the screwdriver could be handy That said I can see how it might make for a slightly more polite society.

My Thread, No Personal Slagging, just debate,, questions:answers.
Humour and those thing called meme's are welcome too (more welcome if you create your own).
Civil debate with an edge is ok,,, but no personal slagging.

You know, your post is technically copyrighted; you should talk to Leatherman & Hilti and make a single shot. Great idea,, I mean you never know when you might need to drive a nail into cement.

ABSOLUTELY

You can look at it that way, but you shouldn't take action against the gun owner until he has broken the law.
We don't ban cars or alcohol because law abiding car owners don't drink and drive, until they do.

It's that certified part that is the clincher. In the Georgia law (if it got signed today), a cop can't ask if you are carrying. A certified/trained sane person wouldn't have any qualms saying yes whereas a criminal would or might get a tad weird about it and I think that's the flaw in this specific state law. Also, the states is a wacky place, so much more compressed city wise than Canada, which creates an uneasy tension.

I'm sirry buds but if you think what you learned in the Navy or at your fathers side has in any way prepared you for a gun fight and killing... you are dead wrong and setting yourself up for failure if the need or opportunity to test that assumption ever comes along.

What war zone did you serve in sailor?
How many times did you put someone in your sights?
Did you even hear an angry shot while you were in?
Please... not all vets are created or schooled equally.

Sorry Buddy... I said my piece here and I am off tonight so have better things to do... in the comfort of my own bed.
These threads always attract those that talk the talk and never walked the walk telling those who have... that THEY know better.
Its a fantasy... but mostly harmless so... I'm going to sit the rest of this one out unless addressed directly.
Besides.... who really cares what folks in Georgia do?
Its their country... their perception of reality, their choice and theirs to deal with if they are wrong.
