By all means, you should really have you gun close so you could just fire away (in self defense) at someone in public. There is nothing scarier then standing in line at a store with some crazy looking guy with a loaded 9mm. Who are you afraid of? Make sure you have enough firepower to bring down a tank when you go to buy some wax. I have guns myself, but I don't bring them out into public. I don't want to take your guns away, but I'd like to give you some brains along with them.
They are great to collect, though. Can't blame someone for that. |
I'm sure by now that you have heard something about the mall shooting that killed many innocent people. If you haven't, google it and read about it a little. If someone in the mall had have been able to have a concealed weapon, then that person could have possibly shot the offender before he killed more innocent people. The police would have done the same. Are you telling me it that isn't OK to defend yourself and your fellow human beings in a situation like that by concealing a handgun on your person just in case of a similar situation?
I'm not going to shoot someone just because they are stealing my wallet or my car or something of the like. Those are replaceable. But if they open fire on me, my family or anone else who is around me that is an innocent by-stander, then I would like to be able to have the chance to defent myself and them. Innocent life isn't replaceable.
And the shootings like the one in the mall and all of the schools are happening more. And with ith the media hype they get, it is sparking copy cats. I like the freedom to be able to carry a weapong and possibly defend myself and feel safer while doing so.
If you don't feel that way, that is completely fine. Good for you for sticking with what you believe. But don't come in here and criticise what other people believe.
