Yes actually, and what are you getting at? if someone has a gun in the face of a clerk and you shoot the guy in the knee he goes down and you keep the gun trained on him till the cops arrive the bad guy goes to jail and everyone else goes on with their lives.cainx10a said:
Concealed carry is just fine, you tell me the rules and regs of concealed carry, I could tell you but that would not teach you anything, why don't you do your own research. What if you being mugged outside your home? are you going to tell the guy to wait until you can get home to call the cops or ask him nicely to see if you can use your phone or grab your gun or yell at the top of your lungs so he puts a bullet in you throat to shut you up?
If someone is mugging you the situation is clear, what is not clear about someone pulling a knife or other weapon on you and demanding your money or raping you or someone you know. I live in the only state where I cant carry a gun but the criminals already do meaning that I can carry a pocket knife while they carry whatever the hell they want. My 4 inch locking blade is no good past 4 inches past the length of my arm and stride.
If someone is threatening you with a gun kill them, end of story, take them out of the human genome and send a message to the other muggers.
Ive had people break into my home with handguns before and that's why I have an AR-15 in a safe near by my room. I learned from the first time that a baseball bat wont help but the rifle made it so I had no issues sense then. Nothing says "get on the ground and whimper like a *****" quite like an assault rifle and that's what both of them did till the cops came and hauled them away.
Have you ever shot a weapon before? Let me guess, your parents and your teachers raised you to believe that you can talk your way out of any situation or you can just give the money over and that will be the end of it. Its too bad that muggers that are deranged enough to shove a weapon in your face usually don't think twice about sinking a hollow point into your forehead the next second and watching that pink puff that used to be your brains blow all over the wall behind you. They don't CARE about you, your family, your friends, they just want your money and they will kill you to get it.
Are you afraid of someone shooting you? what the hell are you doing sticking weapons in other peoples faces in apparently non violent ways? what don't you understand about the fact that cops cant always run to your aid at every second of the day, they cannot protect you from 5 blocks away and they cant yell at the criminal over the phone in such a way that they will stop what they are doing. The crime rate rose by 35% in GB after they confiscated firearms, why do you think that is?
It rose by 35% because the criminal element knew that the targets just became easier and that the cops would be under a false sense of security, now the cops have to carry assault weapons because the crooks know that they can literally make a killing without anyone to stop them except for the cops.
