Originally posted by mrsleeve View Postyes as a matter of fact it is. Unfortunately the govt has mandated that you cant have a means of protection on your person if you are in a Govt owned area. SO thats why he cant take it in, has noting to do with ruralness or just old feckers, it has every thing to do with taking responsibility for your own safety just like wearing you seat belt

Sorry man any one and every one that I have ever meet or know of that carries on a Daily basis, hopes and prays every day that when the holseter that weapon and walk outta the house, that it never has to come out other than to put it away when you get back home.
I dont secretly hope I get to shoot some one ever, its not why 99.9999999999999999999% of the people that do carry every day do it. Its all about taking care of your self and protecting yourself and your family at all times as best to your ability, a gun is the best means to do that.
Is it likely to happen, not really but just ask one of the 2 million people every year that use a gun in self Defense fired or not how they feel about it. Or the fact that I am sure mine saved me, and I never had to show or draw it.

Thanks for admitting that it is unlikely. I think that's even an understatement! Carrying a weapon may seem proactive, but it is likely only to be used in a reactionary posture. And your odds of being in such a situation in most parts of the US (not to mention a zoo) are remote to say the least. Then again, my suspicion is that many people who carry weapons live with a desire to be there when something happens because they believe they could make a difference in the outcome. For all the factors necessary to come together to make that a reality is even more remote.

While I do believe that a pump action shotgun is best for home use-make that "schlack-chack" noise, and any intruder now knows you are alerted, armed, and unlikely to miss-I can't find very any real evidence that leads me to believe that walking around armed offers anything other than "a safe feeling". Perhaps that is enough for many....

Originally posted by Old'n'SlowI'd like to see some data that can support the premise that possessing a (hand)gun is the best means to protect your family.

Originally posted by Old'n'SlowHow can you know for a fact that the concealed gun you carried saved your life, without it being shown or drawn? Maybe it was your aftershave. ;-) I understand you feel like it was the difference, but where's the data? I could say I've never been attacked by a dog and I'm sure it was my never shown, never opened pocket knife that made the difference. Makes as much sense....
Well I was approached at 5pm in the broad day light after work coming outta gas station from getting a pop, by several large ethnic men that made it abundantly clear "they were gonna fuck up a white boy" as they started to spread out and cut off any ways to run. Well I was about 25-30 feet from my truck but they were too close to me to bolt and try and unlock it (no keyless locks on that truck) so I tossed my pop in the bed of my truck, faced them and quartered my strong side away from them and put my hand under my sweat shirt on my pistol, with my support hand at my 2:00 holding the bottom of my shirt to pull it up and get both hands on my weapon as fast as possible while backing away to my truck as best I could in case there were more behind me that I never saw. I wanted something sold at my back that they would have to come around. well as I was telling them to back off and trying to get the attention of some one to call the cops, my defensive posture was enough for them to realize I more than likely had a weapon and that I was gonna fight back with force. I got the "Whoa MAN we dont want to trouble" line and then they backed off and left slowly.Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

Fuck CC, just shoulder a rifle, then all the unruly minorities will think twice about trying to steal your fanny pack.
Seriously, if law-abiding citizens do not exercise this right, it will most likely disappear. That being said, I don't feel the need to carry my weapons around every day. There is a time and a place. I wouldn't be comfortable carrying a gun at the zoo. And a gun is not entirely necessary for protection - while in Bogota, Colombia (on leave and not carrying), I came across an attempted robbery which the DAS agent I was going for coffee with (again, off duty and not carrying) and I put an end to without difficulty. The would-be assailant emptied his weapon at the shopkeeper, who fired back until he, too, was out of ammunition. The ONLY person hit was the shopkeeper, who took one on the edge of his thigh. This exchange took place during mid-afternoon, and the shooters had about 8 meters between them. Moral of the story: most criminals probably can't shoot worth crap, especially with the heightened stimulus in such a situation. Most civilian gun-wielders aren't much better in a true combat situation. Moral #2: practice, and be sure you can shoot straight when your heart is going 150 bpm and you're pissing your pants because some whack-job is firing real live ammo in your general direction!e30 x2 (1 cab) lotsa mods; e46 w/m3 front bumper + 330zhp suspension, e36/7 (z3) 3.0i :p

Originally posted by mrsleeve View PostOk yes a shot gun is a better home defense choice, yes I have a rem 870 in the corner in the bed room. You keep it hot with one in the pipe (unless you have kids or company that my get in to it), You dont rack a round into the chamber "To Scare off" an intruder, that fucking noise is just a "Hey dip shit(s) I am over here come a shoot me". You know your home and have the element of surprise to your advantage, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU GIVE THAT UP.
Originally posted by mrsleeve View PostNext there are about 2 million people in the US defend them selves with a gun each year and thats just the reported ones. Weather the perp sees the weapon and runs off to find an easier target with out a shot fired or those bad situations where some one had to fire.
Originally posted by mrsleeve View PostWell I was approached at 5pm in the broad day light......
BTW, I'm not saying no one's ever been saved because they were packing. But you're still far more likely to die in a car crash. Why not run a roll cage, 5 point harness and a helmet on the interstate? You never know- it could save your life!
