Man facing charges after attack on Starbucks barista, thwarted by licensed gun ownerHow does that even hope to prove your accusation that someone (in particular) carries in the hopes of using it ?
Please explain that accusation and how you think it is all provable.
If your claimed fear has never happened, and it is no more likely to happen tomorrow than it did at any time in the past, You're either a coward, or nuts. Gun nuts get a nut imagining the wonderful day when they can be Dirty Harry, and save the day.
Damn CCW's saving the day...grrr
Do you live in Salt Lake and frequent that particular Starbucks? If so, how often does someone need to use their gun there? How soon till it can reasonably be expected for a similar incident to happen there again? Just because an incident happened somewhere in the world doesn't mean you have a reasonable expectation of it happening to you. Would that Tsunami in Indonesia justify building a massive levee around Kansas City? Use a little common sense for once. Your cowardice doesn't justify you endangering everyone you might walk past.
Good grief man. Are you psyhic? Doing Miss Cleo? Then you don't know when something bad is going to happen. You said "you're not going to be attacked by wildlife at Walmart". I posted a link to a bear running rampant at Walmart. You say don't take your gun to a dance recital...Nicole Brown Simpson was stabbed to death after returning from her daughters dance recital. Think she wishes she or Mr. Goldman had brought their gun? We'll never know.
We know Susan Hupp wishes SHE had her gun at the Luby's shooting in Kileen. There wasn't a shoot there before, she'd never needed her firearm for self defense before and it wasn't a "bad part of town"...so your stupid bullshit is totally invalid.
You don't know when you are going to need to defend yourself, your family or total strangers. Maybe tomorrow...maybe never. Like I said previously, what the fuck difference does it make whether I've had to use my firearm before. I've never used mt life insurance before either...only a complete moron thinks that's a valid excuse for not having it. Same with carrying a gun...just because you haven't needed it before has absolutely zero bearing on whether you'll need it in the future...that's the damn dumbest strawman ever erected.
Now, your last statement undoes you. "Your cowardice doesn't justify you endangering everyone you might walk past".
I found the coward. The coward that feels so threatened and fearful of my legally carried firearm, that he would label me a coward to attempt to dissuade others from carrying a weapon wherever and whenever it was legal for them to do so? A classic case of psychological transference.
Assuage your fear fellow traveller. I am fully military trained with an assortment of firearm including the sidearm, and am fully proficient in safety, markmanship and maintenance.
You can now rejoin society.
Got it. If something bad happens anywhere in the world, you are afraid it will likely happen to you. I can't imagine how tense you are being that much of a coward.
Says the person so afraid that my legally carried firearm is going to jump out of it's holster and go on a rampage of it's own accord that he gets on the internet and anonymously labels an Army Veteran he doesn't know a coward multiple times for attempting to legally be as prepared as possible for the unexpected and attempt to protect himself, his family and any others he can. You must be very proud.
I'm not mad at you though, disappointed, but not angry...you're entitled to your opinion.
