What kind of horrible, dangerous places do these people live that hey have to go out armed?

[BULLDOG]

If you are afraid to face the world without being armed 24/7, you are a coward.

I do not think that coward is the correct word for either side of the discussion.

I own a couple guns, do not carry, open or concealed unless I am going to shoot them. Have no need nor desire to have a firearm on my person at all times. Not because I am afraid of guns nor people who carry them, I just do not see the point at this place in my life.

But by the same token, I know a lot of people that are armed just about everywhere they go, to them slipping on their gun is no different than putting on their belt or shoes. None of them do it out of fear, anymore than locking your door in your car is done out of fear.

There are reasonable times to be armed, but if anyone feels the need to be armed 24/7, and they are not a cop, military, or have a special reason to feel threatened, they are either nuts or a coward.

Lol
You’re missing the point, whether anyone carry’s or not... firearm ownership is no one else’s business least of all the federal governments

I am not against gun ownership, but certain people should not have access to guns. That's just common sense.

Lol
That is why we need criminal control not gun-control… The vast majority of violent crime in this country is done by repeat offenders… Get rid of the repeat offenders violent crime goals way down

Some people are just too stupid to be allowed to carry a gun

A Marion, Indiana, man was seriously injured after he accidentally shot himself in the groin with a gun he did not have a license to possess, authorities say.
Mark Anthony Jones, 46, was out for a walk early on Feb. 28 with an unholstered Hi-Point 9mm handgun in his waistband when the weapon began to slip from its position, according to a police report.
When Jones went to adjust the handgun, he accidentally discharged it, shooting himself in the genitals.
"The bullet entered just above his penis and exited his scrotum," said Marion Police Department’s deputy chief Stephen D. Dorsey

I've heard of spanking it, but that's just taking it too far.

Another gun nut who would have been better off with the Barney Fife rule. Only 1 bullet allowed, and it must stay in the shirt pocket.

I don't know anyone who sleeps with their gun on them so in reality no one is armed 24/7

It seems one person on this forum said they have a gun in a slot on their headboard...so that is pretty darn 24/7

Lol
Firearm ownership by law abiding Citizen’s is no one else’s business whatsoever and certainly none of the federal governments business

I agree, but they are the one that offered up the information.

 

[Blues Man]

Actually, no. It takes a certain amount of bravery for a man to take upon himself the responsibility for his own personal safety, and the safety of his loved ones.

A true "coward" would be those like yourself, who would rather become a murder victim than to protect themselves and their family members. History is full of cowards who had neither the tools nor the inclination to survive, and it's pretty obvious that you are of the same mindset.

A gun in easy reach is not being armed it's being able to be armed quickly

 

[Blues Man]

Oh, I agree. Most frivolous gun control laws don't. But the ones we have here have save countless lives. When each year, they send over 100 convicted violent felons trying to buy guns back to prison then background checks are working. And don't go into the Cite, Cite crap again. I already provided you with the stats from 2016 for the State of Colorado awhile back so don't deny it and that exact number was 127.

States like South Dakota are rolling back frivolous gun control laws, and it’s making the state safer place to live

South Dakota has more gun deaths per 1000 people than Illinois!

How many are suicides?

Bingo!
Suicides and accidental deaths do not count.

Actually, no. It takes a certain amount of bravery for a man to take upon himself the responsibility for his own personal safety, and the safety of his loved ones.

Many gun owners keep a gun within reach while they sleep. Typically on or in a nightstand.

Which makes sense since you are most vulnerable when you are sleeping

So very often I see conversations such as these:

Astonishing that you cant go for a walk without taking your gun.Its like living in a prison.

You have to wonder what kind of horrible, dangerous places do these people live that hey have to go out armed.

The obvious response:
The same places where we're told gun-violence is -so- bad that we need to further restrict the law abiding in their exercise of the right to keep and bear arms.
If gun violence is indeed that bad, how is it unreasonable to carry a gun for self-defense?

Why is the people who ask this question never want to discuss the answer?
How is it gun violence can be so bad that we need more gun control laws, but people who want to carry a gun to protect themselves are nuts?

The thing is the paranoia. They live in the suburbs and think it's downtown Beirut.

Or they know that if they ever need help the cops are too far away to respond in time that is if they respond at all.

That's a dumb excuse. What are the chances of getting into deadly trouble a gun can save you from in suburban America? Especially if you are untrained in it's use? I'd be willing to bet you are more likely to be struck by lighting or hit by a bus.

It only takes one time.

Better to be prepared than not.

There is little or no chance my house will burn down but that doesn't mean I let my insurance lapse.

I hollowed out an old radio and it now sits on my headboard with my Glock inside of it. I can retrieve the firearm very quickly if needed.

But I don’t need to carry when i go to the grocery store. I’ve no hero fantasies.

It's not that you "don't need" to carry, you can't. Not without a permit, which you don't have. Most likely you're one of those prohibited people who has a criminal background, possibly a felon and a pothead.

No permit required in many states. The guy that shot his own dick in Indiana didn't have a permit.

The possibility of one's getting shot in the face by a gun-owning homeowner is the only thing keeping the suburbs from becoming like downtown Beruit. Same with the rural areas.

Lol, no. Your average American is not out to shoot you. You are paranoid.

No one carries to protect themselves or their family from average people.
