Why do you need to carry a gun?

[Cecilie1200]

My country is an African country....
So now you blaming rape and crimes on blacks ?

Who do you think is responsible for most of our crimes, whites?

You need to look at statistics for that answer. In the US, you are eight times more likely to be killed by a black than a white. And blacks only make up about 13% of our population.

As for your country, you never said what country that actually is. Probably afraid somebody will look it up to show it's not the utopia you claim it is. After all, you live here now; at least that's what you said a couple months ago.

African Americans were a subject of segregation and racism and that's why we see what we see.
No I'm happy to tell you that I'm from Morocco and a proud American.
We never had a school shooting, mass shooting (except for couple of terrorist attacks l, that most countries had)

Now Google is your friend....I live in both countries. We have different races, we have sub saharan migrants....so we have same ingredients as the US almost, except of the availability of guns.

Since you continue to carefully avoid telling us which country you're in that you claim is so superior to the US, I am forced to assume that you're lying and don't want us to find out. And since I wouldn't take your word for it if you told me water was wet, and certainly not about the "wonders" of your secret country that you're afraid to name, that makes everything you say a pointless waste of board space.

Long past time to put you where you and your ilk belong.

Buh-bye!

It certainly shows too. I don't know anything about Morocco, but just doing a quick search, here is what I found:

Gender violence
Violence against Moroccan women remains widespread and a largely taboo subject in the country, according to research data.

In 2009, a national survey reported that 62.8 percent of women had experienced physical, psychological, sexual or economic abuse.

Of the sample interviewed, 55 percent reported "conjugal" violence and 13.5 percent reported "familial" violence.

It also became a hot issue last August after a video was posted on the internet showing a young woman on a bus being sexually molested by a group of boys while the driver and passengers ignored her appeals for help.

This sent shockwaves throughout the country and intensified calls for more to be done in the kingdom.

According to AFP news agency, about 1,600 cases of rape were heard by Moroccan courts last year, twice as many as previous years.

Morocco criminalises violence against women and sexual harassment

So it seems, you have a country of defenseless women who are constantly being abused. Furthermore as the article points out, this "new law" to protect women doesn't include spousal rape or abuse. It's apparently perfectly legal.

Here, a woman (wife or otherwise) not only has legal protection against a male, she also has firearm protection. And in our country, the law states that a person (in this case a woman) has the legal right to use deadly force against an attacker she believes will cause her serious bodily injury or death. Perfectly legal.

Maybe when you go back to Morocco, take a few guns back with you for your sisters and female cousins. I'm sure it will help them sleep better at night, just as our American females can thanks to the Second Amendment.

Hahahahaha I knew you gonna try and Google your way to it. I lived there half of my life and i visit frequently and here is what someone who loves both America and Morocco can tell you:

I RATHER be a woman in Morocco than in the US.
A little Moroccan girl can play in the streets without being kidnapped, raped and later killed (super rare)
Moroccan girls as little as 7 walk to school on their own without the fear of being kidnapped, unlike here.
Moroccan women dont get kidnapped raped, killed and buried as often and frequent as the US.
We have more women in our parliament than US women in congress.
You come to any Moroccan neighborhood you disrespect a female your ass get kicked....unlike here everyone wants to get under her panties.
We give our seats to women in buses and other places, we carry heavy loads for them AMD so forth....we respect our moms unlike here they get called bitches and all sorta names....if you disrespect woman in the street that's a pass to get your ass kicked.
I can go on and on.

And that must be why people are trying to move to Morocco in such great numbers....right? Versus the U.S.....right?

Yeah, we've all heard about the border crisis Morocco is having, with people flooding in there in search of the good life.

You can go on and on all you like, but this link states differently.

You give your bus seats to women, for what, so they can be raped by teens and nobody does anything?

Yes, you have less crimes in Morocco because you have a population less than California. The US has nearly ten times that population. As for representation, Morocco has 21% of women in their parliament and the US Congress has 23%, so you fail on that claim as well.

Moroccan women don't get kidnapped, raped and beaten by strangers, yet it apparently happens all the time by their husbands and that's okay. Nobody is "kicking their ass."

According to Nationmaster, Morocco's crime RATE is 32% higher than the US.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Not long ago, I walked to the mailbox, and along my route I saw a Copperhead snake. For those who are uninformed about this particular snake, it is venomous. A healthy adult probably will not die from the bite, providing that they receive medical attention promptly. However, children, and elderly, will find the bite far more deadly. Not to mention pets. Everyone on my street has dogs, and I have cats as well. Additionally my neighbor is in his 80’s, and he would probably find the bite life threatening.

So this snake was a danger to my pets, my neighbors, and the children who live a quarter mile away.

I pulled the pistol I habitually carry, and shot the snake. I was in my yard, in my neighborhood, if you can call it a neighborhood to live in such a rural area. Yet I was armed, because this is not the first wildlife threat I’ve found myself facing. We also have Wild Boar, which are very aggressive and potentially dangerous or deadly. Coyotes are heard from time to time as they roam along the wooded areas that take up a vast majority of the space out here.

I did not go looking for the snake. I did not go out of my way searching for it. I found it on my normal path, walking to the mailbox in my rural area, on my land. In my yard, the area with grass and such.

So why carry a gun? Because if I had to turn around and rush to the house to get the pistol, the snake may have moved, and been difficult, or impossible to locate. Perhaps he would have returned to the woods, where I sometimes walk, to check the property, but never in a hunting frame of mind. That snake might have bitten my dog, my cats, or my neighbors pets. It might have bitten my neighbor, the old man who has his mailbox positioned next to mine. It might have bitten a child. The best you could hope for is an expensive trip to the Emergency Room, sucking your cash out to pay for the care you would need to minimize the danger.

There is much truth in the old saying. It is better to have, and not need, than to need and not have. There are. Probably a dozen more Copperheads within two hundred yards of where I sit. In the woods, or marshy areas. Hunting and living, and just as much of a danger to the neighborhood as the one I shot. I did not break the law. In Georgia, you can kill venomous snakes, but not non venomous snakes. The experts tell you to take two steps back, and run away if you come across one. That is not my way. It leaves the problem for another. It leaves the danger for my 80 year old neighbor, his dog, or the dogs two doors down who meander over to say hello now and then.

It leaves the danger for the children, who ride their bikes up and down the dirt road.

So why do you need to carry a gun? Because there are more dangers than the odd robbery, or attempted murder. Because the world is filled with threats, two legged, four legged, and even no legs at all. With a gun, you have a much better chance of survival than without. With a gun, you do not guarantee survival, but you increase your odds dramatically.

Yes, accidents are going to happen, just as they do with cars and drivers. Yes, people are going to use the gun to criminally harm another. And yes, people who have guns are going to die before they can get the thing into play. I didn’t say it was a miracle answer, I just said it increases your odds of survival. No one can guarantee your safety or protection. The best that they, or I, can do is give you a fighting chance at survival. Be it from a Copperhead, or a Shitheaded thug. If you choose to take no action to protect yourself, that is your choice, and I’ll respect it. But do not try and take that right from others, because I won’t respect that.

Ridiculous sophistry.

No one ‘needs’ to carry a gun.

Carrying a concealed firearm is a subjective, personal preference.

Just as I carry a concealed firearm not out of ‘need’ but due to preference.

Depends on where you are. If you stay away from certain places, then you probably don't need to carry.

And if you DO carry, you probably don't need to let criminals dictate your movements and actions.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Why does the average woman carry a gun? Penis envy.

Why does the average man carry a gun? Same reason.

Why does the average leftist woman hate guns? Ignorance.

Why does the average leftist man hate guns? Misogyny.

I'll make you the same offer I made the last retard in here, ol' whatshisnose from the secret country: You can blather at me about how unnecessary guns are right after you can tell me about the violent crime YOU were a victim of. Until then, you can take your desire to leave me defenseless to feed your own ego and shove it where the sun don't shine.

In Georgia, you can kill venomous snakes, but not non venomous snakes. The experts tell you to take two steps back, and run away if you come across one. That is not my way. It leaves the problem for another. It leaves the danger for my 80 year old neighbor, his dog, or the dogs two doors down who meander over to say hello now and then.

It leaves the danger for the children, who ride their bikes up and down the dirt road.

So why do you need to carry a gun? Because there are more dangers than the odd robbery, or attempted murder. Because the world is filled with threats, two legged, four legged, and even no legs at all. With a gun, you have a much better chance of survival than without. With a gun, you do not guarantee survival, but you increase your odds dramatically.

Yes, accidents are going to happen, just as they do with cars and drivers. Yes, people are going to use the gun to criminally harm another. And yes, people who have guns are going to die before they can get the thing into play. I didn’t say it was a miracle answer, I just said it increases your odds of survival. No one can guarantee your safety or protection. The best that they, or I, can do is give you a fighting chance at survival. Be it from a Copperhead, or a Shitheaded thug. If you choose to take no action to protect yourself, that is your choice, and I’ll respect it. But do not try and take that right from others, because I won’t respect that.

Ridiculous sophistry.

No one ‘needs’ to carry a gun.

Carrying a concealed firearm is a subjective, personal preference.

Just as I carry a concealed firearm not out of ‘need’ but due to preference.

What a great reason for putting people n danger where you tote.

Funny I've had a CC permit for almost 34 years and no one has ever been "in danger" because I was carrying. In fact no one ever even knew I was carrying.

The fact is that most people who carry concealed firearms know that it is an awesome responsibility and people with concealed carry permits are some of the most law abiding people in the country.

Not long ago, I walked to the mailbox, and along my route I saw a Copperhead snake. For those who are uninformed about this particular snake, it is venomous. A healthy adult probably will not die from the bite, providing that they receive medical attention promptly. However, children, and elderly, will find the bite far more deadly. Not to mention pets. Everyone on my street has dogs, and I have cats as well. Additionally my neighbor is in his 80’s, and he would probably find the bite life threatening.

So this snake was a danger to my pets, my neighbors, and the children who live a quarter mile away.

I pulled the pistol I habitually carry, and shot the snake. I was in my yard, in my neighborhood, if you can call it a neighborhood to live in such a rural area. Yet I was armed, because this is not the first wildlife threat I’ve found myself facing. We also have Wild Boar, which are very aggressive and potentially dangerous or deadly. Coyotes are heard from time to time as they roam along the wooded areas that take up a vast majority of the space out here.

I did not go looking for the snake. I did not go out of my way searching for it. I found it on my normal path, walking to the mailbox in my rural area, on my land. In my yard, the area with grass and such.

So why carry a gun? Because if I had to turn around and rush to the house to get the pistol, the snake may have moved, and been difficult, or impossible to locate. Perhaps he would have returned to the woods, where I sometimes walk, to check the property, but never in a hunting frame of mind. That snake might have bitten my dog, my cats, or my neighbors pets. It might have bitten my neighbor, the old man who has his mailbox positioned next to mine. It might have bitten a child. The best you could hope for is an expensive trip to the Emergency Room, sucking your cash out to pay for the care you would need to minimize the danger.

There is much truth in the old saying. It is better to have, and not need, than to need and not have. There are. Probably a dozen more Copperheads within two hundred yards of where I sit. In the woods, or marshy areas. Hunting and living, and just as much of a danger to the neighborhood as the one I shot. I did not break the law.

Why would they be in danger? The only time a CCW carrier would use a firearm is if his/her life was in danger, or perhaps another's in danger. Look at the story I posted a page or two ago that just happened in the area I live near. The store clerk shot one of the armed robbers who was going to shoot him. Yes, he got shot anyway, but his injuries are superficial and who knows if they would have continued shooting him to death. Now, one of them is under arrest and it's only a matter of time when police figure out who the other two are. Because this clerk armed himself, three lowlifes will be going to prison so they don't kill somebody like you next time; an unarmed victim.

African Americans were a subject of segregation and racism and that's why we see what we see.
No I'm happy to tell you that I'm from Morocco and a proud American.
We never had a school shooting, mass shooting (except for couple of terrorist attacks l, that most countries had)

Now Google is your friend....I live in both countries. We have different races, we have sub saharan migrants....so we have same ingredients as the US almost, except of the availability of guns.

It certainly shows too. I don't know anything about Morocco, but just doing a quick search, here is what I found:

Gender violence
Violence against Moroccan women remains widespread and a largely taboo subject in the country, according to research data.

In 2009, a national survey reported that 62.8 percent of women had experienced physical, psychological, sexual or economic abuse.

Of the sample interviewed, 55 percent reported "conjugal" violence and 13.5 percent reported "familial" violence.

It also became a hot issue last August after a video was posted on the internet showing a young woman on a bus being sexually molested by a group of boys while the driver and passengers ignored her appeals for help.

This sent shockwaves throughout the country and intensified calls for more to be done in the kingdom.

According to AFP news agency, about 1,600 cases of rape were heard by Moroccan courts last year, twice as many as previous years.

Morocco criminalises violence against women and sexual harassment

So it seems, you have a country of defenseless women who are constantly being abused. Furthermore as the article points out, this "new law" to protect women doesn't include spousal rape or abuse. It's apparently perfectly legal.

Here, a woman (wife or otherwise) not only has legal protection against a male, she also has firearm protection. And in our country, the law states that a person (in this case a woman) has the legal right to use deadly force against an attacker she believes will cause her serious bodily injury or death. Perfectly legal.

Maybe when you go back to Morocco, take a few guns back with you for your sisters and female cousins. I'm sure it will help them sleep better at night, just as our American females can thanks to the Second Amendment.

Hahahahaha I knew you gonna try and Google your way to it. I lived there half of my life and i visit frequently and here is what someone who loves both America and Morocco can tell you:

I RATHER be a woman in Morocco than in the US.
A little Moroccan girl can play in the streets without being kidnapped, raped and later killed (super rare)
Moroccan girls as little as 7 walk to school on their own without the fear of being kidnapped, unlike here.
Moroccan women dont get kidnapped raped, killed and buried as often and frequent as the US.
We have more women in our parliament than US women in congress.
You come to any Moroccan neighborhood you disrespect a female your ass get kicked....unlike here everyone wants to get under her panties.
We give our seats to women in buses and other places, we carry heavy loads for them AMD so forth....we respect our moms unlike here they get called bitches and all sorta names....if you disrespect woman in the street that's a pass to get your ass kicked.
I can go on and on.

You can go on and on all you like, but this link states differently.

You give your bus seats to women, for what, so they can be raped by teens and nobody does anything?

Yes, you have less crimes in Morocco because you have a population less than California. The US has nearly ten times that population. As for representation, Morocco has 21% of women in their parliament and the US Congress has 23%, so you fail on that claim as well.

Moroccan women don't get kidnapped, raped and beaten by strangers, yet it apparently happens all the time by their husbands and that's okay. Nobody is "kicking their ass."

According to Nationmaster, Morocco's crime RATE is 32% higher than the US.

It's not the paradise he said it was. He also told me he would rather be a woman in Morocco than a woman in the US. Goes to show his line of thinking.

Ever been there ? Is the most visited country in africa.
No mass shooting like the US.

African Americans were a subject of segregation and racism and that's why we see what we see.
No I'm happy to tell you that I'm from Morocco and a proud American.

Have you ever visited ? No.
According to your crime master site which is not an anaccurate site.
Murder rate in the US is 29 times worse than Morocco. (Thanks to guns)

Intentional homicide the US is worse 3 times.
Rape rate in the US is a lot worse than moroco.
Kidnapping of young kids raping them and killing them is a lot higher in the US...because when one kid gets kidnapped in Morocco thr whole country stops....in the US is an hourly occurence.
Mass killing in the US is in the 100s of times, 0 in Morocco.

Keep on dreaming my kids ages 11 and 12 can take the bus and travel through Casablanca unafraid cant do that here.

And again I love both countries but in terms of safety, no comparison at all.

And again I'm not saying there are no crimes, there are but lot of pity crimes....here in the US there is no mercy, they slaughter the elderly, kids, you name it. Most of our thieves still have a bit of morals I guess.
And by the way Morocco was the first country to recognize the independence of the US and offer it its first building outside the US....be grateful and sont thank me for educating you.

 

[Issa]

Who do you think is responsible for most of our crimes, whites?

You need to look at statistics for that answer. In the US, you are eight times more likely to be killed by a black than a white. And blacks only make up about 13% of our population.

As for your country, you never said what country that actually is. Probably afraid somebody will look it up to show it's not the utopia you claim it is. After all, you live here now; at least that's what you said a couple months ago.

African Americans were a subject of segregation and racism and that's why we see what we see.
No I'm happy to tell you that I'm from Morocco and a proud American.

And that must be why people are trying to move to Morocco in such great numbers....right? Versus the U.S.....right?

Yeah, we've all heard about the border crisis Morocco is having, with people flooding in there in search of the good life.

You just an immense ignorance of a typical uneducated about world affairs American or should i say Trump supporter?
Morocco has a migrant/refuge crisis....we have thousands that cross everyday to either cross to Europe or remain in the country....the government just gave amnesty to thousands of subsaharans and refugees mainly from Syria.
Morocco is an emerging country, that once ruled south of Europe for 8 centuries and brought the whole continent out of the dark ages....I guess you didn't know this because of your glorious education....and i bet you never visited South of Europe to see for your eyes as well.
You also didn't know that Morocco was the first country to recognize the US independence and offer it help, friendship and its first building outside the US....when the US needed the help the most....and till this day Morocco is considered one of the biggest allies to the US. And Moroccan intelligence foiled many terrorist attacks that were targeting americans and american interest.
But that's just la serise sur le gateau....If you need any more lecturing i'm happy to help.

To be honest, I don't think anybody in the US wants to visit Morocco. WTF is over there that anybody would want to see or experience? My site is inaccurate but proof of that is your denial?

Learn to do the math. Our murder rate is not 29 times worse than Morocco unless you are talking the entire population of the US which is ten times that of Morocco. Per capita, the murder rate in Morocco is something like 1.3 per 100,000 whereas in the US, it's 3.5. That's not 29 times.

If husband rape is not even against the law in Morocco, how could any country have less rapes than that place?

Be grateful that Morocco offered the US the first building outside our country? WTF would care about that? What did that ever do for us?

Not long ago, I walked to the mailbox, and along my route I saw a Copperhead snake. For those who are uninformed about this particular snake, it is venomous. A healthy adult probably will not die from the bite, providing that they receive medical attention promptly. However, children, and elderly, will find the bite far more deadly. Not to mention pets. Everyone on my street has dogs, and I have cats as well. Additionally my neighbor is in his 80’s, and he would probably find the bite life threatening.

So this snake was a danger to my pets, my neighbors, and the children who live a quarter mile away.

I pulled the pistol I habitually carry, and shot the snake. I was in my yard, in my neighborhood, if you can call it a neighborhood to live in such a rural area. Yet I was armed, because this is not the first wildlife threat I’ve found myself facing. We also have Wild Boar, which are very aggressive and potentially dangerous or deadly. Coyotes are heard from time to time as they roam along the wooded areas that take up a vast majority of the space out here.

I did not go looking for the snake. I did not go out of my way searching for it. I found it on my normal path, walking to the mailbox in my rural area, on my land. In my yard, the area with grass and such.

So why carry a gun? Because if I had to turn around and rush to the house to get the pistol, the snake may have moved, and been difficult, or impossible to locate. Perhaps he would have returned to the woods, where I sometimes walk, to check the property, but never in a hunting frame of mind. That snake might have bitten my dog, my cats, or my neighbors pets. It might have bitten my neighbor, the old man who has his mailbox positioned next to mine. It might have bitten a child. The best you could hope for is an expensive trip to the Emergency Room, sucking your cash out to pay for the care you would need to minimize the danger.

There is much truth in the old saying. It is better to have, and not need, than to need and not have. There are. Probably a dozen more Copperheads within two hundred yards of where I sit. In the woods, or marshy areas. Hunting and living, and just as much of a danger to the neighborhood as the one I shot. I did not break the law. In Georgia, you can kill venomous snakes, but not non venomous snakes. The experts tell you to take two steps back, and run away if you come across one. That is not my way. It leaves the problem for another. It leaves the danger for my 80 year old neighbor, his dog, or the dogs two doors down who meander over to say hello now and then.

It leaves the danger for the children, who ride their bikes up and down the dirt road.

So why do you need to carry a gun? Because there are more dangers than the odd robbery, or attempted murder. Because the world is filled with threats, two legged, four legged, and even no legs at all. With a gun, you have a much better chance of survival than without. With a gun, you do not guarantee survival, but you increase your odds dramatically.

Yes, accidents are going to happen, just as they do with cars and drivers. Yes, people are going to use the gun to criminally harm another. And yes, people who have guns are going to die before they can get the thing into play. I didn’t say it was a miracle answer, I just said it increases your odds of survival. No one can guarantee your safety or protection. The best that they, or I, can do is give you a fighting chance at survival. Be it from a Copperhead, or a Shitheaded thug. If you choose to take no action to protect yourself, that is your choice, and I’ll respect it. But do not try and take that right from others, because I won’t respect that.

Ridiculous sophistry.

No one ‘needs’ to carry a gun.

Carrying a concealed firearm is a subjective, personal preference.

Just as I carry a concealed firearm not out of ‘need’ but due to preference.

What a great reason for putting people n danger where you tote.

Funny I've had a CC permit for almost 34 years and no one has ever been "in danger" because I was carrying. In fact no one ever even knew I was carrying.

The fact is that most people who carry concealed firearms know that it is an awesome responsibility and people with concealed carry permits are some of the most law abiding people in the country.

I wouldn't let you near me, my family, my circle....people that do own guns, when they lose their temper more likely they will use....Stats are here to prove it....famillies slaughtered, co workers shot, kids shooting parents....it is an easy grab and harm others tools. You still don't believe me.compare murder rate in most countries that have restrictions on guns with the US. Fuck even presidents here got shot.

Hahahahaha I knew you gonna try and Google your way to it. I lived there half of my life and i visit frequently and here is what someone who loves both America and Morocco can tell you:

I RATHER be a woman in Morocco than in the US.
A little Moroccan girl can play in the streets without being kidnapped, raped and later killed (super rare)
Moroccan girls as little as 7 walk to school on their own without the fear of being kidnapped, unlike here.
Moroccan women dont get kidnapped raped, killed and buried as often and frequent as the US.
We have more women in our parliament than US women in congress.
You come to any Moroccan neighborhood you disrespect a female your ass get kicked....unlike here everyone wants to get under her panties.
We give our seats to women in buses and other places, we carry heavy loads for them AMD so forth....we respect our moms unlike here they get called bitches and all sorta names....if you disrespect woman in the street that's a pass to get your ass kicked.
I can go on and on.

You can go on and on all you like, but this link states differently.

You give your bus seats to women, for what, so they can be raped by teens and nobody does anything?

Yes, you have less crimes in Morocco because you have a population less than California. The US has nearly ten times that population. As for representation, Morocco has 21% of women in their parliament and the US Congress has 23%, so you fail on that claim as well.

Moroccan women don't get kidnapped, raped and beaten by strangers, yet it apparently happens all the time by their husbands and that's okay. Nobody is "kicking their ass."

According to Nationmaster, Morocco's crime RATE is 32% higher than the US.

It's not the paradise he said it was. He also told me he would rather be a woman in Morocco than a woman in the US. Goes to show his line of thinking.

Ever been there ? Is the most visited country in africa.
No mass shooting like the US.

It certainly shows too. I don't know anything about Morocco, but just doing a quick search, here is what I found:

Gender violence
Violence against Moroccan women remains widespread and a largely taboo subject in the country, according to research data.

In 2009, a national survey reported that 62.8 percent of women had experienced physical, psychological, sexual or economic abuse.

Of the sample interviewed, 55 percent reported "conjugal" violence and 13.5 percent reported "familial" violence.

It also became a hot issue last August after a video was posted on the internet showing a young woman on a bus being sexually molested by a group of boys while the driver and passengers ignored her appeals for help.

This sent shockwaves throughout the country and intensified calls for more to be done in the kingdom.

According to AFP news agency, about 1,600 cases of rape were heard by Moroccan courts last year, twice as many as previous years.

Morocco criminalises violence against women and sexual harassment

So it seems, you have a country of defenseless women who are constantly being abused. Furthermore as the article points out, this "new law" to protect women doesn't include spousal rape or abuse. It's apparently perfectly legal.

Here, a woman (wife or otherwise) not only has legal protection against a male, she also has firearm protection. And in our country, the law states that a person (in this case a woman) has the legal right to use deadly force against an attacker she believes will cause her serious bodily injury or death. Perfectly legal.

Maybe when you go back to Morocco, take a few guns back with you for your sisters and female cousins. I'm sure it will help them sleep better at night, just as our American females can thanks to the Second Amendment.

Have you ever visited ? No.
According to your crime master site which is not an anaccurate site.
Murder rate in the US is 29 times worse than Morocco. (Thanks to guns)

Intentional homicide the US is worse 3 times.
Rape rate in the US is a lot worse than moroco.
Kidnapping of young kids raping them and killing them is a lot higher in the US...because when one kid gets kidnapped in Morocco thr whole country stops....in the US is an hourly occurence.
Mass killing in the US is in the 100s of times, 0 in Morocco.

Keep on dreaming my kids ages 11 and 12 can take the bus and travel through Casablanca unafraid cant do that here.

And again I love both countries but in terms of safety, no comparison at all.

And again I'm not saying there are no crimes, there are but lot of pity crimes....here in the US there is no mercy, they slaughter the elderly, kids, you name it. Most of our thieves still have a bit of morals I guess.
And by the way Morocco was the first country to recognize the independence of the US and offer it its first building outside the US....be grateful and sont thank me for educating you.

Morrocco scores very low on every measure of civil liberties compared to the US. Freedom of the press, religion and political expression is limited as are women and children's rights.

Oh, most visited country in Africa? WTF goes to Africa?

Have you ever visited ? No.

To be honest, I don't think anybody in the US wants to visit Morocco. WTF is over there that anybody would want to see or experience? My site is inaccurate but proof of that is your denial?

Learn to do the math. Our murder rate is not 29 times worse than Morocco unless you are talking the entire population of the US which is ten times that of Morocco. Per capita, the murder rate in Morocco is something like 1.3 per 100,000 whereas in the US, it's 3.5. That's not 29 times.

If husband rape is not even against the law in Morocco, how could any country have less rapes than that place?

Be grateful that Morocco offered the US the first building outside our country? WTF would care about that? What did that ever do for us?

hahaha nobody wants to visit Morocco from the US? are you nuts?
Morocco is the most visited country in Africa, Morocco was the home to the meeting of Eisenhower, Chruchill, and CDG.
Morocco is full of historical glorious monuments from the Moors era.
Morocco is home to many american Movies (Black hawk down, the Mummy, Lawrence of Arabia, prince of Persia, The bourne Ultimatum, Days of Glory, Mary mother of Christ, Kingdom of heaven and tons and i mean tons of great movies)
Morocco is the home of the atlas mountains, the Sahara with Its oasis's , the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, Fez, Marrakesh, Casablanca, Tangiers and much more.
Morocco has one of the most beautiful mountains, the Sahara, 3 climates, snow you name it and Morocco got it.

And yes the US still has a higher murder rate in the folds than Morocco....a murder in Morocco is covered 24 hours and the country is in shock no so much in the US.
Oh so now you hiding behind the marital rape? LOL.....how the fuck one suppose to prove that?
What about the kids that get kidnapped on daily basis here in the US raped an burried? no mention from you?

Violent crimes, murder rates, rape the US is a lot worse than Morocco...so what's the point?
and enjoy why Morocco is the most visited country in Africa.....that's why you trump supporter are blind sided and mostly racist, because you are close minded and have no clue about other cultures, the world and humanity outside of your little white circle.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Not long ago, I walked to the mailbox, and along my route I saw a Copperhead snake. For those who are uninformed about this particular snake, it is venomous. A healthy adult probably will not die from the bite, providing that they receive medical attention promptly. However, children, and elderly, will find the bite far more deadly. Not to mention pets. Everyone on my street has dogs, and I have cats as well. Additionally my neighbor is in his 80’s, and he would probably find the bite life threatening.

So this snake was a danger to my pets, my neighbors, and the children who live a quarter mile away.

I pulled the pistol I habitually carry, and shot the snake. I was in my yard, in my neighborhood, if you can call it a neighborhood to live in such a rural area. Yet I was armed, because this is not the first wildlife threat I’ve found myself facing. We also have Wild Boar, which are very aggressive and potentially dangerous or deadly. Coyotes are heard from time to time as they roam along the wooded areas that take up a vast majority of the space out here.

I did not go looking for the snake. I did not go out of my way searching for it. I found it on my normal path, walking to the mailbox in my rural area, on my land. In my yard, the area with grass and such.

So why carry a gun? Because if I had to turn around and rush to the house to get the pistol, the snake may have moved, and been difficult, or impossible to locate. Perhaps he would have returned to the woods, where I sometimes walk, to check the property, but never in a hunting frame of mind. That snake might have bitten my dog, my cats, or my neighbors pets. It might have bitten my neighbor, the old man who has his mailbox positioned next to mine. It might have bitten a child. The best you could hope for is an expensive trip to the Emergency Room, sucking your cash out to pay for the care you would need to minimize the danger.

There is much truth in the old saying. It is better to have, and not need, than to need and not have. There are. Probably a dozen more Copperheads within two hundred yards of where I sit. In the woods, or marshy areas. Hunting and living, and just as much of a danger to the neighborhood as the one I shot. I did not break the law. In Georgia, you can kill venomous snakes, but not non venomous snakes. The experts tell you to take two steps back, and run away if you come across one. That is not my way. It leaves the problem for another. It leaves the danger for my 80 year old neighbor, his dog, or the dogs two doors down who meander over to say hello now and then.

It leaves the danger for the children, who ride their bikes up and down the dirt road.

So why do you need to carry a gun? Because there are more dangers than the odd robbery, or attempted murder. Because the world is filled with threats, two legged, four legged, and even no legs at all. With a gun, you have a much better chance of survival than without. With a gun, you do not guarantee survival, but you increase your odds dramatically.

Yes, accidents are going to happen, just as they do with cars and drivers. Yes, people are going to use the gun to criminally harm another. And yes, people who have guns are going to die before they can get the thing into play. I didn’t say it was a miracle answer, I just said it increases your odds of survival. No one can guarantee your safety or protection. The best that they, or I, can do is give you a fighting chance at survival. Be it from a Copperhead, or a Shitheaded thug. If you choose to take no action to protect yourself, that is your choice, and I’ll respect it. But do not try and take that right from others, because I won’t respect that.

Ridiculous sophistry.

No one ‘needs’ to carry a gun.

Carrying a concealed firearm is a subjective, personal preference.

Just as I carry a concealed firearm not out of ‘need’ but due to preference.

What a great reason for putting people n danger where you tote.

Funny I've had a CC permit for almost 34 years and no one has ever been "in danger" because I was carrying. In fact no one ever even knew I was carrying.

The fact is that most people who carry concealed firearms know that it is an awesome responsibility and people with concealed carry permits are some of the most law abiding people in the country.

I wouldn't let you near me, my family, my circle....people that do own guns, when they lose their temper more likely they will use....Stats are here to prove it....famillies slaughtered, co workers shot, kids shooting parents....it is an easy grab and harm others tools. You still don't believe me.compare murder rate in most countries that have restrictions on guns with the US. Fuck even presidents here got shot.

I have some bad news for ya, and that is people are around you with guns all the time.

You remind me of an elderly lady I was talking to at the grocery store while waiting in a long line a few years back. Somehow the subject of concealed carry came up with the lady and her daughter behind me, I and another customer were contributing the the chat.

It wasn't real serious and everybody was very nice, but the elderly lady said that citizens with guns scare her. I told her that there are people with guns--probably in the grocery store right now, and she would never know! She doubted my claim saying she could recognize a person who was armed fifty feet away.

So I smiled and asked "Am I a person who is armed?" She laughed and said "No you are not. You're too nice!" Then I opened my jacket. In the colder months, I use a shoulder holster. She just formed an O with her mouth as if she was going to scream, but laughed quickly afterwards.

She asked "Why are you carrying that thing?" I said "In case a bad guy comes in this store carrying the same thing. God forbid it happen, but if it did, you'll be glad your behind me in this line."

I think it gave her something to think about.

Why do you need to carry a gun?

I am a Libertarian, an ethical one, but if someone potentially violent enters my home without permission, i have a nice pistol that will defend. I have no problem using it if necessary. I believe in the death penalty for those who are obviously guilty.
However, I have no need to carry a gun in public ... yet.
