This is how ridiculous you toters are.
You can't admit that a person carrying a loaded weapon in public poses a risk.
Either you are lying (again).
Or you are so fucking stupid that you don't think a loaded gun is a potential hazard if it is mishandled. In which case you have no respect for the gun & should not be handling it.
This is how ridiculous you gun control nutters are.
You can't admit that the "risk" posed by people who legally carry is far less than that posed by any number of circumstances you accept without question every day.
Either you are suffering from paranoid delusion or . . . there actually isn't any other option I can see.
You are in far more danger every single day from every single person driving a car in your vicinity. I note that you are not frantically trying to prevent people from driving cars around you to "protect your safety". That gun in your hypothetical of us walking somewhere next to each other is far less likely to suddenly go off and shoot you than my car is to develop a mechanical failure and run into your car as we're driving along beside each other. And any "toter" you'd care to name is less likely to suddenly pull the gun and shoot you than at least half of the people driving on any given road are to make a bonehead mistake and hit you.
Just as I have been a victim of the violent crime you so airily assure me A) will never happen, and B) I would be "safer" just facing defenseless than attempting to protect myself, I have also been hit by a car simply because the driver carelessly didn't think to look to her right for pedestrians before pulling out of a parking lot driveway.
You know what I HAVEN'T been? Shot, or even shot at, by someone carrying a licensed firearm. Haven't even had such a firearm waved in my general direction.
I have had a Colt Peacemaker held to my forehead by a fruitcake that had designs on my wife (I didn't know he had at the time). I calmly told him to either pull the trigger or put it away. It unhinged him to the point he went to bed and stayed there. I was not that far off from returning from South East Asia so my brain was not exactly normal at the time. BTW, he ended up with the wife. I should have sent him a thank you not and a box of 45 long colts. Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.
Don't you even tell anyone that they have never been faced with anything. You are just blowing shit out your blow hole. There is no law that says this nutcase can't have a weapon but, trust me, there should be. He thought it was going to be funny. Most people would have panicked. I went completely devoid of emotion and was weighing my options including killing him. He uncocked the weapon, broke down, dropped the weapon and went directly to bed where he broke down all the way. Even to this day, I can't believe that something like this could ever happen. Insanity at it's worst. And to think we allow nut cases like that to have guns.
Was I addressing you? No? Then don't YOU even get up in my face about "telling anyone anything".
Furthermore, Mr. I'm So Fucking Tough When I'm Addressing Women On the Internet, I am not your fucking therapist, I did not ask for your longwinded tale of what you imagine to be "manliness", and now that you have told me anyway, I do not care. I suggest that you waste the time of someone who's being paid to pretend not to roll her eyes at your bullshit; therapist or hooker, take your pick. "I went completely devoid of emotion". Yeah, and then you singlehandedly got all the POWs out of Vietnam while looking remarkably like Sylvester Stallone. What-the fuck-ever.
Further-furthermore, I will tell anyone I want anything I want any time I want, and it will never cross my mind once to ask your permission to do so or to give a fat rat's furry ass whether or not you give it.
