Concealed Carry Law - My bet is most A&A players are for it.

Concealed carry permits are a tool for law abiding citizens to let police know that they are protecting them selves without appearing aggressive. It is perfectly legal for me to walk down my street with my pistol hanging off of my belt. However I choose to be less conspicuous.

Criminals do not obey the gun laws we already have, so why make more laws that that only victims will bother to obey?

Exactly, what kind of a criminal will rob a store with a baseball bat instead of a gun because using the gun to do it is illegal?

You don’t belive that the armed American Population can stop the American Army?

!st of all I was in the military and let me assure you that the majoraty of the US military would not turn on the population even though we swore to in the oath of inlistment.

And second, The American Population is better armed than the Army of North Vietnam was. I think that says enough.

Concealed weapons? I’m against it. If everyone had a gun hanging on their hips, crime would go way down…though kids shooting themselves will go up. but its worth it.

HFW- thats called darwinisam. Parents need to be more responsable, there were many guns in my house as a kid and buy some miracle I survived.

In case anyone is curious I own 4 shotguns 9 rifles and 2 handguns.

The dumb kids die and the smart ones survive who listen to Billy the NRA Bald Eagle. I like your thinking!

PErsonally I want to gewt a gun or so, but for these reasons:

I want to own military collectibles. My father’s dream is to own a buffalo ranch and a dodge viper, mine is to own a MP44 and a MG 42

I want a gun with blanks so when I am confronted with violent animals i can scare them off (like those a**hole dogs with no leash.)

And if my government went out of control (hell, if hillary is elected president), I want my gun.

Though I am against assault rifles until they become “antiques.” Also, I don’t like hunting besides when it is used for population control (it’s coming right for us! errr, we’re thinning out their numbers!)

Holy sh*t! Thats a lot of guns.
My Dad had a shotgun around when i was growing up, if i even got near it, my Dad would whip my ass.

We have guns in my household but they are all locked up and the key is hidden. But I have no reason to use them, so you may all return to your comfort zone.

to defend yourself, why would you need more than one?

I only use three of them for self defence.
I carry a hand gun I have a handgun that my wife can carry if she chooses to and I have an AK-47 in my bedroom in case of a home invasion robery. The rest are for hunting or collectables.

Ha! You seriously have an AK-47 in your bedroom?? LOL I’d love to see the look on THAT robber’s face when he walks into your room to see ya standin there in your robe with an AK-47 pointed at him. What kind of handgun do you carry?

Wow,
it’s lucky you have that ak-47. I mean, what happens if you get broken into and you can’t find any of your other guns? Well, at least you have the ol’ AK-47 handy.
Naturally all of those other guns will come in handy when the American Army invades . . . America?
There’s something wrong with this picture. Shouldn’t Canadians be arming themselves in case the American army invades Canada?
is it just me, or is this a little excessive and weird?

CC- I guess that may seem funny to you, But home invasion roberies are becoming more common here. There was an instance a couple years ago were a group of people broke in to some one’s house in the middle of the night wearing bullet proof vests and killed the two occupants of the house in a gunfight through their bedroom door. I began to keep my AK in my bedroom arter that.

I originaly bought the AK because it is fun to shoot, and I still think so. It is one of the three guns that are not locked up in my house.

As I said before my other guns have other purposes. I have an M1 garand and a K98 which are collectable’s

I also Different types of birds which require differnet types of Shotguns. The same goes for big game hunting and rifles.

I do have some guns that I don’t use but have sentamental value, for instance the shotgun my father bought for me when I was 10 years old.

I carry a Colt Compact .45 ACP

Have any of you seen that video of that North Hollywood (I think) shootout, after a bank robbery? The one where there’s two guys in full body armor, with AK’s. That was pretty nuts. Do any of you own air guns? I’m 16, so I’ve owned plenty of those rather than real guns. The most I’ve had at once was 4 airguns…we used to have pellet gun wars all the time, but stopped after I shot my brother in the knuckle (we didnt wear any protective things, not even goggles…so I guess it was GOOD that my brother got shot in the knuckle before one of us got shot in the face)

xi- I live in Phoenix, AZ and it is not at all uncommon to see someone walking down the street with a gun. Although since we got the concealed permit law you see less. :wink:

Why is crap censored? I am 17 and I don’t have any guns myself, although my father will let me use a gun anytime I want. I currently own a paintball gun. I go paintballing every once in a while because it is too damn expesive. It is like a mini war with bullets that give you wealts.

i’m curious - does anyone know the gun-legislation up here in Canada? i mean, there’s gotta’ be something, or is Xi right? 'cuz there are a lot fewer slayings with guns here on a per pop basis (i.e. compare Toronto or Winnipeg to cities of equal pops).
at any rate dezrtfish, that’s crazy. home invasions with bulletproof jackets.
mind you - my uncle was the ambassador to Columbia, and he went around with his own little army, so i can understand the need in some circumstances.

Disclamer- I am going for paintball next month in Cordes Junction if you are interested send me an e-mail. What do you use? I have an old raptor, but I go with skill over equipment :wink: I also where a WWII german SS camo shmock (sp)

anyway let me know if you need a few “fruit loops” william.cook@wsfp.com

I’m with dezrtfish on this one, but being a member of the NRA, who wouldn’t? :smile:

“Weapons are considered to be the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalize in another way, too. It insures that you are in some ways equal to a criminal that also carries a weapon.

Despite this, some people apparently think that criminals will be willing to give up their guns if carrying them is against the law. What naiveté! Our nation was build and civilized by men and women who used guns in self-defense and in pursuit of peace. One wonders indeed, if the rising crime rate, isn’t due as much as anything to the criminal’s instinctive knowledge that the average victim no longer has means of self protection.

No one knows how many people have been left alone because the criminals knew that the person might be carrying a concealed gun and knew how to use it. Criminals are not dissuaded by soft words, soft judges or easy laws. They are dissuaded by fear of the unknown and they are prevented from repating their crimes by death or by incarceration.”
