DO YOU OWN ONE?

[SIXFOOTERsez]

America has had an on-going love affair with firearms~~and supporters like to spout that they need them to protect their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and in some cases this is so.You call it a Love Affair, I call it responsible gun ownership and training
However, in most cases the carrying of firearms by our "citizens" more often results in the taking away the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness from others.They may be Citizens, but 99% of them are just criminals with a gun and no CCW, CCW people are not the ones commiting crimes
Do you think the number of people carrying firearms to protect themselves is that successful? Yes, How often do you hear of a CCW person being mugged?
More often, the weapon is in the hands of the bad guys. True, so get the criminals off the streets, there are a lot fewer of them than there guns
Yikes! My area permits concealed weapons and a local restaurant here has posted a "no weapons" sign in front (they do sell alcohol). I personally do not want to be around someone who is drinking and
carrying a weapon. Most states that issue a CCW already prohibit carrying and drinking, you get your CCW revoked and you go to jail if caught drunk and carrying and we know this as it is part of the CCW training. Also, Federal law already prohibits carrying a weapon anywhere that serves mostly alcohol.
No wonder USA has such a high number of fatalities via guns. In and around the city, there have been numerous shots in the dark, shots at stoplights, shots at people walking, running. driving, sitting and minding their own business. Again, get the criminals off the street, get involved, report assholes on the street, arm and train responsible citizens, support the police instead of calling them pigs.
Recently a road rage incident involving two men resulted in one shooting the other. (He died) Is this what you mean when you say you need to protect your right to life, etc. Did either one of them have a CCW? I doubt it, so they started the day br breaking existing laws by carrying in the first place. Its not the guns, its the criminals
