MOBass Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 So why do you carry? Do you really feel that unsafe? Personal responsibility. The same reason I wear a seat belt, lock my doors, maintain my vehicle, provide for my family.... I am responsible for the safety of myself and family. I will find the best tools to do so and work to develop my use of those tools so that I can use them in an effective manner. That could be punching the quick key for 911, crossing the street to avoid an unsavory character, to the use of force in the necessary defense of myself and loved ones. You assume that the only tool is a hammer and therefor everything appears to be a nail. Not the case.
MOBass Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Be a heck of a good start. Their firearms homicide rate per 100,000 people is a small fraction of what it is here in the U.S. If they have a good start what should be done to further it?

fishinwrench Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I love shotguns, rifles, and sporting pistols/revolvers....but I hate hand sized short barreled guns and assault rifles that are strictly designed for shooting people with. They could all be melted down for scrap as far as I'm concerned. Nothing but trouble. Terrierman and Daryk Campbell Sr 2
MOPanfisher Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 One thing I am sure of is that criminals will be criminals even if all firearms were to suddenly vanish from the face of the earth. The same types of crimes would still occur, just with different weapons.
mjk86 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Lots of "closet" anti-gun boys in this thread. If you dont want to carry open, or concealed, then be a victim. Its probably in the best interest of society anyways, due to your lack of training, knowledge of guns, how to safely handle one, but dont sit in your closet, and think that because you are incapable of carrying a firearm, that others are in your same "closet" At times i read these fishing threads, and think what idiots there are in this world, but some of those "you negative, anti-gun posters" that are posting in this thread make those fishing threads non-existent. Im trained, a gun instructor, years of law enforcement experience, hunted since i could hold my own bb gun, and can outshoot most of you on here, and to read some jack snif say there is never a good reason to CC, is about a stupid a comment ive read anywhere. Your right, its not for you. But there are those in this world that are capable, and yes, can save the day when things turn sour. Silly boys NO closet anti gun sentiment here...im 100% anti- handguns they have zero purpose in society. The are completely pointless other than to kill or maim other human beings. Nobody hunts with them. Rifles/shotguns no problem, i own a few hunting weapons myself. FYI...you dont have to be trained nearly as well as you are to carry a gun around...your the exception.

MOBass Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Ketchup, You are being very kind. It would be safe to say there are a number of posters in this thread that would have no qualms about stripping away rights and they would not stop with the 2nd Amendment. A few if given their ruthers would likely have gun owners rounded up and at best imprisoned. Frankly the way they think is frightening. The interesting thing is that I have a number of hobbies and I am seeing a steady leftist push in most every forum. Even the most non political threads become a platform for the anti liberty types. Someone said to me the other day....We ain't seen bad, but it's coming. rangerman and dtrs5kprs 2
Ketchup Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 mjk, I, as well as several family members and buddies have hunted with handguns for more years than weve hunted with rifles. Not to be a jerk, but it sounds luke your a city boy with no knowledge of firearms. Read, gain wisdom, go to a shooting range with an instructor, and open your eyes. You sound pretty nieve. dtrs5kprs, Greenheadrocker and rangerman 3 TinBoats BassClub. An aluminum only bass club. If interested in info send me a PM.
MOBass Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Why do you want to talk about what will never ever happen? As fishinwrench has said in another thread: pass Never is a long time. Look at the fundamental change in America that has taken place in such short order. So indulge us. What is your ideal and how would you achieve it?
