[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you really prepared to end someone's life? That's a bold move to make. [/quote]

OP here. I really appreciate this question. I have thought about this a lot since deciding to carry. If it is my only option to protect myself or my family, yes. And still, I know my life would be changed forever. It's a terrible but important thought exercise I think anyone making the choice to carry should undertake with seriousness. I have decided I could live with myself and my actions under a narrow set of circumstances. [/quote]

Is it just for someone stealing your wallet to die? [/quote]

Yes. If they stick a gun in my face to do so. What a moronic question. [/quote]

Enough of this “no one deserves to die for sealing a wallet” bs. How ‘bout no one deserves to die for being the victim of a random senseless crime?  How ‘bout that?

Unpopular opinion: some people are more trouble than they’re worth and the world IS better off without them. [/quote]

That is how I feel about people like you.  Interesting.[/quote]

Can you expand on that?  Im interested in hearing the why. [/quote]

I don't want to live in a militarized society where we're all threatening to shoot each other.  There are serious issues to address, but the whole "an armed society is a polite society" is a lot of BS that the world would be better off without.  We can actually be polite to each other for positive reasons.[/quote]

I think your post confuses the right of every decent person to the efficacious means of self defense with the military use of firearms. People with firearms does not constitute “militarization.”  And I don’t think “we’re all threatening to shoot each other.”  No one can deny that there are unspeakably violent, evil, recidivist criminal predators in society, or that they look for the weakest possible victims. Going armed against becoming the victim of such a person is a perfectly reasonable precaution. Licensed gun carriers, who commit crime at lower frequency than police officers, tend to be very polite because they do not want to become involved in a shooting incident unless absolutely necessary.  Conflict avoidance is part of a standard carry permit training course. [/quote]
