[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of guns being carried on Metro already. By criminals.

I’m confused as to why allowing people who are [i]known[/i] non-criminals who have gone to the considerable trouble/training of acquiring a permit to legally carry a gun makes you frightened. Because frankly, it doesn’t make any sense. The people most likely to rob/assault/shoot you are already carrying their guns on the train/bus with you right now. Like RIGHT NOW.

The people LEAST likely to rob/assault/shoot you are the ones you feel you should fear the most?

Apply some critical thinking here. [/quote]

How many of them are meat-head vigilante-wannabes who will start shooting in a crowded train "to protect people"?

The amount of training is nowhere near enough to prepare someone for an active shooting.

I'm not going to stop taking metro because of them, but they sure aren't making me feel safer.[/quote]

And your credentials to make this judgement are what?

Countless federal agents, military personnel and on and off duty members of the plethora of police agencies in and around DC already travel armed on Metro in DC. People in MD and VA already travel armed on Metro there. Some of them are better trained (even significantly better trained) than the aforementioned law enforcement personnel. As PP pointed out, there is no shortage of armed, violent criminals on the Metro in DC.

You question my credentials but then can't count how many (legally?) armed people are already riding metro.

If there actually we're that many armed superheroes riding metro then why the concern about criminals?

You just have vigilante fantasy. Keep it in your bedroom.[/quote]

DP, and I question your creds.

I’ve only met a single (one!) LEO who could shoot better than me. A Federal Air Marshall. I’ve placed higher than every LEO I ever shot a IDPA match against except one.

Does that make up for your little penis?[/quote]

Ah, juvenile personal insults — the typical response of a DCUMoron who has nothing better to say.[/quote]
