[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, not at all. More "ordinary citizens" should be armed, instead of being so terrified of guns as you are. The problem is that a lot of good people are too scared to take classes and get themselves familiar with firearms, so the proportion of criminals/nutjobs who are armed to the good people who are armed is way out of whack.

Me? I have a concealed carry permit, and I don't usually carry a gun on me, because I have young children, but I like to know I'm allowed. Also, I am educated about how to use the firearm should I ever need to, and therefore not afraid. I like to think that evens the playing field a little bit.  [/quote]

Kinda sounds strange. But agree. Criminals would think twice before trying to victimize someone if they thought for a second there could be fatal retaliation. They count on others not being armed.[/quote]

"Fatal retaliation" for [i]what[/i], exactly? You can't shoot somebody if they snatch your purse, or you catch them trying to swipe your wallet. It's such nonsense. If a mugger surprises you by pointing a gun at you, are you really going to pull out your gun and get into a gun fight with him/her? No, it's too risky. You'd probably get shot first, because the mugger has the advantage of surprise. Are you going to shoot the criminal in the back as he/she is running away? No, that would be stupid, because you'd be arrested and held accountable. There are very few perfect situations that would allow you to actually defend yourself with a gun. You have a false sense of security. [/quote]
