James, they'd have to be pointing that gun at me with intent to shoot me or yanking me out of the car with deadly intent before they'd ever see the gun.
In all seriousness, I would hope I never have to discharge that weapon at anything except a paper target... Or a zombie.
EJ, ban guns and the thugs will not comply. We are way past that idea as a solution.

That's why you have law enforcement units.
Anyway, I don't want to ignite a firearms legislation debate, that is not the place for it

Then you shouldn't have made such an idiotic statement here.
You don't get to say something inflammatory and then cry "this isn't the place".

I would argue his statement is not idiotic at all, but in fact, quite true. But then again, I'm writing this from Canada, where we have very strict gun laws....which results in very low gun violence.
I also agree that no good can come from debating this here....this is a topic where logic steps out and emotion steps in.

Well here we go
Decided to drive the 911 to work about 30 min drive. a hole decided to ride my tail, so I ignored him (good for me) he then passed me on the shoulder (nice) nice single finger suggestions not watching the road and at the last moment he saw the cop car braked but to late. Blue lights and he I think he is still explaining what his grand master plan was to drive on the shoulder. Karma is a real MF.

Not at all. Idiotic because only idiots think disarming law abiding citizens who aren't committing crimes will keep the bad guys from doing wrong.

And allowing "law abiding citizens" to own firearms prevent "bad guys from doing wrong"? Do I have to understand that "more arms = less crime"?

It's actually a fact in many major cities, but likely has more to do with wealth in certain areas and demographics than the concealed or open carried gun.
