YES!!! I HATE football and I totally agree that the drunk english fans are like children.

So if someone attacks you with a knife and you take your gun out, then what? You just shoot them in the face?

I get guns for the purpose of hunting, that one is pretty obv, but I fail to see how its fun or protection. Arnt you going to get arrested if you actually shoot the attacker?

If youve never shot one, then you wouldnt understand the fun part. So dont knock it if you aint tried it. If you have tried it, and didnt fin it fun, then different strokes for different folks i suppose.

I think its pretty obvious how they work for protection. Wont even try to explain that one.

No, if you shoot an attacker, and it is clearly self-defense, you will not get arrested. As long as you are carrying the gun legally.

Its a difference in culture, which is something that cannot be properly explained or argued, so its probably best just to agree to disagree.

EDIT: you wouldnt get arrested in most parts of the USA anyhow.
