What is wrong with people?

[PitOnTheProwl]

i live in a state where i can obtain a permit and conceal carry everywhere i go in the state. just waiting for someone to try to force me to the side of the road with my family in the car. they wont know what hit 'em till a .40 hollowpoint rips through them.

i know not everyone has the same views with LEGALLY CARRIED weapons as i do but something you can agree with is....its population control for the next episode of "when the crazies attack" lol

Haha, yeah Northeast Pa, luzerne county actually, and Bob has his concealed carry permit, and on my 21st bday this is what Im going to get ( not out and plastered lol) he just didnt have his .45acp, ( which Im actually happy about, or this would have gone alot worse )

These are the reasons A LOT of people look for to BAN FIREARMS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do I carry? Yes
Is it loaded? Yes
Does it go everywhere with me? Yes
Am I licensed? NO, thank Texas for the "Castle Clause"
Does that justify shooting an idiot? NO!!!!!

All state laws specify that "You MUST be in fear of your life OR defending someone's life. An ignorant, self centered driver cannot justifiably be shot at! Besides the fact that I doubt many of you have not done any tactical shooting, much less from a moving vehicle. Its not as easy as it looks in the movies. Then when (not if) you miss and hit someone else, you now can be legally shot by them for putting them in fear of their life but disarming in their direction
I could go on and on about this subject but it will probably fall on def ears OR on a hardened below the belt ego that thinks it needs inflation.

The reason for my little winky face was to try and make it a joke....I mean really, we both have gone through training ( none of it "tactical" however ) and I agree people dont realize that shooting is harder than it looks. I hear you, I know the law. I studied it for 3 years ( highschool but still)

My comment wasnt meant to be seen as " OH WELLZ WE WOULDA POPPED A CAP IN THAT GUY, BUT WE DIDNT HAZ OUR GATT"

I mean..really? We arent that uneducated and ignorant to the facts, or common sense. If my comment came of egotistical or any other way than a joke Im sorry and would like to clear that up. Meaning that yes we ( well him, me in a year) have our concealed permits, yes he does ( and I will ) carry our weapons, NO we will not just pull them out like 1/2 of the raving fools with guns these days. Unless my life is in serious danger, I will not even acknowledge that I have it.

Off we go, into the wild blue yonder.....

It's not the guys like you who give pause for thought. You've obviously given thought, done some research, utilized more than a single struggling oxygen deprived brain cell, to decide what and how to carry. Well done. Really. Polar opposite of the guy bragging about waiting to commit murder.

I don't have problem with guns, nor how they're carried. It's just the people who have them that give me food for thought. Sometimes it's kinda scary.

Bad guys and idiots will always do what they shouldn't, be it carrying concealed or possessing at all. Good guys will suffer for it. Same in the reptile world. Same in many arenas.

I'm just glad there are guys like you out there to balance the scale. Thanks.

And thanks for the compliments too. Sometimes I have to re-read myself to understand me.

Nice to see that you and I can agree on something for once
(dont tell anyone though)

ok, i did not intend for people to look so far into my post. I DONT sit back and wait for some schmuck that doesnt know how to drive to run me off the road to shoot him. It wasnt intended to be "bragging about waiting to commit murder". My statement "force me to the side of the road with my family in the car." wasnt talking about people who cant drive, it was referencing someone that may mistake my vehicle with some idiot they had a confrontation with before and feel like "forcing" them to the side of the road to jerk them out of the car and beat the hell out of them, and they have the wrong people but dont take the time to notice. I wouldn't pull my weapon out and flash it to intimidate anyone, or try to shoot someone while im trying to drive. I would only pull my weapon in the case where i did fear for my life or feared for the life of someone else.

I dont carry my weapon to feel like i have a bigger penis than someone else. This is one reason why i carry it concealed and not out for everyone to see. I dont like someone treating me a certain way just because im carrying. I dont want anyone to fear me. Or to single me out because im carrying a weapon.

to pitontheprowl, I have done tactical shooting, but you are right, i havent done it from a moving vehicle. I also wouldnt be trying to shoot from a moving vehicle.


I do realize that my post was not worded as it probably could/should have been. Next time i will be more specific with what i mean, and will re-read what i have written prior to hitting the reply button.

Stupid people are the reason I don't carry a gun even though I have a license

[SilverDemon]

I live in Texas, so my views on gun carry are "if you're going to be responsible, go right ahead". I know people that hunt. I would love to go deer hunting in the future. I know how to shoot a 9mm and a shotgun (both from military training). I used to be proficient with a compound bow (I need to get back in practice).

But I will be the first to admit that not everyone should be allowed to handle a gun. Unfortunately, any gun laws just make it harder for law abiding citizens to own one, and criminals won't be affected (seriously, they aren't following the law anyways, why would more laws change that?).

And this thread should totally be renamed the 'rant about stupid people' thread.

Note: Yes, I am female. I never was very girly growing up. At all.

I've had firearms for years. In that time I have encountered numerous loud, obnoxious, mouthy jackasses--particularly when I tended bar. In that time I never discharged the weapon in defense and drew my gun only once, when an inebriated jerk came in and pulled a knife. He decided to go upon his way posthaste. The barrel of a 45 Colt New Service, my under the bar weapon of choice, has a mighty sobering hole at the business end.

I would never shoot someone for being an obnoxious jackass. Heck, most of my friends are obnoxious jackasses and I can be an obnoxious jackass at times. But if it comes down to a real threat to my life it's hooray for me and sucks to be you all the way. I figure that is what weapons are made for--actual threats to ones life, not shooing off annoyances.
