That's where my Loaded Ruger 22 rifle with 22 rounds between my bed and the wall comes into play!
If I Felt I had to carry a Pistol in my town I would move!

You've taken responsibility for your own safety; WAY cool!

[rpatsh]

I would rather have my gun and not need it then to need it and not have it.
Gun is like a parachute if you don't have it when you need it you'll never need it again.

[Bob Denman]

Everbody who carries; should view the video that CruzrJoe posted earlier today...

[Dan McNally]

There are fewer than 100 homes in my development . . . and just last year there were three attempted home invasions . . . damn right, I carry.

Thursday morning at SpyderFest I'm planning to check out the Lead Mine State Forest Shooting Range. Threefeet and I went to the Andy Dalton Range last year.
It looks to be a nice ride in the country too. It's NNE of Springfield.

And I Carry.....

Likewise here in the UK. Here not even the police here are armed with anything more than a truncheon most of the time. Even carrying a knife here will get you arrested. Carrying a gun, even a 22 will get you five years in jail. Some of you may find that madness, but it's why no one gets shot here and on the odd occasion they do it's headline news.

Interesting, since the real crime rate in the UK has soared since confication. Crimes are just not reported to a centeral office, soi the official rate is down.

Why do people carry ?? Some thugs think it is a game to just run and hit people, the so called knock out game. Peopl hurt or killed. Just on example. The media loves to yell when a person got shot about unneeded violence. Just because he was kicking in the front door and waving a gun around does seem to matter to them.

This statement was made and is true. The only thing that will stop a bad guy (or gal) with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Theat good guy could be a Policemena or a trained person with a weapon.
The part of the statement is The Police are only minutes away, when the bad guy is 10 seconds from killing or raping a person.
Gun control laws only hurt law abiding citizens. Crooks do not follow the law.

Same here and we're in a nice neighborhood.


My take on the UK being deemed as so non violent is that it is just covered up better so the general public doesn't know what is really going on.

They try that here, but if you search a bit you can see what really goes on around your neighborhood.

I live in Michigan ,and I carry.

Im glad you are prepared to defend yourself and your family in your home. But if you felt you had to carry, you would move, then why wouldnt you move if you felt (and you obviously do) need to keep a loaded 22 by your bed? Same thing IMO!

Also, no one said the felt they HAD to carry. They CHOOSE to.

What a great video!

Very nice video message. I carry also. No Offense, but can this site be devoted to loving Can Am Spyders. I like seeing message about the Spyders we all own and what we can do to improve our ride along with adding new fracklers....

[Jeriatric]

How many Non Leos here have ever used a weapon to stop a crime, or hold a criminal, until a Leo could intervene?

Not taking a side. Just asking a question.

[Jeriatric]

I guess it all depends on which side you "want" to believe.

Am down with all the stats. Just asked a simple question.

Each country has its laws and constitutions. I like ours here in Canada, but respect those in other countries! That is just the way it is!

[JkRbbt]

I don't feel like I have to carry with all you folks out there ready to protect me! Sometimes I feel like, if I showed up at a Spyder rally, I would be the only one NOT carrying, well unless you consider that flask in my hip pocket!

Jer:

Depends on the definitions.

I came out of a Wal Mart to find a guy sitting on my Spyder RT. His wife was standing beside him telling him to get off. I could see he was high on something so I put down my packages and zippered open my jacket.

Politely, I told him to get off the Spyder and pulled my jacket back to reveal my weapon.

He wasn't attempting to steal my Spyder and I'm not sure what he was doing counts as an illegal act. (Trespassing, maybe?).

His wife screamed, 'he's got a gun, Wayne!.

Whereupon Wayne tried to jump off but caught his foot on the passenger handle, failing on his face in the parking lot. Wayne and wife then raced out of the lot with wife trying to stem the blood flow with kleenex.

Now, I really didn't use the weapon, I just revealed it. Given this did not appear to be any kind of life-threatening situation, I doubt I would have unholstered it.

No LEO was involved although a spectator said she was ready to make a call if things got out of hand.

Don't waste time bringing a weapon to the dance, if you're not prepared to take it to the final step...
You will hesitate when the hits the fan, and your opponent may not!
Simple combat training: Aim for the center of mass, and don't stop pulling the trigger until the other party has ceased to be a potential for danger.

this board is about Spyders, and with the history of threads about guns (and other things) turning ugly. Makes me wonder why people continue to agitate this board with threads like this.

[Blue Star]

Folks can be civil. There's usually only a hand full of minorities who don't like a conversation and instead of ignoring cry foul.

That said, this is by far the most civil forum I've ever been on. It's why I'm still here, even though I no longer own a Spyder. It's fun to lurk and have conversations with good people.

Folks can (and should) be civil, but in the four years I have been reading this board. I have yet to see a thread on the rights to carry stay civil. I hope this thread proves me wrong.
