.....and I carry.

[Tazzel]

Who said that?
We go out armed; to feel prepared for whatever may happen...
You might hit an animal with your vehicle, and it needs to be put out of it's misery... (three times in 42 years of driving)
It's not all about shooting a "bad guy"...

If that were really true, then use a rock

 

[Bob Denman]

Have you ever tried to beat a deer to death with a rock? :shocked:

 

[shelbydave]

If that were really true, then use a rock

So the answer to putting a suffering animal out of it's misery is to hit it some more? :dontknow:

Note this item about my neighbor. I'm sure if she had thrown a rock at him it would have really helped.

By the way the response time from law enforcement was ten minutes from the time her husband called 911. The average response time in our area is fifteen minutes. I can have my weapon in my hand in fifteen seconds.... I like my odds better on my timetable.

If It's not your thing; That's cool... :thumbup:
But there's no need to feel sorry for anybody.
By the way: When's the last time you had a Law Enforcement Officer stop a burglar, while he was still in your house?

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! :clap: :2thumbs:

 

[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... :clap: :2thumbs: nojoke

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.....:doorag:

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.

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.

 

[Biggdogg22]

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....

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.
