why one should ALWAYS carry your weapon

[RoyJackson]

I feel sad for you people that that are so concerned for your safety that
you have to carry a firearm
It is a sad state of affairs that this is necessary in a free country
Thank God I live in Canada
,not perfect but safer
I do not believe in gun control which is on the way out
but most people still have enough respect for others and the law

True...most people do have enough respect for others...the firearm is for those few who don't.

By your post, I think you have the impression that it's the Old West with folks walking around with a big ol' sixgun on their hip...that's not so.
If you walked down the street past me, you'd just see a mild mannered middle-aged guy...most likely wearing jeans or khaki trousers with a mid weight jacket (this time of year). You'd have no idea I'd have a 9mm pistol, a .380 pistol or a .38 snubby revolver on me (normally 2 of the handguns listed).
Same kind of guy you'd see walking down a street in Ottawa or Calgary...

British Justice:

Funny story :laughing:

British Justice: Shoot Criminals in Your Own Home and Go to Jail for Murder | LearnAboutGuns.com*

"When a pair of burglars broke in while he was home, Martin opened fire with a pump action shotgun."

"He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, although the conviction was later reduced to manslaughter with a 5 year sentence."

"The surviving criminal, who had over 30 criminal convictions, then sued Tony Martin for the injury he suffered during the burglary."

"The parole board refused to grant Tony Martin an early release because he "has shown no remorse and would continue to pose a danger to any other burglars. "

Of course, UK folks are generally weird because, Spotted Dick, really? :licking:

When enough criminals govern for long enough, isn't that what one would expect ? I thought that is why people braved crossing the Atlantic to come to the new world in the first place ? They just have a few hundred years on DC is all...

The law (as in police / cops) in this country is re-active, meaning they come when called, which usually means after something happened.

They are not standing by each one of us to protect us at the time we need it.

they are not there to stop the rapist, the mugger or murder ....they will only be there to investigate (probably poorly at that) the incident.

so, if defending myself makes you think you need to feel sorry for me....don't waste your time worrying about me.

I will not worry about you and if the need arose, and you are next to me and are being assaulted or raped or about to be killed, I will make sure I walk away and let you wait for the police or fate to intervene

I feel sorry for you people who's gov't will not afford them the opportunity to defend their life if need be.

I'm sure there is plenty of crime in Canada also. With that in mind remember this, when seconds count the police are just minutes away........ luckily my 9mm is a millisecond away, what about yours?

I wonder what would happen if every head of household was required by law to have a gun?

Oh, wait,....it has already happened. :laughing:

"When the law was passed in 1982 there was a substantial drop in crime ... and we have maintained a really low crime rate since then," said police Lt. Craig Graydon. "We are sure it is one of the lowest (crime) towns in the metro area.

Part of the problem is that America has open borders that allow ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to enter our country to commit heinous crimes, mostly against women and young girls.
I recently visited south Miami Fl, and I was shocked by the crime stats committed by illegal foreigners from south America.
Until we get a good border fence and ship all the criminals back, we will continue to see this problem expand. However under the current leadership there is no chance.
Remember this... A liberal, is really a conservative, that hasn't been mugged yet.

Hey "Young man", I know of what you speak. Come the 18th of next month, Ole Giles will be 72 yrs old and feel every year. As a Trooper, I've been shot, cut, beat on and still made it this far. Have no complaints or regrets, I asked for it and facts be known and given the chance, I'd try it one more time man cause I don't feel like it was a waste. I just thank Lord and keep on trucking.

In any case, age not withstanding, your points are well taken, I'm still in a learning mode and I appreciate the input............lg
