2nd I'm sure we all have experienced road rage in dense traffic over stupid things like someone cutting us off, not driving fast enough, or tailgating you. Imagine what would happen when ccw holders with short temper "lose it."

 

You might want to check your math here. A speeding car has MUCH greater potential to do damage than any gun. A powerful handgun ~500 ft-lbs of energy, An average sedan doing 60 mph, 423 THOUSAND ft-lbs. Which is more dangerous when someone loses it?

 

 

You can't tell me it's safe for you to open fire on Times Square just because you are being mugged.

 

Actually I think that's a real good time to open fire on the mugger.

Just some random thoughts...

Let's call a spade a spade...the NBC editor did it intentionally. Investigate it. It will possibly lead you up the network ladder...pursue it.

We need more people to volunteer like George Zimmerman. From the limited audio I heard, once the operator said we don't need you to follow him, George replied "okay". I don't know if George went beyond self defense or not. To me,if he has bruises on his head, the investigation shows the shot was at point blank range (suggesting they were grappling and in contact range, the bullet entered the front or side of Trayvon, and IF a witness corroborates George's story....then I am leaning on a clean shot and a win for CCW.

We need the government to investigate the threats issued by the Black Panthers

Not related to this case, we have a problem in this country that is getting worse...thugs, terrorists, whatever. Stand Your Ground is okay for us civilians, but I want law enforcement to profile. If going after the mob focus on Italians ( I am Sicilian), if terrorism focus on Muslims, if drugs the Colombians and Mexicans....not exclusively b/c there are exceptions but you get more bang for your buck....better odds. Let's stop with all the politically correct crap.

 

Thanks for letting me go off topic. One beer and it all comes out.

We all know we can't take back a bullet once it leaves the barrel. 1st. There's a higher probability of hitting unintended targets in the background. 2nd I'm sure we all have experienced road rage in dense traffic over stupid things like someone cutting us off, not driving fast enough, or tailgating you. Imagine what would happen when ccw holders with short temper "lose it." 3rd. If I was a bad guy & know my potential victims may be armed, things may escalate for me to get an illegal firearm even if I didn't want one.

 

That right there is a classic case of what psychologists call projection. That argument is a complete logical fallacy. Try again.

 

As for the others....

 

#1. Shit happens. You propose that you'd rather be murdered than risk hitting a bystander who may or may not be standing behind the aggressor. That's your call. Don't restrict my unalienable rights because of your unsubstantiated fears.

 

#3. There actually are well documented statistics that prove that criminals will not attack if their intended victim may be armed, and will choose to hit a "softer" target. This is deterrence. An economist by the name of John Lott wrote a couple of books on the subject.

Well said. Cars can cause more damage/death mayhem then a gunshot.
