Really... Care to point us at at least 4 or more links to news reports of your engagements. I'll wait while you pick out 4 with the same victim name :rolleyes: in the same state.

Those with a gun and an attitude are like a lit fuse waiting to go off and it is another threat that usually will trigger them.

From your posting on this thread, I would most likely include you in this group, you certainly have an attitude, I suspect you have a gun so I support you unilaterally disarming. I wouldn't suggest that you should be disarmed however, that would be a removal of your rights.

You do of course realize, somewhere in that gap between your left and right ears that making these snap judgments as you have is how Brady and the pro unarmed victim crowd rationalize gun control for the masses, but not the police or other federal agencies.
 
Cornman, no one is talking about walking into a classroom with a rifle slung over their shoulder, bandoliers of ammo, and grenades here. Would I as a legal CCW holder be considered paranoid and "armed to the teeth" for wanting to conceal a Sig 230 in a class setting. What could this possibly hurt?


Are you afraid some armed to the teeth CCW holder is going to gun you down out in the grocery store? There are lots of 22 year olds that frequent my local supermarket, and given my cities ccw stats I would guess a fair number of them are "armed to the teeth".

Come on man.

It is a grounded mind that is your best defence, not some gun.

= TROLL
 
The reason the military uses young people is that they do not yet have large responsiblities and are easily indoctrinated.
 
Again cornman this is the The Highroad, a pro 2nd amendment/firearms forum. knock knock knock, hello anyone there?
 
I hate to respond, but I am curious. What is so wild west about ccw on campus and not anywhere else? Is there something about a campus setting that makes people lose their minds?
 
Sorry guys, but guns and schools do not mix. Furthermore 18-22 year olds are not mature enough to be trusted with guns. If you think otherwise you have never been to a college party or bar.

You did it now. I am 21, I don't drink much, don't do drugs, don't hang out with people who do and all of my friends have been taught safe firearm handling skills. Maybe you should come hang out on my campus, which is in the third ward and has regular violent crimes.

Remember, jut because YOU were not capable of it at that age, and couldn't limit things to moderate amounts does not mean no one can. Unfortunately it's gun owners with opinions like yours that hurt our cause.

Perhaps you are a 'plant'.

I, sir, take offense at that remark. You will retract it and apologize to my brother, a member here, and all the other service people that have been "indoctrinated" as you put it.

^ The First Amendment is also very important Gus. It doesn't make him right but he is certainly entitled to his opinion.
 
Good thing I am not the govt. But I will not stand by while some "fudd" slanders the good name my brother and so many others fought for. To liken them to mindless automatons does a disservice to all fighting men and women. They are not robots. I will not call for censure because HGUNHNTR is correct, you are entitled to your opinion. Maybe reword the post to sound less condescending to our young fighting men and women.

At 19 I joined the military to protect all the rights of this great country (yours and mine) and yet I had no since of responsibility? Thanks to my "indoctrination" you now pay me(quite a bit) to go to college... Thank You

That answers that. Your bigoted view of young adults speaks volumes.
 
I think it is safe to say that Cornman has never been in the military. If you are not already responsible, you will learn very quickly how to be very responsible for yourself, for others, and for the image of your country to the rest of the world.

Regarding the "indoctrinated" comment - whatever. I guess the older guys that come in just must be stupid to be indoctrinated then? Or is it something else?

Cornman, I suggest you go talk to some guys here, and find out when they first became responsible for someone else in the military. I was an NCO before I could legally drink in the states. I am far from alone in this fact. Look at what age guys usually are when they are commissioned. It must just screw with your head to know that people you deem to be irresponsible based on age alone are not only armed, but armed with automatic weapons, AND literally responsible for the lifes of other soldiers.

So you are saying the minimum age to join the military should be 23?

Sorry, but many wars and years of experience prove that 18-22 year olds can be trusted with guns.
And furthermore either you reach the age of maturity at 18 or you don't. There is no provision in our Constitution for a second class citizen from 18 to 21.

And before you jump to any conclusions it has been almost 30 years since I was a member of this age group.
 
Come on guys, look how worked up you are about a contrary opinion. Well, really not even a contrary opinion, just a different degree of opinion. I think that speaks volumes about the maturity level. If you cannot keep your cool on a friendly forum how is it you have reached a level of maturity? If I said I think women are not as good with driving directions as men many of you would have read that I said women should not be allowed to drive. You are reading way too much into what I am saying. BTW I respect everyone in uniform of any stripe and any age.
 
Um, you DID say 18-22 year olds cannot be trusted with guns. That is EXACTLY the same as saying women shouldn't be allowed to drive cars. I think you got caught up in flying your flag and forgot what ship you were on.
 
Thanks for helpin' out with the cause there, cornman. Your valuable and informed opinion has been a great contribution to this thread, and the RKBA debate overall. :rolleyes:
 
Cornman, you've failed to use anything approaching rational thinking or facts in putting forth your arguments. Your arguments have basically boiled down to alternately insulting college students, concealed carry advocates, and members of the military.

You've just now come to the realization, apparently, that such baseless attacks aren't going to make you any friends here, and then you have the audacity to say "Oh, hey, guys, c'mon, I wasn't being serious!"

That's a heck of an underhanded way of saying "I know I ticked all of you guys off by insulting you, but I have no intention of apologizing."

BTW I respect everyone in uniform of any stripe and any age.

If so, your comments in this thread are certainly a funny way of showing it.
