Heard that one before. Typically from the same people who claim that the police have guns and they are the only ones who should use them....
...And if you become involved in an altercation which requires shooting for blood...in a place where your very appearance would be provocative...and you've been drinking...this would help your case...how?

Same here. To me it's all about feeling better when I have to go to those places. Of course, in my area, metro Detroit, that's practically everywhere.However, to me it's not a matter of purposely carrying to give me the "courage" to go into places I'd normally never go. It's a choice I can make.
And also:Meef, I hope nothing I've said makes you think I'm one of the guys who would say, "I can go where I want because I can carry a gun."
...Yes, I understand there are consequences to lethal force in self defense, but I have to say there is a whole category of places that I am willing to go only if I can carry.
Hoo Ha!My point is that you as the moderators need to sit down and figure out what the main purpose of this forum is.
Meef, you can answer your own question by simply reading what you've quoted of me in its original context. I provided an example of what I was talking about. I believe I was quite clear. Who do you think you are fooling? All are free to read that quote in its original context. Kind of hard to twist someone's meaning when what they said is just a few posts back.If not - and you feel they could potentally involve having to defend yourself with a gun, or you wouldn't go there - why would you go there at all?
Okay, not trying to twist anything.I believe I was quite clear. Who do you think you are fooling? All are free to read that quote in its original context. Kind of hard to twist someone's meaning when what they said is just a few posts back
How long will gun owners hang out on this site when we are constantly being told "heh, you can't say this or that on here because you might offend an anti"?

Many of you think it is controversial for a gun owner to state on here that they think that any American citizen should be able to go by an M2 Browning machine gun without any paper work or registration. Why is that controversial? . . . . You guys would get your panties in a wad if anyone on here mentioned how to convert a semi auto rifle to a full auto. Why not? It's in keeping with the spirit of the Constitution!

If you feel the need for a fire extinguisher, move to another house.
If you feel the need for an alarm, move yet again.
If you feel the need for a helmet, don't drive a bike.
If you feel unsafe in your house, hide in the cellar. Oops, forgot the radon gas down there ...
Absolutely not. The Founders wouldn't last a minute. They'd be screaming at all of us, "Why have you not already taken up arms? What's the matter with you people? Is there no longer a love of liberty? How can you live in fear of your own government after all we did to free you from tyranny?"Let me ask this moderators. Would our founding fathers be allowed to post here with their "extremist" views?
