Perhaps a better outcome , but a poor basis for decision-making.
- I would rather be tried by twelve than carried by six.
I agree. They are. When a firearm is constantly cocked, once loaded, you can't monitor the firing mechanism, and the only "safety" is also on the trigger, big surprise! You're going to have a ND Syndrome named after your gun.ND's are inherent to a particular type of handgun.
Any facts to back that up?I agree. They are.
Yup. People who believe the "judged by twelve" fantasy aren't familiar with life in a supermax.Until those 12 find you guilty and send you to prison for the rest of your life
Otoh, if your choice is dead or relying on the legal system to get it right, go with the option where you are not dead. The problem with the saying is that it implies there are only two extreme choices, and that is probably not the case most of the time.Yup.

The real problem is that it is often used to imply that legality is not really somthing to consider.The problem with the saying is that it implies there are only two extreme choices, and that is probably not the case most of the time.

I suspect he was fiddling with his firearm. It is not a toy.Once I read about a guy who shot himself in the leg in his car while driving to the range. I was correct in my first guess that he was carrying a 1911.
So often the negligent action that causes a ND.fiddling with his firearm
In fairness this is a valid argument for rkba when the nanny state thinks you must pass so many hours of training before you are permitted to exercise your right.Magazine articles tell us that thousands of people have defended themselves successfully without having had training.
I think this discussion would benefit from more granular definition.don't put much stock in so-and-so as a trainer, because he has never been in a real gunfight.

Three states that I know of - mine (Washington), Indiana and (I believe) Pensylvania -- do not require ANY training in order to get a CPL/CHL/CCW license. I suspect (and some research has borne this out) that one will find that these states see no more firearms misuse negligent discharges or criminal actionIn fairness this is a valid argument for rkba when the nanny state thinks you must pass so many hours of training before you are permitted to exercise your right.
The fact that millions of defensive gun uses are simply brandishing with no shots fired is valid evidence.
that in no way means individuals shouldn’t avail themselves of formal training.
I'd like to read that research. Do you have a citation?I suspect (and some research has borne this out) that one will find that these states see no more firearms misuse negligent discharges or criminal action
by license-holders than the states that require training.
Those do not address the qustion.The information is readily available and less than 5 minutes on Google will turn it up.

Jesus Christ! What's the matter with people? No one can make a statement any more without someone demanding "a citation" to "prove" it.

Help what?The bold help?
Feel free to peruse the research, but I'm not gonna do your work for you. Start by typing in "www.google.com"I'd like to read that research. Do you have a citation?
