When I'm grocery shopping I see at least 4 or 5 holsters. I know there are many more concealed. If a terrorist ran in it would be a war in an instant.
So why is joe calling out more and more? As you said the WON'T HAVE A CHANCE?

It's just ridiculous how the anti-gun crowd likes to use names and call us gun nuts, etc. With accusations like that and talk of wild west-type shootouts, who are the real nuts?

The nuts are those who think that banning guns, and/or doing away with the 2nd Amendment will stop criminals from getting them. Kind of like the war on drugs. Prohibition sure is a smashing success, ain't it? As for Hi-Points... absolute crappy gun!

I think you're reasoning is correct.

Yes, a terrorist would last about 2 minutes. After he/she blows themselves up and those around them when they detonate the bomb/bombs strapped to their bodies in a crowded shopping mall or event.


That's what we will see next in this country.


Very naïve to think that won't happen, they're already here.


So it really won't matter how many holsters you see. There will be no shootout, when there is no shooter, just horrible carnage.

People with a permit to carry a concealed weapon are not "domestic terrorists". Statistically they are involved in FEWER crimes than people who do not carry a weapon.

Your statement is nonsense.

No, the Posse members attend the regular academy and are fully trained. As for ccw holders, many at therir cost attend advanced training.

What is this, a Clint Eastwood old western movie?
Yes, of course, this is Arizona, we wear cowboy pistols in the shower and have daily gunfights in malls everyday, don't you read the paper? The blood runs knee deep in the streets and there's no room in left in boot hill.

Bombs combined with rifles are far more effective than just bombs. We saw evidence of such in Paris.

You're missing the point. The mindset that a "terrorist" is just going to show up and start shooting in a mall needs to be expanded. In fact if this is supposed to make people feel safe in AZ, it could in fact make them more of a target. These people are already here, just like they were in France. All it takes is one or two them strapped with bombs on their bodies, and they're you go. They don't care, they believe they're doing it for the cause and will be rewarded in the after life.


You honestly think they're going to draw attention to themselves with a rifle?


Fortunately we haven't seen like other countries have suicide bombers walk into a crowded place(like a shopping mall) and blow themselves up and kill others.


Unfortunately we will. It's only a matter of time.


The idea that the only method of violence and death is going to be a shooter is naïve at best.
