No gun when dropped will just fire. There has to be an inadvertent trigger pull. Some of you who say it will fire when dropped, really do show ignorance, lol
Categorically WRONG!
You're thinking of the colt's with the backstrap safety needing to be depressed. There are many older colts and other sidearms out there without that extra feature that will indeed fire when dropped if you're stupid enough to carry one around with one up the spout and either hammer all the way back or on the hammerless jobbies simply hit the butt of it hard enough to counter the trigger pull spring.
Attended many courses where carrying racked and ready was demonstrated as being STUPID in the extreme with the older Browning 9MM used as an example by placing in a clamp and giving it a whack on the backstrap, et-voila one goes downrange!
Nah; my bet would be those folks wished they lived in a civilized country where folks could go to a theater without fear of being shot by some nutbar with access to an assault rifle or any other kind of bang, bang.
Sheesh; how many criiminals you gotta be afraid of? You got them in quantities that you don't even fell safe in a movie theater for cripes sake? What the hell is wrong with this picture?
You portray yourselves as being free and brave yet can't leave the house without a sidearm. Can't you folks see the contradiction within. You're not free if your fears extend to going around armed all the time and that little tendancy does not indicate bravery but rather FEAR! C'mon here.
Oh yeah and in before "but we're free because we all have a choice" nonsense. That does not make you free but rather a "hostage" to your fears. You all justify carrying a 38 oz, weight in your pants because you all need to be able to protect yourselves from some boogyman or other. Were you truly the free and brave nation you portray, you wouldn't need the darn thing now would you.
You cannot have it both ways; either you're free to live your lives without unnecessary fears holding you hostage to having to carry around what amounts to a lead weightin your pants or you're a nation of fearful beings all afraid of what might happen around the next corner.
You could get hit by a bus crossing the street; what you gonna do; wear a suit of armour, or is it just your phallic symbols that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
How stupid do you think this chit makes you appear in the eyes of others when some retard with a carry permit takes his damn gun into a theater with one racked and ready with no safety on? Moronic.
Uh yeah, after that little ridiculous rant the only one looking moronic is..... well look in the mirror.
I can have it both ways. I have life insurance but dont intend to die, I have car insurance but dont intend to get into an accident, house insurance, disability insurance, workers comp insurance, liability insurance both personal and business, see how moronic you statement looks now?
Some of you need some serious counseling for your hoplophobia. The only fear being show in this thread is not by CCW advocates.
You know, in retrospect, I don't think so. Your society has no more nor less evils within it than any other society. The problem is with the general belief that making it difficult to obtain weapons would only make it easier for the criminals. At first that might be so but giving LEO's the tools to force compliance is the first step.
Making it difficult for ALL to carry easily concealed weapons and making the damned assault stuff completely illegal would go miles. Your country has evolved from a country where virtually everyone was armed, through a period where the majority were not in the cities and more advanced areas to again being one where the majority are not going to feel safe unless they once again perform daily functions while carrying a weapon. That's the sad part.
This debate rages on and on with a predominantly male ego thingy driving the discussions and the female doing what per-se; relying upon the male to make these decisions for them? Are they disenfranchised enough that they will be forced to rely upon their male counterparts to protect them?
Attending formal functions going to see those ladies all carrying their little rearflap cocktail purses with tidy little 380's in them?
Do you think the Donald Trumps are all packing? Rhodes scholars, Yale graduates are all walking around with their favourite Colt Defender weighing down their pants? On average this little phenomenae is restricted to the middle and lower class of society while the upper classes gaze down their noses at this silly obsession over weapons.

Hoplophobia??? That must be a condition that forces one to "hop" to conclusions based on faulty comparative analysis.
Ridiculous is the one who puts insurance and guns in the same file folder. C'mon here; you're seriously going to compare your carrying a gun with buying an insurance policy? Now that's rich!
On the one hand, a piece of paper that indemnifys you against costs involved through a bad event in your life and you'd equate that to carrying a tool designed for killing which may or may not save your azz?

Tell that to Obama's Secret Service detail. Maybe they will all give up their guns and blow bubbles at the next person that shoots at the White House.
