I am a hot head and never even thought of shooting someone in anger. There are 2 reasons for using a gun, self defense and defense of another and only if I have a clear shot.

Good use of a firearm to defend one's place of business. When some thug comes in and pulls a gun on your people and you have the drop on him, he is toast.

The thug should have been educated (it could be bad) on pulling a gun on other people.

Liberals are so ignorant when it comes to actually using a firearm. They have no right to even put in their opinion unless they've worked with a firearm.

I'll tell you what. You go find links where someone with a concealed carry permit used their gun in anger and for every one you find, I will go find you 10 where they were used in self defense or in defense of another. I'll wait here..

Hey great Cherry PIcking. its nice you were able to ignore stories such as the woman shot as she adjusted her bra holster, another women shot by her toddler.

you skipped Alaska boy shot when gun drops from mom's holster - CBS News

and then you ignore studies that show that guns in home increase, not decrease, risk of violent death (Guns in the Home and Risk of a Violent Death in the Home: Findings from a National Study


but you, ever the blind squirrel, were able to find an Acorn.

way to go

we all impressed

Cherry picked stories found on the internet aren't a quantitative or logical way to solve any argument. "Who is better" at google isn't the objective.


There is no evidence to support that Concealed carry has any impact on crime overall. In fact crime rates were heading downwards before the increased in Concealed carry . . .


If your hypothesis is that concealed carry drives down crime rates, you should have a source that isn't refuted. .

it shouldn't be

"i'm better at Google than you"
