For those who carry firearms, why should we trust you? (gun, permit)

7. I am mentally stable

8. I would never shoot anyone unless my life (or that of a family member) was in direct danger and could not run away.

9. I would never shoot anyone over theft (who cares).

10. I never carry a round in the chamber


The good thing about the 2nd amendment is that I don't need to justify any of the above (except #7) to anyone.

And how much of that would I know if we were in the same bar for the first time ever?

In the same circumstance, how would we know, they were packing heat?

You must be paranoid because you're attributing what one person said to all gun owners, not "gunners." That's a military term which anyone who had really served would recognize as such. You also seem to be in mortal fear of getting caught in a crossfire. A top rule of gun safety is, "Be sure of your target, and beyond."

Yeah, possible paranoia.

Would someone please explain to me... What's the F'ing point of this thread?

Cool map. I've been to those "guns are normal" areas to camp and visit friends. Never saw a gun. Well, except the wall of my friends house. I'm talking about areas where you feel like you are in a developing country where almost everyone has a gun slung over their arm. I haven't seen that in rural CA. Anyways, thanks for posting the map.

So! Who gives a damn if you trust them or not. I personally could not care less if people I don't know trust me. I don't go around worrying whether people trust me or not. Your point makes no sense, and that's what everyone has been trying to tell you. Seems you have a hard time grasping that.

Again, who the hell cares what you know? Should everyone who has a CWP report to you at every location and try to prove to you that you should trust them????

- Why should you trust people with guns?
- Why should you trust people that drive around you?
- Why should you trust an airline pilot?
- Why should you trust a bus driver?
- Why should you trust a cab driver?
- Why should you trust your bartender?
- Why should you trust a restaurant cook?
- Why should you trust your car mechanic?

Hint: Each one of those above have had members go rogue at one time or another. And I could go on and on and on.

To troll the gun owners.
