guess you include these people in your coward group.
I am talking about able body people. Why can't we talk about them instead of changing the subject to those that are disabled. Where did this even come from

Ok, you know what's been in the news...people killing someone they are afraid of and none of them have been handicapped. So explain that and show me the stats on this.

OK, now we're gettin' down to some hair splitting.
Who determines what "able body" means.

This is just stupid anyway.
Why should anyone be subjected to criminal
attack without the right to armed self-defense?
Because your type doesn't like guns?

I have been posting, and I took 2 lives in self defense in the early 90's and I am considered handicapped.
I am even allowed to have a handicap sticker for my vehicles, I just do not get one.

I have no type. I am just saying to use something other than a gun to defend yourself. Look at the criminal cases where people have used guns to defend themselves. Some are spending a lifetime sentence for shooting someone. If you guys want to go out and kill someone than that's up to your but don't complain about the consequences.
