However I don't understand people who can't think of going to a grocery store or a resturant without carrying a gun. Are people that paranoid of everything? Is crime that out of control in Idaho that carrying a gun to Wal-Mart is a necessary thing?
It may be a "safe" area in general but you never know when another customer or a store employee will go bad. Or what if they don't intend anything but are just careless? Unless you are prepared to instantly defend yourself you are pretty much up the creek.
I guess you are being serious, you actually worry about other customers so you feel the need to have a loaded gun, maybe you should shop in a different store.
The difference is that accidental gun deaths and injuries DO happen all the time here in the United States.
So does Homicide
So does DUI Manslaughter
So does Domestic Violence
So does Aggravated Battery
So does Rape
Bad stuff happens all the time and registration and safety courses have done nothing. It is a futile argument you make. For every Gun Death in the U.S. on a given day they are surpassed by heart attacks, robbery, traffic deaths.
According the the CDC's website Gun Deaths and Deaths for Automotive Accident are about even with Motor Vehicles being a bit more deadly at 10.8 deaths per 100,000 population compared to 10.4 deaths per 100,000 population for Gun related accidental Deaths.
I have been to that Walmart before, it wasn't one I felt I needed to be armed at.
And yet just try imagine how many law abiding Gun Owners passed within feet or yards of you and you somehow made it home safe and sound. According to you and the other folks who need more anti second amendment laws you should have been killed or greatly injured after having taken such a risk.
Glad to see you braved the armed masses and are doing just fine. I suspect yours is not an isolated incident.
How come this shooting wasn't prevented by a good toddler with a gun?
because they had all been disarmed by the likes of you.
