If that situation does happen I would want that person with a gun to be the police or a Swat team not an armed accountant who thinks he can be a hero. Lets leave the brave work to the professionals.
Don't spend much time at the firing range do you? Police are notoriously unskilled with a firearm. I would rather have half of the gun owners here to help me than I would the police. The police qualify once a year in most areas and that is the ONLY time they go to the range. Most gun owners I know of go to the range a minimum of a couple times a month and many of us go weekly. Of coarse being the knowledgeable gun owner that you are, you are aware that firing a gun is a skill that requires practice to be proficient.
Well "Ken" you are not going to get your gun registration program. You can bank on that. May as well get it out of your mind and put it in the "aint gonna happen" file.
At least I am trying to think up some solution to our problem with firearms. It may not be the best idea but its an idea none the less. Do you have idea ideas on what to do freightshaker?

Yes, in fact I do. Start going after the street gangs under RICO and start putting them in jail. Start immersing the areas of street violence with law enforcement. Including State, local and FEDERAL. Start educating people on the proper use and legality involved with using a firearm. Encourage people in the community to start reporting crime. Right now they are afraid to even report it. That is a good start. I am sure you could build on that.

Firing at a target at the range and firing at a living target in a gun fight are by no means even close to being similar.

I just noticed "Ken" is from San Jose, CA, aka the Bay area, home of Diane Finstein and other anti gun zealots.
So frankly responding to him is beneath me.
But Ken don't worry, I am well trained, my training included legal aspects and personal liability, please rest assured I will never use my gun to protect you or anyone I am not responsible for. The liability to me isn't worth the risk.
I hope the cops get to your crime scene before you bleed out. A sad comentary on Amerika that good people will let others die, but that's how it is.
The police are not going to protect you. Their job is to apprehend criminals and investigate crime. I am not going to protect you. MY job is to protect myself and those I am responsible for.
