Fun - No fun in it for me and regarding self destructive, more like destructive to the intended target. Self destructive to the user only if he/she shoots themselves with it.

But at one time he did.... and found it self-destructive, I believe.

  It`s misdirected, uneducated self-rightousness that`s the real killer though.

Guns are selfdestructive, so remember to use ear and eye protection.

Actually I have no fear of being shot in my neighborhod.

People here are too absorbed in their self righteous activities such as washing their hummer Hgay2 then driving it to the local grocery store.

There are bad places in the world, and in my state, you know what a state is right guys? We've got more than 50 of them here in the US.

I'm more worried about getting run over buy some syko girl on PMS at my college campus while walking to my car than getting shot. I have guns, lots of them, and I carry one most of the time. Not while im away at school...

Why do I carry one? Hell, because I can. I'm not expecting to get into a gun fight, no one ever does, its just nice knowing it there to even up the odds if need be.

I've gotten in several fights since I've been carrying a gun. I never had a thought in my mind to use it durring any of them. Not before, not durring, not after.

Figured one of you Aholes would make a dig at the US tho. Typical of those who are ignorant to concept of freedom and rights.

Edit: But then again, I guess "freedom" has more than one deffinition.

Well, the kind of freedom to expect any nut to have a gun in his pocket has a quirk. One therefor needs one too!

angus... your igtnorance is showing..  with complete freedom to carry it is true that only about 10% of a modern societry will carry concealed regularly even in very dangerous places like south africa or israel.

It is also a fact that the people who choose to carry in a legal manner are the most law abiding citizens on the planet as a group.  

In the U.S. no one of the millions of concealled carry citizens has committed an unlawful shooting.     It is also true that you are safer in a concealed carry state than in one that is not so.... your arguement has no basis in fact.... it is the oppossite of fact.

I am glad that you have never needed a firearm and hope that you never do since... well... your women took em away but..  you are living in a fantasy world.... you believe that your government can protect you from the bad guys and that they themselves can never become the bad guys even tho... it is a fact that they can't protect you and that, further... The vast majority of homicides in the world have been committed by governments.

you seem childlike and petulant to me.

My Ignorance?
Look at this:

"In the U.S. no one of the millions of concealled carry citizens has committed an unlawful shooting."

this must be the funniest statement I have ever seen. Who are you? God?

So never ever a single shooting crime by a legal gun owner?
Come on......

Then FYI, I have 3 guns...legally. No good for concealing though, sort of big for the job......

BTW, the first armed bank robbery in my country was made by a U.S. citizen.
:D

Maybe the women should just take over your country after all.....

 Laz is not talking about all legal gun owners, just the ones that went to the trouble of getting a Concealed Carry Permit.



I am fairly sure he is right.
