Most people responsible enough to get a CCP are smart enough to look and see who has the gun first then pull it out and aim.
Once the suspect is down, you holster your weapon, check on the injured/wounded and wait for authorities.
We're not saying every crack head in America needs to carry, but that you should limit responsible people from owning weapons.
And if you miss someone in something as small as a theater.....you need to have your CCP taken away.
Just ask Switzerland or Kennesaw Georgia.
Lol you really wanna pick the argument back up?
And yet, all police officers are bad due to one person in ten years slowly placing his hand on his weapon. He apparently had no right to do that.
What about those two cops who got killed recently? Their job isn't dangerous at all is it?
what if it's the cop who pulls the gun out on innocent people? you think this guy is the only one?

http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2011/04/new_orleans_police_officer_res_1.htmland marineus stop using the argument about switzerland or kennesaw georgia. the reason for both of them having low crime rate is the resident's attitude. kennesaw georgia already had a low crime rate to begin with, the law was only passed to make a political statement about guns.
here, this is a fair statment about kennesaw.
http://rense.com/general9/gunlaw.htmas for switzerland, you conveniently keep forgetting the statement made by the switzerland native mentioning that it isnt the guns in every house that keeps the crime rate low, but the socioeconomic status of their citizens. and you already acknowledged that you read what he wrote and yet you keep "forgetting".
hmm, ganging up on semp, rational? did semp and those who agree with him change their minds? did any of people on the other side change theirs? Did anyone come to the thread with an open mind to begin with?
This, like most other threads, was just another mental masturbation session, nothing more, nothing less, and to pretend it was anything else is self serving. So take it for what it is and not too seriously.
they arent ganging up bunnies. they just think that if they mention it often enough it becomes the truth.
I never said I walk with fear where I live. all I said at the very beginning is that the only time I have felt threatened was when a police officer looked at me and put his hand on his gun. it wasnt his hand on his gun that worried me but the look on his face. i have had police officers point their guns at me before because of misunderstandings or put their hands on their guns when I have gotten pulled over, but none of them had the look that police officer had.
my entire criminal record consists of 1 failure to wear a seat belt, 1 parking ticket, 1 crossing the carpool lanes and a misdemeanor charge of failure to keep my pool clean. I own guns, 2 of them, but where I live I dont feel the need to walk around with them swinging my hips while "resting" my hand on them.
