and 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.

as 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".
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.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that because there were a few bad people who messed up that I should stereotype everyone in that group. OK. All blacks are gang bangers, all whites are psychopathic killers, all Mexicans are illegal immigrants, all Native Americans want to shoot me with an arrow, all Marines throw puppies off of cliffs.
Why stop using the argument? Because it's true?
And excuse me? That was ONE person versus the hundreds of others who have said they helped. 1 v 100. Who wins? Yeah. Piss off.
If it wasn't his hand on his gun, why was it that you could only refer to that motion? You're more than welcome to go back and read what you wrote. You just kept bringing up the fact he put his hand there, never mentioning his facial expression until now. Hmmmm.
Where did I say I felt the NEED to carry? For some reason you can't grasp the concept of "I go to the range at random, and it's nice to have." Would you like to call Kirk Hampton, Blake Williams or Kevin Carter? Hell would you like a list of the guys I go shooting with? Any single one of them will tell you the same thing. "We don't know when we'll get to go to the range, so we keep them on us or in our trucks." Maybe it's from being in a farming community where you do what you want to when the day's work is done (whenever it may be) or something just about the community here that prevents us from having a solid schedule.
I don't rest my "hand" I put my arm between my holster/pistol grip and my side. Why? Because in the summer it's better than having my hands in my pockets in the 108ºF weather.
Oh I'm sorry. Does that smell like BS to you, or are you OK with people living differently and having a body language that differs from yours?
