Tough to tell. Statisticly that sounds high....any more context?

It's you who seems to be operating from a vacuum. Basing your entire argument & the will you would impose on others on the belief that nothing bad happens in your little slice of heaven & others like it. Furthermore, you would have laws cater to those few living behind castle walls rather than the vast majority that don't. Again, your paranoia, is driving YOUR agenda. Your belief that nothing bad will ever happen to me has already been proven wrong twice. Your "Bubble" doesn't extend beyond your environment. I don't look down on you because you don't like guns or wouldn't own one. What I do look down on is your smug beliefs that something akin to a mental disorder is driving my desire to protect myself against crime.

Heretic No! They should immediately improve their financial status & take the monorail to Utopia!

Yet.....Statistics indicate you are still more likely to run into a violent felon than you are a "rogue" legal gun owner......indicating Paranoia. You can't alter data to support your beliefs. Now you are most certainly more likely to encounter (knowingly or unknowingly), a legal gun owner(given the utopia you live in & confine yourself to) vs a violent felon......but still more likely to encounter a violent felon than a good guy gone bad. To think otherwise points towards Paranoia.

I can function just fine without carrying.....I just choose to carry. Your "Belief" that a "Legal" gun owner will "Loose it" sounds like paranoia

Show me where I said "I can't leave the house without one"? I CHOOSE to carry & I choose WHEN to carry. I don't carry if I'm going out to the bar. I don't bring my gun into places it's not allowed....I have a lockbox in my car for that. I do carry on most other occasions. I don't do it out of fear....I do it to be prepared should something happen. That doesn't guarantee a positive outcome for me but it does improve my odds. MY belief is that BAD things can happen ANYWHERE. Bad things probably happen more in certain environments but not always. You have convinced yourself that the only time bad things happen in your Utopia is when a legal gun owner goes rogue.....I hope that always holds true for you. Providing a way to defend myself if the need arises is just being prepared. Calling my beliefs paranoid is simply a way for you to justify your beliefs.

You mean "the voices".... I've often wondered if kydex or leather combined with steel can cause some reaction......

I WILL continue to do my thing. I hold no ill will towards someone that doesn't like guns. I hold no ill will towards anyone's beliefs (for the most part). I do however take issue with the beliefs of other's being forced on me. Beliefs are just that....beliefs. If you want to give veracity to your beliefs....use facts. The fact is that more crimes are prevented by lawful, responsible, sane gun owners per year than murders committed.....by an order of magnitude. The vast & overwhelming majority of gun induced murders are committed by violent criminals & not by legal gun owners. You like to call being prepared being paranoid. Believe what you want but don't try to pawn your beliefs as facts & don't try to force your beliefs on me due to YOUR paranoia.

An no time in my statements did I ever say or imply that I was scared.....only prepared. I indicated that twice....TWICE, I had deadly weapons pulled on me. Yet, you will continue to say it doesn't happen. You will continue to say it's not needed. You continue to call it paranoid. You would have it so that I was unarmed the two times that I needed to be armed. That people like YOU have any say in my ability to protect myself or my family.......THAT IS REAL INSANITY.

I've been carrying, concealed, for close to 44 years. In all that time I've never had to shoot anyone. I've had to reveal my weapon on 2 occasions in all that time. I've had to unholster it once. In one instance I was facing an individual with a knife, the other a handgun. Without the presence of my own weapon, I was looking at the real possibility of severe injury or death on both occasions. People are confronted by these situations every day, all across the country. People are killed & injured every day during robberies, whether they be in public places or home invasions. Both of those are factual statements........nothing you can poo poo away by saying it doesn't happen. If it happens (as facts prove) it's not irrational to prepare for it. 44 years of carrying......at least 5 days a week......North of 12,000 days with a weapon on my person......to only need it twice. If it weren't for my "irrational fear" there's a good chance I could have died years ago. Protection against violence is an irrational fear. Buying auto or homeowners insurance is not. Your house & car have locks to keep people out. You will protect your belongings with insurance.......but not your life......THAT IS IRRATIONAL.

Nice

He WAS taught gun safety........during the entire training, he remained on his cell phone talking with someone.

He is an anti gun, anti 2nd amendment weasel. He didn't pay attention to safety training. He put his anti gun soapbox to the side in order to make money filming a movie using guns......talk the talk....then walk the walk.

You are really on the "Ignorance & Stupidity" world tour this evening.

I'll take dodge bj pics & hardcore anal for $200 Alex.......

Oh NOW we don't want to use a death to further political agenda

Gunner's Daughter Milk Stout by Mast Landing Brewing. Great Peanut butter, coffee & chocolate notes. Very drinkable without filling you up.

You mean the Ukraine border bill?

Like all the Chinese & Muslims that are infiltrating? I wasn't aware that there was a land bridge to access North America from those locations.

I enjoy this time of year. I know the ballots are safely & securely delivered to the polling locations in my town because I deliver them....with a police escort. My town has also turned the corner & is leaning Red. Going to be a great morning.

There is no inflation
