Why We Fear Them, More and More

Please don't be so obvious in your ignorance of the laws. Purse carry will require you take a course before even getting the gun. That is if you even pass the BATF 4733 forms. After passing all these you will be required to pass a demonstration of your shooting ability which is really more of a safety test. Surely being the law abiding citizen you claim to be, you won't be carrying without the proper paper work.
Sorry Shalimar none of the fashion options are open to you. Your country doesn't allow you to own any of this stuff. Well maybe the hat.
 

As a responsible gun owner in the United States, I have to say that I can understand those who are against guns and respect them in their opinions and decisions. I absolutely agree that all of those people should never own a gun, if they are fearful of them or uncomfortable with them. However, I am mature enough not to mock them for their choices and show them respect, as they do not have to agree with me to avoid criticism.

Gun ownership is Not a laughing matter. When a person decides to acquire a firearm, they Must assume the responsibility to learn how to use it, and take the necessary cautions to insure that it is Never used in a questionable manner. The worst gun owner, IMO, is the person who buys a pistol because they become paranoid from watching all the bad news on TV, and then sticks it in their bedroom nightstand without going through some good training. That is the type of person who eventually shoots themselves, or has some young child visiting who finds the gun, and makes the evening news with yet another tragic accidental shooting.

I have been around firearms most of my life...and own several....from a nice Ruger .22 pistol, to a Browning BAR 300 Mag, that can reach out and "touch" someone nearly a mile away. Nearly all of them are secured in a safe location, and only taken out for occasional cleaning and test firing. I have even quit hunting, as I enjoy watching the deer more than hunting anymore. I do have a Tec 9 assault pistol, with a 32 round clip, in a hidden location where the wife or I can get to it quickly should we ever be subjected to some attempted criminal actions.

All kidding aside... I wouldn't own a freakin' gun if someone bought me a solid gold one. That's how I feel about it.. save your lectures.

Wasn't that a James Bond movie? Somebody with a golden gun. I don't think a solid gun would shoot very well. Don't think Illinois had or will ever have open constitutional carry so your decision opting out is a good one.

Those nicer talks by Don M and SeaBreeze are not just for you alone. They are good reading for all interested. Don't like them, don't read them. No need to tell others to stop posting, just stop reading what you don't want to read.
 
rt3. Thank you for your concern re my safety around guns. Unfortunately, my discomfort is not accompanied by an ignorance of the mechanics of using one. You are
presuming an innocence I do not have. During one of the captive periods in my "childhood," I was encouraged to become quite proficient with gun use. Initially it was a BB, but progressed from there as I grew older. Paedophiles gotta have fun, you know. Legality was hardly an issue. Lol. I have stared down both ends of a gun, can't say I enjoyed it much. I hope your experience with firearms has been less traumatic than mine.

i doubt if your skills in firearms precedes your writing skills, nor the levels reached in a good shooting school, and it is interesting to find you in the "outlaw" category. With this in mind, you certainly have a better feel for concealed carry than most Canadians, so it begs the question, "how does it feel being made into an outlaw, by ridiculous gun laws, when as you said yourself legality was hardly an issue?
 
Rt3 do you truly not understand my post, or are you without compassion for abused children? I was an outlaw, because I was forced against my will to play War Games for the amusement of wealthy paedophiles, for whom legality was meaningless. A form of human chess,if you will. You bet I was adept, nothing like real bullets to induce marksmanship. Such is the life of a child sex slave, sadly, one of many. Your response both puzzles and saddens me. I honour your innocence re such matters, but struggle with the rest.
 
"....it would be best if you two went to a shooting school so you wouldn't hurt yourselves..."

The chance of that happening is zero, and you know it! imp
 
One Fact Left Out!

It is to be suspected that the "responsible" people are those who run forums. You cannot think for a moment, can you, that suddenly gun-owning maniacs like me (or you) are "responsible people", can you? imp

Imp, I assume you're referring to me in this thread, and if you are you have completely missed the point of everything said here about responsible gun owners, which include Rt3, BobF, DonM and many others on this forum. They all 'got it'! I certainly never insinuated that Rt3 is a maniac, nor that I was the only responsible gun owner here. :rolleyes: If I'm misunderstanding your comment, please correct me.
