"There's no basis in fact to support the claim 'people who carry concealed weapons are some of the most law abiding people in the US."
Sure there is, you seem to be computer literate, look it up!
"I told you what a man with a concealed weapon did at a gas station in a fit of temper so what makes you think that's isolated or an abberation?"
I will tell you what, you look up all of the the incidents that involve people with a concealed carry permit doing something bad, then you look up all the incidents that involve law enforcement doing something bad. If there are more bad incidents caused by people with concealed carry permits than there are law enforcement then I will stop carrying my gun. But if there are more bad things caused by law enforcement than by people that carry concealed legally, then you can never say another thing bad about people who carry concealed legally. Now how is that for a challenge?
"People are at risk when they get up in the morning because life has no certainty.."
That is right, and that is the reason I carry a concealed weapon. I would much rather depend on my own expertize with a gun than wait on a policeman who is minutes away when I only have seconds to live. Now I don't condemn you for wanting to wait on the policeman that is minutes away to save you when you only have seconds to live, so you should condemn me for making the choice to protect myself.
"Law abiding citizens don't need fire power perpetually on their person."
Try to convince the 1,500,000 people a year in the US that are victims of violent crime of that. |
