As California goes, so does the nation? Is that why the government has so protected you q***rs and made it mandatory to recognize you?

Get on the internet and ask people from the states I mentioned and see for your own screwed up self. I have a friend in Denver, Colorado who is planning to move to Idaho to get away from you dregs that are bringing your Califruitti ideas to her state.

Carolyn, the sounds of the moving vans taking the lock and load goobers to Idaho is the sound of the
Republican party going extinct as a national entity. You folks are going the way of the Whigs. (That's not a hair covering). It was an early American political party that went out of business because they weren't capable of adapting to changing times.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

To get my concealed-carry permit, all I needed to do was sit through a 4-hour class on gun laws. The next day, I had to go to a range, and when it was my turn, put at least 4 bullets in my target at 10 yards. I didn't have to show that I could break down my weapon for cleaning or repair, nor did I have to show how I would react if someone tried to steal my car. Having been through weapons training while in the military, I had a big advantage over most of my class-mates.

You're assuming that everyone who carries a gun can remain calm, cool and collected, hit their target with 1-2 rounds and not send any rounds down range, possibly hitting innocent people. That's a very tall order for people not trained how to use their weapon in a firefight.

Plus, Carolyn, how would you react if the perp had a weapon and fired at you? Presuming you're a woman, would you not carry your weapon in your purse, as most women do? When you gas-up your car, do you take your weapon with you, outside the car? Even if you do take your weapon with you, if someone tried to take your car, would you have the presence of mind to get away, or would you stand your ground and exchange fire? Remember, in the OP's scenario, you're the one who's standing next to a gas pump.

More people carrying guns equals more lead flying all around. I'm not anti-gun. I own several. I am anti-i***tic, pro-gun, laws that promote i***tic gun usage.

I agree, you do not shoot somebody in the back for stealing property,
you shoot them for the insult. Most murders are commmitted because
somebody pissed somebody off, that's the best reason to k**l somebody.

Jesus would have said don't shoot unless you'r sure it's Devon.

I am surprised mr. Williams didn't say he was sure it was Bush.

Well said!!! If we lived with anarchy instead of GOVERNment, these perps wouldn't be so bold. Society would be SOOOOOOO much improved over what it is NOW.

The door won't hit me on the way out, but a bullet might hit you as you stand with the crooks that are out to try and take our country away from us. And the only reason the Republican Party id on the way out is because too many of them have climbed onto the crooked train from Democrat land.

You assume wrong when you assume most women carry their weapon in their purses. Women who know their danger at the hands of the many weirdo's walking around among us carry their weapons in holsters on their bodies. You evidently do not know enough about women to even know what all they carry in their purses, so it would take several seconds more to draw a weapon from a woman's purse than it would from a holster designed for quick access.

Women are some of the most dedicated gun handlers in the world. Most strive to better themselves in everything they do, including gun handling. Before large caliber ammunition became so expensive we would go to the range at least once a month. We still go but we bought .22 cal. handguns so we can still shoot without having to mortgage the farm. We save our large caliber ammunition for the weirdo's that this government seems to find so valuable as citizens.

This time you assumed wrong. Having been married for 40 years, with 2 daughters, 1 daughter in law, and 4 granddaughters, I can say, without a doubt, I'm very familiar with what a woman will carry in her purse. And, from the other women I've associated with socially and through business, the vast majority didn't like the "holster bump" wearing a holster leaves on their clothing. Thusly, they carried their weapon in their purses.

But, you failed to address my main concern. Without the proper training needed to teach people (both men and women) how to react when under pressure, how can you be so positive than they won't freeze if put on the situation of getting their car stolen, or walking in on a perp stealing from their house, or get involved in a convenience store robbery?

If you're honest with yourself, unless and until it happens, you have no real way of knowing how one would react. And, I'm not talking a 2-4 hour lecture on what to do, nor am I talking about sharpening your sk**ls at hitting a target once a month at a range. I'm mean the type of training that simulates the actual real-life situations one can encounter, similar to the FBI training at Quantico, VA. The type of training police get. If you're going to try to take the law into your own hands, you'd better be darn well sure you know what to do, when to do it and how to do it.

This is a true story. A few years back, outside Memphis, TN, a young girl went into a convenience store to buy a candy bar, while her mom was pumping gas. After the mom went in to pay for the gas and the candy bar, a robber came in, pulled out his gun, shouted for everybody to get down, then pointed the gun at the clerk.

The clerk dived under the counter. The young girl ran toward the door. The robber, noticing all of the movement began to point his gun in all directions. The mom pulled out her gun from her purse and fired at the robber. The robber fired back at the mom, hitting her in the leg. The robber, then, ran out of the store. The mom noticed her daughter laying by the door, bleeding. The mom had shot her own daughter in the stomach. Her aim was good. Unfortunately, she hit the wrong target. Fortunately, the girl survived getting shot. You can imagine how the mom felt. She said she wishes she'd never pulled her gun.

The mom was licensed to carry her gun. So, she didn't break any laws there. But, in her bravado to be all big and bad, she shot her own daughter. According to her statement, she thought, because she had a gun and went through her 8-hour training, that she knew what to do.

She never looked to be sure what was in her line of fire. She didn't have the proper training to know how and when to use her weapon.

If you've had the police type training that teaches you how and where to use your weapon under stressful circumstances, I'll have you back anytime. But, if not, please stay the heck away from me because, with your attitude, you're an GSW waiting to happen.
