i used to carry. i let my conceal license expire on my birthday. the only place that i would not carry were places that it was prohibited. why did i get my license in the first place? i was walking my dog down the street from my house and was held up by four individuals from the car they had stolen. three of them held a gun on me. now, would having a gun in that situation of helped? no, not immediately, you can't win an already drawn gun fight. i could have, however, shot the back window out of the car or shot it in the trunk or whatever as to mark it because the cops were called and had someone pulled over that matched the description that i gave over the phone. when i was talking to the cops they mentioned in so many words that "marking" the car would've made it a lot easier to identify the assailants.

I'm constantly reading about 9-year-olds being shot by drug dealers. This isn't because drug dealers deliberately target children, it's because they point the gun and shoot without considering where the bullet goes if it misses. If you want to 'mark' cars buy a paintball gun.

Joe Gangbanger won't qualify for a permit, nor can he make a legal firearm purchase.
Neither of which stop him from being a Menace 2 SocietyŽ. Assuming that the law will allow for random shootings is the kind of ridiculous extrapolation for which anti-gunner rhetoric is known. "Just needed killin'" is not a valid legal defense, even in Texas. Oh, and don't be so sure about the number of people carrying guns in Colorado. You might want to refresh yourself on the meaning of "concealed." Philadelphia-area Cellarites have seen me at a variety of social functions in different settings. Exactly how many of those times have you seen a weapon, other than my razor-sharp wit?

Oh, and I did some checking, and for the most recent year I could find statistics (2001), Colorado issued less than 600 concealed weapons permits. I imagine that with the war on terror, blah, blah, that number has gone up, but, in general, Coloradoans really do seem to prefer the chic "rifle in pick-up window" thing. Its so Cowboy, ya know?

No, you're wandering into the special land occupied by Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Honest Politicians, and Sincere Reporters.
I suggest an extra 5 mg of Haldol.

And because the bullet went through a window and killed a 9-year-old playing in his apartment.

NINE YEAR OLD HONOR STUDENT KILLED IN APARTMENT WHEN DRUG DEAL GOES BAD! Oct 5, 2005 Faux News
Nine year old Timmy Jones seemed like just another unsupervised child in his low income neighborhood. Neighbor Cindy Lou Ferrakim, a welfare mother of 8, described Timmy as a "good kid". "He wuz alwaz gonna out of hiz way to hep folks round here," she said. "He'd let me slide on the crack money ah owed him till my gubberment check come in at tha end of tha month," she explained. Timmy's third grade teacher at nearby WeAintPayingforTHEM Elementary School, expressed surprise at the shooting incident which occured yesterday afternoon. "Timmy was the brightest kid in the class! I even helped him fill out his application for a concealed gun permit. He said he needed it when he baby sat for his two younger sisters when his mother had to work the late shift at Burger King." Police questioned and then released 10 year old Abdul Smith in connection with the Jones shooting. "Abdul claims Timmy pulled his weapon first," explained officer Rodriguez of the 666th precinct. "not much we can do about it." Officials from Burger King were unavialable for comment. Last edited by marichiko; 10-05-2005 at 10:38 PM. |
