crapflinger2000 1 #31 November 9, 2005 Well, it's nice to see some things do not change on this forum... some people are just waiting for the right post to come along so they can take offense and get in an argument. Just cuz people at the DZ may be a little alarmed by guns at the DZ doesn't mean they are anti RKBA. Could mean that they might know sometimes people and guns do not mix. Trust me, I used to work at a gun range and I knew a LOT of people who own guns were NOT safe with them. In fact, I would say I trusted MAYBE 30% of the ppl that came in the door to not shoot me in the back on accident. I literally would not take my eyes off them until they were in their car and driving. Made for a very stressful couple of years. Despite this I still support RKBA. However, I get nervous when I see people with guns on display in a non controlled environment, given how many accidental discharges and just plain idiocy I have seen in the CONTROLLED environment of the shooting range. Guns have a propensity for going off on accident when handled by numbskulls. You may not be a numbskull (with your guns), but I do not know that, and at a DZ without backstops and bullet resistant windows and barriers, it scares the sh*t out of me to see (or hear of) random people showing guns off. To summarize, being afraid of accidentally getting shot through the side of a pickup truck or hanger or whatever because Joe Schmuck's son left a round in the chamber and Joe Schmuck is too dumb to clear the firearm is NOT a "quirk". It's a legitimate fear of bodily harm, and yes, at a DZ I should not have to be subject to that. Comparing PDA and a firearm is ridiculous. __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pincheck 0 #33 November 9, 2005 Ooooops.... sorry thought i was in speakers corner this is something i can't relate too. I got over the gun thing when i was a teenager and it was still possible to own or shoot in the UK. Guns seam to be an American passion the rest of the world doesn't really understand, not saying that Guns should be banned but should only be used in appropriate safe enviroment by people who have been trained in the use and dangers of these weapons.

RhondaLea 4 #34 November 9, 2005 QuoteQuotedon't show them even if you're sober.... Why? What business is it of yours if I want to show a fellow gun enthusiast a firearm that is in my truck, and I do so safely and out in the parking lot? Do you have a permit to carry that thing in your truck? Would you do this in the parking lot at Wal-Mart? If not, then why at the parking lot of the dropzone? There's a time and place for everything. At the dz, what you show off is your gear and your ability to fly. Serves you right if someone breaks into your truck and takes your firearm after your narcissistic little show and tell session. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

artistcalledian 0 #37 November 9, 2005 couple of things............ 1. how many people have a gun in their house to shoot burlars with? and how many are prepard for the mental images of doing that, that will stay for the rest of their lives? 2. how many people who have a gun in their house for protection, would regret that decision if they had their gun taken off them by a burglar and usd on their wife instead.... not all people you intend to shoot are 7 stone weaklings, and may just take that gun off you and make you regret having it there in the first place________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missg8tordivr 0 #38 November 9, 2005 1. I do, and I wouldn't have a problem with it. 2. If my gun is out with someone in my house, he will not get close enough to take my gun away. If for some reason he manages to get to me before I get to my gun...he isn't going to know that I have one if I keep it hidden.*** F LORIDA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
artistcalledian 0 #39 November 9, 2005 ok..... what about if we know each other... we have an argument (you catch me shagging your wife)... you hatch a plan... you invite me over, and then shoot me dead... you then make it look like a break in and say it was dark and i came for you, you shot me because you were in fear of your life, you didn't realise i was a friend of yours.... you state we had been arguing earlier, and hey presto.... you get away with murder thats just one of he reasons why guns are banned in this country________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better that than the mental image of my baby girls or boy molested and murdered or, if kidnapped, no image AT ALL, or the image of my wife raped and possibly murdered.

The average "perp" in this country isn't carrying a gun. do you think the only reason so many criminals in the states carry guns, is because its been so easy for anybody to go out and buy one? its too late for you to ban them, been too easy for too long for Joe Public to buy one.... You're already fucked, but the countries who have never had this crazy "right to bear arms" thing, hasn't had guns available to the masses, so there just aren't that many out there... yes, the minority of criminals everywhere have them, but its not as widespread as america. Once you have a "right to bear arms" you have a spiralling gun culture, you get people saying "well, i might as well have one to protect myself" and the only reason the say that is because of many years of lax gun control, enabling millions of guns to have been bought and "out there"________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
