vortexring 0 #1 October 18, 2007 Well, why would you? Through your hobby? Through the enjoyment of physically shooting something - it is fun! Or... Because there are are so many bad men out there -armed! - out to get me!! I'm Sooooo scared! Only a gun can protect me - just like in the movies!! Or just man the fuck up?

ExAFO 0 #16 October 18, 2007 QuoteWell, why would you? Three reasons: 1. Because it's better than relying on 911. 2. I enjoy marksmanship. 3. Because people like Kallend want to disarm me.Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #21 October 19, 2007 Quote Wow - so essentially if somebody in the Twin Towers had a handgun, the terrorists wouldn't have flown their hijacked a/c into them? err, either you used the wrong face icon, or you don't know that 911 is the number we dial the police with (and wait 10-1000 minutes). I started getting my guns in 1999 when the California legislature was screwing with our rights. 8 years later, a few of mine are no longer available for purchase, and the prices had increased substantially (read ~650 -> ~800 on average) by 2005. So the best reason is to get it now before you might have a need, since you may not be able to later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
