nanook 1 #26 November 3, 2011 Quote Quote A person with a CCW finding himself alone with a pair of armed assholes will not get the upper hand. Perhaps...but on the one hand, I'm a pretty quick shot...on the other hand, I could have another gun, pardon the pun. The drop holster is a man's best friend._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use this example as a tactic based on expected confrontation. If the homeowners had a gun in the house, this may still have happened._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanook 1 #33 November 4, 2011 To get it straight here, I'm not anti CCW or gun ownership. Have firearms in my household myself. My initial beef in this thread was with the whole Heinlin quote. But I have to say that ownership is a great responsibility as I am sure you know. There's many instances where personal defense was successful. But nothing is 100% and skills are highly perishable and should always be practiced. Beware the false sense of comfort guns can give you. It's still only a tool. YOU are the weapon!_____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's still only a tool. YOU are the weapon! I agree 100% with what you said here. As individuals we have to take the responsibility for our own safety. Assembling a good "tool Box" to prevent being victimized is the point I like to make. I have included firearms as part of my choices. I have no issue with those who have decided they don't want to include guns. That's their right. What I do have a problem with is those who think they should decide for me.

Those thugs just walked right in an unlocked patio door. It may still have happened. Maybe not. If they had done something as simple as having locked the door this whole scenario may have played out differently. Sad.[/:(] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
