I believe every person issued a carry permit has to take a gun safety course even ex-military. in that manner the police department in the area you live knows that you have been properly trained in gun safety and use. I believe this is standard all over the country even in texas and Alaska.

Thank you, j!

Most importantly, saved lives. This is a story that must be told over and over until the anti-gun people understand that firearms in the hands of citizens will save more lives than take more lives. However, I suspect that the real issue behind gun control is actually people control by the government. So, no rational examples will make any difference.

"DRT Means Dead Right There"

we could call it consequences. -- j

May I ask why can't you speak English here. I do not know Tweetish or Facebookish. I though that the language we use in this country is English. Isn't it?

DRT!

This does come under my definition of 'justice', though I admit to your definition of 'Justice'.

Yes, they do. But getting a sympathetic jury? Well, I guess you could but it would have to be heavily skewed.

And the liberal little sheep where saved while the Bloomberg's and Winestines would rather you call 911 while the rediculas police once they get there can make reports while stepping around the corpses.

Where do mass murderers choose as their venue? Places where guns are restricted.

Cowards, each of them.
Cowards, each of us who pretends that isn't true.

You have a point here, Technocracy. I like to say the nation's Founding Fathers laid the corner stone of a justice system for the future country, but what we have today is a legal system. The two are not necessarily the same.

For example, if the country's legal system wasn't draining so much wealth out of the country's health care system, maybe truly affordable health care would be a reality.

So what happened to the justice system? One hypothetical clue: Two bills come before a legislative body that address the same issue. Which one passes? Answer: The one that generates the most revenue for the legal system. Since most legislative bodies are comprised of lawyers, this is only natural and adheres to the law of bureaucracy. That is, eventually the main function of any bureaucracy is the care, feeding, and expansion of the bureaucracy (see any government bureaucracy for illustration of this principle - actually, the same is true inside the corporate world and will collapse a company if not corrected or kept under control).

The current system metes out justice from time to time, but that's just the required veneer for a legal system.

Imagine the Hero thinking, “What the... wait, I've got a gun! I can stop this, dead. But, did I renew my permit? If I did, would this be considered self-defense, these days. I never did read all those words on that thing. A lot of cross references to a bunch of other laws which will have more words I don't understand. What if...”

Eight seconds later, the manic that was waving the gun, starts shooting...

I was at work, taking a walk at lunch and walked past a woman fishing at the pond nearby, with the tacklebox on the ground and a .45 on her hip. I don't know what she was using for bait, but her shark repellent seemed to be working just fine. Come to think of it, I don't recall any violent crimes being done in that area. I wonder if the bad actors get the message pretty quickly, and look for low-hanging fruit somewhere else? (This was near ASU/PHX where lots of people walk around with guns. But how could "more guns" equate to "less crime"????)

I wonder if the bad guy bought more than one gun a month. I wonder if the bad guy had a magazine that held more than 10 rounds. I wonder if the bad guy had a permit to carry the gun. I wonder if the bad guy followed any of the laws that politicians promise us are going to make us safe.

One bullet, one shot, one solution. Tell that to those idiots in D.C. No they say we have to form a committee to study the effects on a rat compared to the human brain to make sure that those who were committing this alleged crime were maybe just getting the feel of their weapon they had just purchased (stole) from someone who was not looking at the time. More red tape. But IG this is exactly the solution.

I am sure they will. Another reason I hope to never be in this position.

You shoot to remove the threat, whatever your aim point. COM is hard to miss and removes the threat. Very effectively.

It's in Alabama. Good luck with that.
