Those are all horrible tragedies, but what is your point? I assume you are making this statement in terms of banning guns. I also assume that you have heard similar family stories of parents back their car over their kid, dogs mauling the local neighbor boy, or some kid getting knifed in a gang fight. [...]

I agree.

Good question & I am not being sarcastic here, but what are my options for self defense? I suppose I could carry a knife and get training, bows are simply unrealistic, hand to hand would be another option. As far as how I weighed the pro’s and con’s? I am ex-military so I already have [...]

I don’t live in fear, I live in reality. A gun is simply a tool to me, something that I hope I will never need to use. It is like the emergency bag I have stored in a safe place should a natural disaster strike. It is like the CPR course I took shortly after [...]

So if a CCW holder were to stop an armed assailant using armed force, would that change your opinion?

Then make it ‘X’ yards with ‘Y’ gun, it doesn’t matter. Your send paragraph is simply wrong. 1) You have no idea if someone with a firearm would be useful or not. If you did know this, you would need to know the persons past experiences which you certainly cannot. 2) Lunatics/criminals are going to [...]

We are not blaming you, we are just simply saying “you are wrong”. Interesting that the shooter is being described as a Liberal.

So by using this same logic, we should effectively dis-arm any and all police/peace officer? A huge amount of officers (in the high 90%) never pull their firearms for an armed conflict. They only shoot at paper targets, so why does your logic not apply to them?

Actually it is not “dick compensation” it is simply love for your family, friends, and community. When I had my first child, I decided at that point that nothing was going to hurt her without me being able to do something about it. Owning a concealed firearm is simply that, it gives you an option [...]

England, France, Australia…have you checked the violence going on there?

Then make it 25 yards with a shotgun instead of a hundred yards and a rifle, Fritter’s point is still the same. The people would not have gotten to him before he reloaded.

Actually you are incorrect. The FBI released its crime statistics http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2009/crime2009 which showed that violent crime is down over 7% since 2008 when Obama came in and gun sales sky-rocketed.

I am not too sure what you point is with this post (I guess that unarmed people stopped this guy), but I would like to make a couple points being a concealed carrier myself: 1) I literally pray to God every time I holster my firearm that I never have to take it out. Most [...]
