"safety" is just a feeling, it doesnt mean you are any safer, and thats how i feel about guns, it gives people the feeling of safety, but places them in more danger because of it
i appreciate the stories about gun usage, and i am glad that those of you that have used a weapon in a dangerous situation are here to tell about it
wether you believe it or not, "safety" is not a perceived feeling...it is a reality

and as for the age to carry ... its 21
MF'n :werd: .....i'm just trying to level the playing field. i'm sure that dudes in 1st story wouldn't have even tried if they had known that i was armed.
think about it...if you were a criminal, wouldn't you be less likely to try to rob somebody if you knew there was a chance that they were armed as well??
i'm just sayin.....
yes, there are some stupid, crazy mofo's that own guns, but i think as long as i'm not breaking the law, your percevied "fear" of me or somebody else who choses to carry a gun to protect myself or people i care about doesn't matter for shit
