I've already stated time and time again the only time I'd ever pull mine is if I had to defend myself or my loved ones. If there is an exit closer than there is a threat then the exit is where I'm going. I'm no fucking cowboy. I just want my family to be safe and I take the responsibility to ensure that they are into my own hands. This is not to say I won't call for help because I know I will but I also am realisitic enough to know that my hand gun is seconds away whereas the police are minutes if you're lucky.

 

BINGO.

Even if I was authorized to carry, I wouldnt.

However, in my home...I have the shotgun behind the fridge, the M44 under the couch, AR15 #1 in the closet, AR15 #2 under my desk, and my pistol behind the toilet.

 

The legal age to receive a CCW permit is 21 but many states allow open carry and then it would depend on the state. Most states that allow open carry are 18 years old.

 

Yea. I think some people need to face the reality that the police arent by your side 24/7 to protect you. It is really up to you to protect yourself. I hear too many stories about people getting robbed, assaulted, and other stupid shit...all to hear them finish with "we called the police, but they didnt come till the next morning to just take a report."

I had to call the police a few times, in ALL instances it took over 2 mins to even talk to a live person. Damage is done man.

 

No open carry in CA


It would be very different having to shoot someone than shoot at a target. You just have to go through training and training. When James had to do it, it was more than likely his first time too. When its time you'll do it. Instincts will just take over

 

Erroneous!! :squint:

 

No disrespect

And you know its true. hfawk:

 

gaaaaangsta. now i know where to go first when I hit up your house.

"You're Dead Mangina!"

 

in fact, that is part of the law in TN....eminent threat i think is what it's called. if there is a way out of the situation other than the use of my gun, i am expected to try it before i am legally authorized to use dealy force.

like the bank robbery example kirk gave....if i am a customer during a bank robbery, i am not legally authorized to become a "cowboy" & start shooting the perpitrators. however, if they then start to sytematically shoot innocent victims in the bank, then i am leaglly authorized to use force to stop them from killing me or others

it's a fundamental tighrope to walk, but these are situations that you have to think about before you decide to legally carry a weapon for self defense

 

Only if you get past my angry dogs that shoots bees from their mouths when they bark
