I was asked to move this discussion over to this forum so I could be "beat up". Ok...but first a little history about who I am.....
I hold a NYS Pistol Pemit w/ Concealed Carry...
I have owned guns since I was a boy...
I am a registered Republican....
I am a Life Member of the National Rifle Association..
My guns are stored in a 1500 lb safe in my basement...
My ammunition is in a locker that weighs over 500 lbs when locked and full...
I have over 100 hrs of Practical Pistol training....
I have competed in Slow-fire Rifle competition, as well as Rapid-Fire Rifle....
I carry a Glock 30 semi- automatic pistol when I leave my home...
Most of my friends and family carry a gun when away from home....
None of them have ever had to use their guns....
I believe that self- reliance is a requirement to live in a free society.....
I believe that Gun- Control is hitting what you're shooting at....
I believe that if you don't want to carry a gun for self-protection, then don't...but don't restrict my ability to do so....
Haveing a police force is a good thing, but they can't be everywhere at once, therefore you must take some responsability for your own saftey....
and finally...if you are in fear for your life, then why would you let that person close enough to you to take your gun from you...you have it, so use it.....
I am also an American......
God Bless America.....and George Walker Bush....
