Punks with gun who chose to commit crimes are far more likely to do so if they know their targets are essentially helpless. It's a lot more daunting if that ol' granny is packing.
It's also the reason why most B & E robberies actually happen to homes left unlocked or with extremely poor locks. Crooks will always go for the easy score versus a hard one. Gun control laws serve to make the law abiding a bunch of easy score sheep amongst the wolves. |
I'd love to see that guy with the rocket launcher fire that in the direction he's aiming.
I've yet to see a convenience store robbed by a guy with a rocket launcher. On the other hand, we had about 12 local convenience stores robbed by a guy who threated the clerk with a carpenter's hammer. What are you going to do pass a law were only a license carpenter can own a carpenter's hammer.
Anyone who thinks gun laws will or have ever prevented a crime needs to look at court records. Most times all small time hoods have been arrested several times and put on probation or let out having severed little of their sentence.
I really doubt the guy in the boat would have done anything if he had a gun. He's totally out gunned. I really don't think the concealed weapon's law are that much a problem.You should know the responsibility you have when carrying a firearm for personal defense. Unless you put yourself in situations where you would be unsafe by yourself, you'll find little use in carrying a weapon.
