So if one of these assholes with a gun threatens a man's family, are you suggesting that the only thing they can do is to call the "fucking cops," as you often refer to them, even though the cops don't really protect anybody, they just clean up after the crime?
You are completely right in your claims that gun lovers are nutty and very dangerous, but even though a gun for protection is fraught with problems, it is still really the only game out there. It is exactly what the cops will bring to deal with a perp with a gun.
I was raised with guns in the "hillbilly" area of east TN amongst a neighborhood where Every house had multiple guns and every man and boy along with many girls knew how to shoot. Heck, I've been making my own ammo since I was 14 or 15 years old.
I have had professional training in how to shoot from the US government and also from other CCW trainers. So I do know that I won't, barring an act of a god I don't believe in, make the mistakes that litter this post. Every time I touch a gun I consciously think about how quickly my life as I know it could go down the shithole if I make a mistake, maybe even if I don't.
Yet, I am not really your target demographic in that I don't romanticize guns, and I have been sickened and appalled at the insanity that I have seen in the very few times I have gone to firing ranges here in the south because of their nuttery and Anti-obama/NATO/black man/liberals/Illuminati/NRA crap that they have posted so often on their walls.
Wow, I'm rambling.. back to topic..
In my Mexican, Central American and South American travel and experience I came into constant contact with gangs, often but not always connected with Narcotics trade. How would you recommend that a man protect his family in area's that are filled with gangs? Many cities in the US have this problem, but some cities are actively combating the gang problems, so for the purpose of discussion, assume we are not in one of those areas that has a strong and active anti-gang force.
