I have 3 guns in total. An AR15, .12 gauge and a glock. All of them are kept AT HOME in a safe. They are solely for self defense and the shooting range. I have never had the desire to take them out in public. I think that's stupid for a plethora of reasons. Most people do it for show and are usually compensating for something when they do.
The Roy Rogers myth of the "Good guy" is just that, bullshit. Stranger on stranger interaction with a firearm is rare compared to suicide in the home, domestic violence in the home, or accidental in the home. And like you said, even if you introduce a firearm in a stranger on stranger event, you are more likely to get injured or killed, or injure a bystander than to successfully hit your intended target.
Civilians even with concealed or open carry permits still do not have the constant stress shooting training required that law enforcement has to maintain through out their careers.
And the Dallas police murders are a perfect example as to why public carry is a bad idea. 5 cops were murdered, but it took hours longer to finally spot the killer because of all the insecure morons they had to stop and check to make sure they were not the perp.
Unless you have a uniform or job that requires you to carry in public, leave that shit at home or locked up in your car.
Wow.
Whatta concept.
Right up there with the sound of one hand clapping....
And - where the hell did you people cook up this "good guy with a gun" bullshit?
You think if some maniac starts shooting up Walmart that I' m going to put my ass on the line for you?
Bwahahaha
Piss on that - I'm putting as much distance between me and the shooting as possible - and will not stick my neck out for anyone but family or real close friends.
Police are under no obligation to stick their necks out for you - you think I am?
You have a pretty big opinion of yourself there..
I'll use my gun - as a last ditch effort if cornered to protect myself.
You do whatever you gotta do.
