[QUOTE="i like guns, post: 2389416, member: 567530"] WRONG. If you carry concealed then why would that make you more likely to get hurt/killed? If a bad situation arises then having a means of self defense will only INCREASE your chances of survival. And Switzerland and Holland have almost NO gun control at all, yet they have less crime than both Canada AND the United States. There are just too many variables to form any conclusions about guns when comparing different countries or areas. I live in an area with very little crime, and I carry because it makes me prepared. You cant say that youll never be attacked in an area with little crime because there is a chance you can be, and although its smaller it can still happen. Why not be prepared? Theres no downside to carrying, contrary to what you think. Carrying a gun does NOT lead to a situation where a gun more likely gets used. The ONLY time you should pull a gun is when your life is in danger. If you dont have a gun and your life is in danger, then good luck. If what you are talking about is a situation where you get into an argument and pull a gun, then that person should not be carrying. And why dont YOU provide the statistics? I can guarantee that youll fine NONE that support your claim. Say you have a daughter. A man with a knife comes up and tries to kidmap her right from you. Can you collect insurance on her, and make things right?
