Atlanta mass shooting targets asian massage parlors

Do women who carry a gun for protection give you the creeps because they might say they have to have one.

Yes.

My sister in law carries - when asked, she very adamantly insists it’s for protection. This is also the same woman who stopped me from taking action against litterers by telling me “you’re in Texas, they will shoot you”. Anyway, when I asked her what kind of gun she had and if I could see it, it took more than a few minutes for her to get at it, then hand it to me. She would not be able to defend herself in a “surprise” situation.

Sometimes I show women my Love Gun. It's just a pea shooter, though.

Yeah, it's like those weirdos that have to have frisbees. They can't play with a ball, or set up a badminton net? A POX on their households!

Not to mention if somebody snatches her purse there goes her "protection". Sorta like people hiking in bear country who carry their gun in their backpack.

I didn't say she carried it in her purse.

Probably the only time a gun actually WAS a penis substitute.

I don't understand what all this is about.

If a woman carries, why is the assumption that she carries it in her purse? or ... her vagina? I don't even want to know why Forbin's mind is going there ...

Or at least the top of her stockings.

Shit I said that out loud.

So where was she carrying it that it took her "a few minutes to get at it"? Not that I thought vajayjay. I thought purse as well.

hip holster. Covered by a longish blouse.

The article Shooter linked to literally talks about a woman who had a gun hidden in her vagina, you idiot.

there there, nobody thinks you're a dirty old man.

Do they call her "double stuff"?

Wow! Yeah, there isn't any point to her carrying if she can't draw from concealment in less than around a second or so.

it is amazing but some people think a gun is magic or something. They just don't think it through.

Well yeah, but my thing is, if you are mentally or physically incapable of "getting at" a firearm holstered at your hip under what sounds like fairly typical concealment in a whole hell of a lot less than "a few minutes" (I mean seriously????), then why on earth are you carrying a firearm in the first place? Back when I took a pretty basic combat handgun class, we had to be able to (starting with both hands up at our heads) draw from concealment and fire two aimed shots in 1.5 seconds or less in order to pass...and that was just a basic, "101" type class.

Enough with the proper way to carry.

We can agree most gun owners are idiots.

Define "we" please.

Anyone who isn't an idiot.

Disagree?

I do, and I am neither a gun owner nor a particular defender of the 2nd amendment, at least in its present form.

Basically, you are trying to "make your point" by insulting anyone who doesn't hold to your point of view. That is unfortunate. The vast majority of gun owners use them for hunting more than anything else, and are very careful about them. They are anything but "idiots".

The vast majority of gun owners own multiple guns.

The idiocy here comes into affect in that "most gun owners" listen to the NRA channel and Fox News. The propaganda being pumped into their minds is intense. So much so that they make ridiculous statements like "I left my gun on the porch and it didn't kill anybody" or "you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands".

What "most gun owners" need to hear is that, like the article @steve2^4 posted last week or two weeks ago is that there are many types of gun violence and resolutions to each of those types will not in any way affect their ability to own a gun or hunt.

*Any way you or he will acknowledge as valid. Be wary of anyone who presumes to hold a monopoly over terms like "reasonable."

Well, I wouldn't exactly say I have a monopoly on being reasonable. It's just that there aren't very many people who are actually all that reasonable. In fact, when it comes right down to it, you and I are about the only ones.

And sometimes I have doubts even about you...

As well you should!

and your point is? If your point is "you only need one gun to hunt" that may only be true if you only hunt one species or general type of game. If you only hunt ducks you only need a shotgun. If you hunt ducks and hunt elk out west you'd need a powerful flat-shooting rifle - etc etc depending on your situation. Even for self defense you might need a semi-auto short barreled shotgun for home defense, and a concealed pistol for "self" defense when out & about. Different purposes call for different guns. And if you are a responsible, vetted & lawful gun owner does it matter how many guns you have? Yet if you are a danger/criminal, one gun is more than you should have.
