THIS is why all states should allow concealed carry. - GoFuckYourself.com

Although I'm sorry to here that the store owner was injured, I'm sure he feels a great sense of accomplishment for being able to protect his business and employees. Well wishes to him for a speedy recovery.

Having a weapon will not protect you. The armour will protect. You having a weapon may aggravate other people to attack you.

I just think that a concealed weapon can't really be hidden from other people. People read minds nowadays.

Last month AZ passed a law where they no longer require a permit for a CCW. As long as you can legally own the gun, you can legally carry concealed.

Why not simply allow businesses the option of installing long titanium spikes within the floor, that can be activated by a switch in the event of a robbery.

Step 1. Robbers come in.
Step 2. Robbers bust out some guns.
Step 3. Hit the switch.
Step 4. 48" long spikes spaced evenly apart at 2" come thrusting up from the floor in the blink of an eye, instantly killing robbers.

Smooth. Efficient. Foolproof.

I mean, if we're talking about issuing a license to kill in the name of "protection", then that would certainly do the job much better than a gun in my opinion. Probably even get a discount on their insurance. Like installing an alarm system.

tbh, i'm torn. as a gun advocate and owner, my actions follow my belief in the right to bear arms. but as i grow older, i wonder if allowing more people free reign with guns is the answer.

i just don't know. reading the article, that was no less than a total shoot out, i've seen video of shoot outs and shooters simply start firing randomly with little thought/mental clarity to aim or follow training procedures etc. i.e. start allowing everyone to conceal and i have a feeling we are going to start needing body bags for innocent people.

Um...Not everyone can conceal. Only those who can legally own. If the Government trusts you enough to allow you to buy a gun then why don't they trust you to carry it concealed? MOST people who are legal do not do the kind of shit you are referring to. I've seen a few of the videos you are referring to and they were all gang bangers or drunks in a bar. Neither of which can lawfully carry concealed or otherwise.

Current laws allow legal gun owners to open carry with no license in 50% of the United States. http://opencarry.org/opencarry.html

If someone is pointing a gun at you, sure go ahead and impale them on titanium spikes. I have no problem with that.

I doubt most places can afford to install something like that and it's not really an option in a situation where there might be innocent bystanders in the store.

If it's a matter of expense, then store owners should be able to choose whatever method they like for murdering their potential robbers. Like, maybe a well-off owner gets the spikes installed, but then maybe another owner who's struggling just opts for dropping cheap home-made napalm on them from overhead.

Really, if it's all about cost, then by all means, let's make our killings on the cheap.

You have a right to meet lethal force with lethal force. The robber needs to take that into account when he points a weapon at someone.

If a robber points a gun at a police officer what do you think happens? Why should it be any different when he points it at a store owner?

You didn't answer my question. I wasn't debating the idea of lethal force meeting lethal force. In fact, I was streamlining it.

But you didn't answer my question. How is a wild west style shootout any better for the "innocent bystanders" than the possibility of being fatally impaled?

If you want to be able to legally kill, and that IS what this is about, then do it in the most economical foolproof way possible. Not some half baked dream of being Dirty Harry. There are much more effective ways of killing people.

I'm curious how many of you would consider it to be okay if say, another clerk from the back room came up behind the robber with a SOG knife, and severed his spinal cord or slit his throat. What's the difference right? If you're justified in killing them, (or permanently maiming them) you should at least be allowed to be creative, yes?

No need for concealed carry permits and all that nonsense. Just execute the piece of shit in whatever way tickles your pickle.

Killing in self defense requires the pretense of desperation and the threat of eminent death yourself.

Creativity would imply you had the leisure to ponder and thus you would be exercising deadly force, not countering it WITH deadly force.

While I take your point, a court would look upon most shoot outs as deadly force versus deadly force, while sneaking up on someone and murdering them would be...murder. Because the act of sneaking up implies that you were just as able to sneak away, and if your comrades were held at gun point you would have no way of knowing the circumstances. IE - the persons holding them at gun point had earlier identified themselves as an undercover cop.

Okay, so sneaking up is out.
Any reason the clerk behind the counter (the one facing the gun) can't be creative? Maybe throwing a jar of sulfuric acid in his face for example.

Not sure I understand this. People who want to shoot others will find a way to get a gun regardless of the legalities. At least with a concealed license, there will be people that could possibly prevent these things from happening.

no permit required, see the post below. the new legislation also allows for guns that are manufactured in the state of AZ to not have to follow federal gun laws/registration.
i am unsure that the solution to the fact that people who want to shoot others can get easily get a gun is to let anyone else who wants to walk around with a (possibly unregistered) hand gun in their pants do so.

I just find the different views people have on this stuff to be fascinating. There are people that will tell you that guns are straight up "evil". And then there are others that will defend them (guns) with the same ferocity they would use to defend their own child, yet most have no idea what a real gunshot does to a real body. Most have never seen a dead body. And most would probably be incapable of killing another human up close and personal when the event presented itself.

I find both ends to be ridiculous. And so, I come up with ideas and questions to get people thinking a little deeper than just what they've seen on tv. I think a lot of people want to carry because it would let them feel like some kind of bad ass. Psuedo-authority is not a good thing for anyone. I hear a lot of, "well, if someone had a concealed carry, they could have prevented this...." but the reality is, more people would probably die for no reason.

Having a gun and the ability to kill a man where he stands do not come as a package deal.

At the end of the day, for most people guns are gadgets. They fetishize them the same way they fetishize cameras or computers or whatever. But this is a gadget that makes you stand a little taller and maybe act a little tougher than you should and some people love that.

I lived in Tucson for a long while and I know where the store in the story is and I can tell you right now, there isn't shit in the dump worth losing your life over, or worth taking a life over.

And for the record the store owner lit those guys up with a POS Mossberg shotgun, not a concealed handgun (a good friend of mine is a Tucson reporter).

I don't think that is true about the legislation. That's a separate thing which, as far as I know, is not yet law.

Also, not all states require training with the gun to qualify for a CCW.

cwd · 05-14-2010, 08:04 AM

If we are talking about guns as a preventive of crime, then wouldn't open carry be more effective than concealed? Say you are in a store, waiting in line with your glock on your belt for everyone to see and a robber walks in with intent. If the robber saw someone with a gun wouldn't they then look for another place to rob?

Plus, if you are legally entitled to carry, why hide it? It would seem only someone who either illegally obtained the firearm or has illegal motives for carrying would want to conceal.

On one hand I agree with you. However the other side to that is:

Open carry can often make others around you feel uncomfortable. The other thing is that most people think that a permit is required for you to own a gun, which is not the case in most states, and they don't understand that it is legal to open carry in many areas. It's not unheard of for people to call the Police and report a guy with a gun in a store. The Police show up and everything is legal. That's a waste of Police time and resources because some idiot in the public THINKS he knows the law.

Open carry attracts more attention and being the center of attention is not what carrying a firearm is about. I do open carry at times but when I do I am very aware of how my gun is positioned and I do my best to limit it's visibility. If I'm standing at a counter then I will put my right side to the counter and limit the exposure of my gun. Sitting in a booth then I never sit on the side where my gun can be seen.

why you would describe my view as wishy washy is beyond me, i see both sides and as i mature in life my views on life also mature and evolve. that's not wishy washy (flip-flopping from one side to the other).

in fact, i own several handguns and rifles, not A firearm. moreover, as i stated, my actions belie my beliefs in the right to bear arms. that has not changed.

Amputate Your Head There can be only one Industry Role: Join Date: Aug 2001 Location: Somewhere else Posts: 39,075	I'm curious how many of you would consider it to be okay if say, another clerk from the back room came up behind the robber with a SOG knife, and severed his spinal cord or slit his throat. What's the difference right? If you're justified in killing them, (or permanently maiming them) you should at least be allowed to be creative, yes? No need for concealed carry permits and all that nonsense. Just execute the piece of shit in whatever way tickles your pickle. __________________ SIG TOO BIG

cwd Confirmed User Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: In a dream Posts: 1,955	If we are talking about guns as a preventive of crime, then wouldn't open carry be more effective than concealed? Say you are in a store, waiting in line with your glock on your belt for everyone to see and a robber walks in with intent. If the robber saw someone with a gun wouldn't they then look for another place to rob? Plus, if you are legally entitled to carry, why hide it? It would seem only someone who either illegally obtained the firearm or has illegal motives for carrying would want to conceal.
