Women, ALL women, should carry a gun

[Vendzilla]

Love to see them actually find it amongst all the mountain of crap that is inside the average handbag.

they actually have purses that are made with that in mind, I got a really nice one for my mom, has a built in holster. My daughter uses a special holster I got for her

Just like a car then... Great point.

No, a car is a useful item that is usually used several times a week. It is a transportation machine. A gun is not useful on a daily basis. It's a 'just in case' item. It's also meant to kill people. a car's first purpose is not to kill people.

Interestingly enough, I use guns 5 to 7 days a week and have yet to kill anybody.

Maybe I'm just a bad shot.

No, you practice a lot, luckily while not aiming at people.

Hmmm. Interesting as well. I thought I did a hell of a lot more than just practicing but thanks for straightening me out.

I think the word she is looking for is deterrent? The one day you don't have it, is the day you need it.

Aaron, as you get older, think magnesium shot in a shotgun!

[CDSmith]

Aaron, you've never killed anything? :D


I had a racoon problem in my neighborhood a few years back, could have used you. Come to think of it there are a few crows here that could stand a visit.

People no, things yes.

So if you've never killed anything with your firearms, and you're not practicing, what would you call the activity you are doing with it so many times a week?

[AaronM]

I said I've never killed anybody, not anything.

What would I call the activity? "Business" and "pleasure" some of which includes practice.

Would you say a bow is also not a useful daily item and is meant to kill people? How about a switchblade? Nunchucks?

I could fuck your world up with a cheese grater....Or, I could just use it for grating cheese. It's a tool and how a person decides to use said tool is all that matters. Same with guns although obviously more people will use a firearm over a cheese grater if they decide to kill somebody.

How many people were killed at this webmaster event? http://fubarwebmasters.com/galleries.php?id=1312

[AaronM]

Elli,

How many times have you shot a gun?

[Elli]

Elli,

How many times have you shot a gun?

about a half dozen different times. Exhilirating experience! But I would never want one in my house.

Yes, a gun is a tool. But what happens when you use a gun properly is much different from what happens if you use a cheese grater for its main purpose. A hammer is a useful tool, but I don't see many people who feel the need to carry one on their person everywhere they go.

[AaronM]

Very cool. So, how many people did you kill?

[AaronM]

So again, assuming you used the guns by your definition of "properly", how many people did you kill?

Or did you use the guns improperly?

I practiced.

[AaronM]

I practiced.

I'm confused. If you would not want a gun in your home and don't believe in carrying one, exactly what is it you are practicing for?

[raymor]

lol why american's so paranoid? sleeping with a gun under their pillow or in secret compartments like a hood rat or drug dealer ....

I'm not a fan of "under the pillow" at all, but are you not "paranoid" enough to have a smoke alarm? Most likely you'll never NEED your smoke alarm, but when you need it you really need it. Also for me at least knowing that I have three properly working smoke alarms in the house gives me peace of mind - just in case. It's the same with my pistol. I'll probably not need it any time soon, but I like knowing that I can protect my family, just in case.

I did have one occurence so far when several thugs were trying to break in the house. One got his head in and found himself starting down the twin barrels of a shotgun. They all left pretty quick. Aside from that one occurence where I actually had to present a weapon, there have been a few instances where someone acted like they MIGHT have committed an assault until I told them to back off in such a way that it was clear that they had better do so. In one case the drink perpretrator had a knife and was coming after my brother. Knowing that I sometimes carry a pistol, they settled down when I commanded them to do so. I don't know how those would have turned out had I been unarmed.

the rest of the western world gets buy just fine without this silliness.

[Cyber Fucker]

Hell no!

[Grapesoda]

They wouldn't need a gun if they stayed in the kitchen at all times.

And if a woman ever gets assaulted in her own kitchen, she has everything she needs to defend herself there: pots and pans, knifes, pepper, boiling water, etc..

hummm.... yo bro... can ya hold off on the rape here for a bit and have a cupa' with me... (boils water to toss in attackers face)... take that you fuck!!!

[MrMaxwell]

What stood out about this thread was the common thought that someone doesn't want to own a gun because they don't want to "live that way".

Never forget, you can live in the best neighborhood, never go to a "bad area", but you may run into someone who decided to come to your "good neighborhood" to do harm to some "good people" he saw as an "easy target". Is it likely? No. If it happens, and you can't meet his level of force, that three to thirty minute wait for the police to arrive - if you can access a phone - is going to be an eternity. If you ever run into that person, having a firearm will be "the only way you can live".

I don't have a child so I can't speak on having a gun or not if there is a child. The numbers, from what I have read, show that a firearm successfully defends a family in a number which is a high multiple of the times it would accidentally harm one. When the firearm did accidentally harm someone, it was usually due to gross ridiculous negligence.

Sure- people can argue- no guns, no gun violence. Like it or not, living in the states, people have guns. Not as many as foreigners see on television. They tend to think that 99% of us are firearm owners and walking around shooting things like they see in westerns. Not true - AT ALL.

What also is not true is that gun control can help reduce crime in America. The guns are here. The people who want them have and always will have access to them. The bad people who know YOU don't have one WILL target YOU.

Every city with restrictive firearm laws have caused HUGE gun violence rates. Go read about Washington DC.

If you take the ignorance and emotion based thinking out of it, here in the states, good people owning firearms by and large will reduce crime. Period. Gun control advocates are guilty of causing innocent people to die in the states. Period.

Still don't believe me? Okay- let's outlaw firearms, tomorrow. Or restrict the hell out of them. Tomorrow. Make huge sweeping gun control laws. Blam.

What happened when they tried that with alcohol? With drugs?

Get the picture?

Outlaw them, control them more, create a bigger street market and more incentive to import them and what happens?

Anyone with a brain cell that can talk with one single other one SHOULD realize that gun control in America is pretty stupid.

Outside of limiting CRIMINALS or MENTALLY ILL people from owning them, gun control is an evil feel good but harm causing farce. Period.

And then you have the historical disarment of societies and what governments have always immediately done after.. if that wasn't enough to get through to you. We still have some illusion of freedom in the states, sort of, kind of. Firearm ownership is our last hope in some ways. At least some of us have SOME tiny little form of resistance left. Kind of.

[MrMaxwell]

It's up to every woman to know if she's going to be able to pull on and use one. If you are likely to freeze and the attacker could end up using it on you, don't carry one. If you are not willing to accept the potential liability of misusing one, don't carry one. But don't ever tell any other person THEY can't defend THEMSELVES.. People who dissuade other good people from being protected are responsible for a lot of innocent people being defenseless. At least if you have one, you've got a chance... And yeah, women with guns ARE hot.. women who can fight ARE hot..

[MrMaxwell]

Let's see any gun control nut put this up in his yard and show me a picture. I've never seen it. Unless you live in a very very exclusvie area with its own security force. Then, maybe.. you would..

[Shotsie]

Aaron, you've never killed anything? :D

Get yourself a bluetick coonhound and a .22LR rifle with a scope, Marlin makes some nice ones. You'll never have a varmint problem again.

[MrMaxwell]

The thread shuts right down when logic comes in.. antis/pro gun control morons have no excuses left, so they leave

Good riddance

Now move out of the states

[nico-t]

i already find it preposterous that women are allowed to drive, now they want them to carry a gun? Women with cars & guns = total chaos

[Fletch XXX]

funny thing is in most places it crime to carry nunchukus lol

what kind of world is it where a man cant take two sticks and a rope and protect himself?

I dont even need to register or a permit to carry a gun, but some wood and rope, ILLEGALCARRY! hahah

LOLOL

[Bryan G]

And that means it worthy of a thread on GFY? Wow.

Wow at you actually. Are you new to gfy? Have you seen some of the threads posted?

[CurrentlySober]

i cant afford a woman... let alone a gun

[LAJ]

I had a girlfriend from the SF bay area, she used to work at a large hospital in the city years ago. She was up here visiting me and told me she carried a gun in her purse when going to work.

Honestly, it's not something that's ever come up with any local women I've ever dated, but I can understand someone living in pretty much any big US city wanting to carry. And frankly when it's someone you care about you want them to be able to protect themselves. As long as they know how to use the thing that is.

Up here in Canada things like mace, bear spray, tasers, etc, are illegal, only cops can use them.

The irony being that smaller cities and towns tend to have much higher crime rates per capita than big US cities. There is no need to carry a gun.

[CDSmith]

That's a bit of a broad assessment J. Didn't you mean "most" big US cities? Because there are some pretty major centers down there that have some pretty massive murder rates, assault rates, rapes, etc. The hospital she worked at in San Fran was rather huge and was not safe for a female to walk the area alone at night, on the way to a car, bus, etc.

Even the hospital I worked at years ago is large and in a central part of Winnipeg, Canada. Not the most violent area of the city mind you, but nurses and female staff members getting off work late at night were and are still urged to walk with someone or call security for an escort to their vehicles. Once in a while you hear about an assault, sexual assault, or some other crime going on committed against a female staffer in that area, and when it does happen a lot of them start thinking more about how to better protect themselves.

Saying "there is no need" is pretty naive. Especially in this day and age.

Sorry the reply took so long, I lost track of this thread at some point.

[brassmonkey]

for what? dont think it's too dangerous the bedroom to the kitchen

[TurboAngel]

I have thought about getting a gun but haven't. Here in NC we can get a consoled deadly weapon permit so if I was to get one I could carry it with me.
