I've not read of too many CCW holders shooting innocent individuals while repelling crime...

There is always that possibility, but what if you had to take that chance to save the lives of family members? Would you take it?
Same goes for most places BG's pick out their victims...
4. We do not want the CHL holder to do more damage than the BG.
I agree, but life is not fair...we do what we have to do to survive.
I know that there are other aspects of a plan, but I would like to limit this thread to the question of who would you want to be carrying in a crowded place where your wife or children were at the time. |
I would feel quite comfortable if every single person at church was armed.
Do we or do we not believe in 'RKBA'? Are you now suggesting that we ought to decide who can carry in crowded places? That's exactly what the current administration would like to do...no carry anywhere...it's very dangerous you know.
You keep the change, I'll keep my guns and religion.
Stay armed...stay respectful...stay safe!
