Default Shootings everywhere - concealed carry time?

Man, for the last few months it seems like there's so many crazy fuckers going off shooting up bunches of people. It really makes me consider owning a gun. Now I know for some of you, owning a gun is like owning a washer/dryer, but I've never owned my own gun. I've shot plenty, as a kid, as an adult, but I've never owned one, and obviously never carried one in public.

With all the crazy people out there, and the likelihood that it's going to get worse just because the super high unemployment rate is stressing out a lot of stupid fuckers, it's got me wondering if I should apply for a concealed carry permit in Texas and just strap a gun to my leg or something... anyone else feeling concerned about the spree shootings these days?

Owning a gun is just gonna makes things worse... jesus fucking christ republicans, are you really THAT stupid??? You really want to ADD to the current problem, instead of taking away???

I'm not a Republican, or a Democrat, I don't even vote and I think they're all equally corrupt and worthless.

I just don't want to be caught in a situation where some crazy motherfucker starts shooting and all I can do is lie down and hope he doesn't shoot me. That's not how I want to go out.

If it never happens, ideally I'd never ever once have to touch the gun aside from strapping it on, and not one person on earth would ever know I'm carrying it, but just in case, I'm on the verge of wanting to have one on me.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.


<----carrys a Glock 19. If there was not a requirement for a concealed weapon permit and it was pretty general that people carried weapons, there would be a lot less crime.

Right, and what if some sick twisted freak has the same beliefs as you and also wants to carry, it'll only add to the problem.

See the problem in this country is that you can't trust ANYONE with a handgun. That's the motherfucking problem. You just don't know people, someone might look alright to you, decent, etc... but then one day he could be having a really bad day and then he snaps.
Next thing you know, you got another fucking shooting spree story on the news.

Yeah but I'm different .

Seriously though, regardless of whether or not I choose to carry, that sick twisted freak is going to do what he's going to do. I'm starting to ask myself what I'll do if I happen to run into him someday.

I mean, I understand what you're saying, if NOBODY had guns this wouldn't be happening, spree stabbings surely result in lower casualty counts, but the reality is that guns ARE everywhere in this country and if you happen to NOT have one when the other guy does, you're fucked.

Pray? Bro, whether you're carrying or not, sadly, if it's your time to go even a BAZOOKA won't help you. If it's your time to go there's nothing you can do, but whether you're carrying or not, if it's NOT your time to go, then simply nothing will happen to you. Plain and simple.

Think of all the people who DON'T carry guns who have road rage. Imagine the same people with guns.

That sick twisted freak is going to carry a gun whether or not he has a concealed carry permit. I'd like to see the statistics of how many psycho shooters are carrying legally.

Like Philth said, people kill people, not guns.

So I shouldn't steer my car on the freeway either? There's no "time to go" fate as far as my views of life go. You DO have a degree of control in your own life, sure if you get hit by a meteor there's not much you can do, but if that guy shows up with a gun and it's "my time", it's way more likely to be MY TIME if I'm standing there with my dick in my hand than it is if I have a chance to fight back.

Seriously, you can't logically deny that you can take steps to ensure you WILL live longer. "Your time" will come, but you definitely can make it come LATER if you put forth the effort to do so.

Like I said in the other thread, I should not be punished because of someone's potential to go off the deep end and kill a bunch of people. Having the potential to commit a crime is not a crime and we should not be punished for it.


I think all able persons should carry concealed. Able persons being someone that has no history of violence or issues in the head.

LOL at people who think putting a gun in the hand or someone who is NOT crazy (like the op) is going to add to the problem. Idiots.

I have extreme road rage (old people piss me off) and I don't shoot people who piss me off.

The crazy fucks will always find a way to get a gun anyways. The normal people who carry guns are not adding to the problem.

I've come to the conclusion today that m3 is a fucking retard and is good for nothing except stealing copyrighted material, being a fucking drugged up hippie and
jailbait.

That episode of futurama where the aliens want to eat Lela for eating their children ... Your the hippie in that episode.

No one, and I mean laws or people alike, will tell me that I am not allowed to carry a weapon on my person to protect myself, my friends, and my family. No one.

Prohibiting weapons will not help the situation AT ALL. People are still going to be able to get guns even easier then they would now. Criminals don't have regulations or do background checks, they just care about the money. So they will sell to any and everyone. Plus that's creating a huge black market for those criminals to take advantage of. Which will lead to more violence that comes from those criminal operations.

It's really not that hard to understand.

Concealed weapons permit or not, you're not going to find too many workplaces that will allow you to bring firearms into the office. In most cases, they are not even allowed in their parking lots and property.
