"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.
This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
I just wonder how you would like it when people like me start open
carrying? It seems you think it's a great idea for everyone to have open
carry. When we "liberals" start carrying our guns out in public
something tells me you're not going to like it. Apparently, you think
only people like you are going to open carry. You can believe me, when
people who vehemently disagree with everything you stand for and dislike
you personally start coming around you carrying loaded weapons I think
your discomfort level is going to go off the chart. If open carry is
allowed you can count on those of us who oppose you politically to be
carrying beau-coup firepower everywhere we go. Hope you like it.

that you will behave irresponsibly doesn't mean the rest of us do.
Chief Eagle, I hate to correct you on this matter, but because of

TMT
I already have two Glocks, and I know how to use them. I would use them
on anyone who presents a legitimate threat of death or great bodily harm
to me or anyone else I care about. I like guns. I have more than enough
for my protection. My "liberalism" is never going to wear off. So what
do you do when you have someone you think is liberal but they act in a
way you believe is conservative, like carrying a gun? Maybe what you
think about liberals is wrong. You should rethink your conservative
beliefs. They don't comport with reality. A liberal with a gun? Does
that go along with what a conservative thinks a liberal would do? Hmmm?
Hawke
I go to a gun club to shoot all the time. I'm amazed at how bad most
people shoot. You would think that someone who goes to a gun club to
shoot a gun they own would be able to shoot a lot better than anyone off
the street but you'd be surprised how lousy most gun owners are at using
their weapon. Not only are most people bad shots they are also very bad
at safely handling their weapons. Lots of people are a threat to
themselves and others just because of their lack of competence. Then you
have the element of actually using a gun in a high stress situation. The
average Joe can't shoot worth beans and then you put him under massive
stress and watch how he reacts. It's not pretty. Most people should not
bother getting a gun. It takes a real commitment to have one; to know
how to use it safely, to be any good with it, to have the mental
fortitude to use it if you have to, and to care for it properly. That's
way too much for most people. But for the few that are willing to take
the time to learn how to do it right then there is no reason not to. But
it's not for the average schmo. Even if it is legal.
Hawke
That's easy to say now.

Ever been around irresponsible people carrying guns? I have. Drunks,
gang banging kids, drug dealers, etc. have all been known to carry guns.
More of them than regular people, if you ask me. I've been around people
with guns on their belt I didn't have a good feeling about. Try it
sometime. You might get a different opinion. I don't feel the least bit
worried at a controlled range. But that isn't what I'm talking about. I

Am I telling you that I'm not responsible with guns? No. I am. I wasn't
always though. But how do you know that about me or any other stranger
you see carrying a gun? You don't. You have to take the risk that I'm as
safe as you. That won't always be the case though, will it?

It's just different when everybody has a gun. If you don't have a bit of
an uneasy feeling when you see someone with a gun and you don't know
them well then I don't get you. I only feel secure when I know the
people with guns are safe and responsible. I know that won't be the case
if everyone has one.

Me too. So you have no advantage and you life is in my hands if I decide
to go off. You have no worry about that, right? Anyone can go off and
kill you if they have a loaded weapon handy. That is supposed to make a
normal person at least a little nervous. I don't even like being around
cops when they are carrying their guns. Unless I have one too. Then I
feel better.

Not where I live and not in most of the U.S. But the truth is even if
you could go around carrying openly how many people would actually do
it? I think almost nobody would. It's too inconvenient and what is the
point. You just don't need a gun all that often. So far I've never
needed one for self protection in my life.

That's exactly my point. Most of us think we're responsible just like we
think we're good drivers. But there are plenty of people who can't drive
worth crap and there are plenty that are not responsible with guns. I
can see carrying openly when you're out in the boonies but in town I
can't see any reason for it. If you want to get a permit and carry
concealed I think that is sensible. But just walking around everybody
else with a gun on your hip like a cop seems a little weird, if you ask me.

Being around irresponsible drunks and gang-bangers more than regular regular
people says a lot about your character. Seems like those are your "regular"
people, wouldn't you say?
Only 8 States do not permit open carry. Your state is a rural open carry
State, if I recall, where it's possible in populations under 200,000.

You would be surprised to learn that most gun owners are responsible and
have learned how to safely handle and carry their guns. You need to hang out
with a better class of people. Anyway, this really has nothing to do with
your two Glocks, we were wondering if TMT's mommies had two Glocks. That
would make it 4 Glocks total.

Roger that.
If ya wanna be a cop, do the training regimen and take the job.
A CCW does not make the posessor an ersatz cop, champion of the
oppressed, defender of others. It merely conveys the legal right to
carry a weapon. Actual use of that weapon is subject to lots more law,
both criminal and civial. Legal defense is expensive, figure $50K
minimum. Acceptable if death would obviously and provably been the
result of not killing, pricey otherwise. You have seconds to make that
decision, and however that turns out the perp's rellies who mourned
his sorry ass while he was planted at public cost will know your
address.
Uh, what universe are you from? Any viewpoint, as long as it's from the
left. The traditional definition of liberal does not apply.
Conservatives need not apply.
It must be very fustrating to you that your insults don't work in
extracting personal info that you desperately want.

Nobody really cares much what you "suspect."
What would you do if a liberal co-worker asked you to teach them to
shoot a firearm?
Aren't there already laws prohibiting all that? A bunch of laws?
Stacks of laws? Layer upon layer of laws?
Don't we hire people to enforce the law? A bunch of people?
Municipal Police, County Sherrif, State Troopers, US Marshall, FBI,
ATF???
How come you don't feel safe?
Oh, I know. You "feel" that one more law is going to make a
difference. Right? No? Two more laws? Three?
You're an idiot.
> I've been around people

Did you do something wrong? You remind me of the song, "stealing when

I never feel uncomfortable with other people in an open carry

If it's holstered or slung, I could give a shit. When they draw or
handle the firearm I pay attention. If they are unsafe, I'll move
away.

He did make the first step and came over to the survival newsgroup
from the beer making newsgroup where he asked how many gallons a five
gallon carboy would hold. But I digress. He came to survivalism, but
instead of joining us and learning something he is argumentative and
resists ideas that his nanny education, nanny media, and nanny state
have impressed upon him. In other words, he is unable to think for
himself or use sound reasoning principles.

Why can't conservatives do the same?

I couldn't believe they took the typical liberal activist story line and applied it to
open carry. Wyatt Cenac who was the corresponent in the piece has had a number of good
pieces lately.
Larry Wilmore can be a real hoot too.
Wes
I got some news for you. I lived in southern California for over 30
years. My high school's nickname was Guadalahabra high. I've been around
and have known lots of Mexicans for 40 years, so you don't need to tell
me anything about Mexicans. The only way I'd hand one of my guns to a
Mexican is if he was going to buy it for more than I paid for it.
Otherwise he's only going to get to see the business end of it. By the
way, for the most part I like Mexicans. But do I care about people in
general? Not that much. So how liberal does that sound? Maybe you don't
know what a liberal really is. Or maybe I'm not really one. I report,
you decide. Here's a hint though. Just because someone isn't a liberal
doesn't mean they're a conservative.
Hawke
Just like nobody cares what you "think".
Hawke
You're right on the money. The first problem you have if you use a gun
for self defense is are you correct in that judgment. Were you legally
right when you decided to use deadly force? You may have to make that
decision very quickly and without knowing a lot of the facts. Then if
you do use your weapon comes the second guessing by the state. Was it
all legal and proper? Hopefully it was and you aren't prosecuted for
using the weapon when you didn't have the legal right to do it. But even
if you were legally allowed to use the weapon you're not free from civil
liability. The person you shot can sue you even if you were legally in
the right and they may win in court. Last comes the psychological impact
on you that comes from shooting another human being. Some people have no
trouble with this but others are greatly affected by shooting another
person even though they had to. So the truth is it's a hell of a big
responsibility to even have a gun on you. Even more so if you actually
ever use it. Most people never give things like this a thought until its
way too late.
Hawke
No, it's a matter of you not actually being around very many shooters.
If you've been to a public range you would know what I'm talking about.
But you've probably only been to real fancy schmancy ranges like the
Beverly Hills Gun Club that Eddie Murphy went to in the movie Beverly
Hills Cop. If you have really been to any ranges open to the public you
would have seen many examples of dangerous gun handling and plenty of
people doing unsafe things with their weapons. I'll chalk up your
ignorance to lack of experience around average and below average gun
owners. You must be one of those elite republican businessmen that never
comes in contact with the little people.
Hawke
I'd help them out. I like teaching people how to use firearms safely.
I've even taken NRA classes for it.
Hawke
Yeah, whatever they do after I show them how to use a weapon properly is
their business. I also believe suicide is a natural right. So if they
want to end it all who am I to say they can't?
Hawke
Yeah, like murder. That's against the law isn't it? People still do it
anyway. Some people do. So should we no have laws become some people
break them? Laws never stop everyone from doing wrong. They do stop a
lot though and that is all we expect, not perfection.

That only points out that you have never been to a lot of places. Your
lack of experience is what allows you to feel safe around people with
guns. I can show you places in Oakland where you would not feel safe

I've also been to numerous ranges and haven't experienced safety problems,
knock wood. Even the first time shooters exhibit extra caution, in my
opinion, perhaps even more careful than the most experienced shooters.
Again, if I had to give my advice to you, that would be to associate with a
different class of people. Your bottom of the barrel pals will get you in
trouble someday. Maybe you are just shooting with all of those illegal
Mexicans you've grown to love over the past 40 years. Maybe they don't
understand the safety instructions in English?

Depending where you are, you may not have to worry about the civil courts.
Many Staes shield the self defender against civil repercussions if the
shooting was done in self defense. I'll agree about the psychological impact
that some people might feel. I may even feel sad for a short time but take
comfort in the fact that it was them instead of me or a loved one. Ice cream

But, that explains why some believe that laws of prohibition are
necessary for their survival. No matter that career criminals are
sociopaths or impulse driven individuals with little regard for
social graces. If one law doesn't do it, pass another.
It also explains why Hawke, TMT and others are deathly afraid of
individualism and libertarianism. They can't tolerate freedom and
liberty. They must have a strong government to protect them.

Now we've established that it's OK to beat others of the same species,
just don't beat them to death.
And "might makes right" according to natural laws.
So we must get our legal system from something other than natural
laws, don't you think?

Tool is a psychopath. Hawke is afraid.
An important reason for requiring training to get a CCW is to inform
applicants of these issues. Not all states require training. I
encourage everyone who buys a first handgun to get this training
whether or not they intend to carry or apply for a permit.
I strongly agree with Don. Get training!

I've said it many times I don't fit the label of liberal. I have views
that are what liberals advocate but I have some that conservatives
believe too. I've been an independent for many years. So the truth is
I've been trying to distance myself from both parties, and I have. But
just because I am anti gun control, to a point, and am anti illegal
immigration doesn't mean I believe in conservatism. I don't. Your
problem is that you don't get it that everyone doesn't fit neatly into
lib or conservative boxes. I have some views from both and belong to
neither. In contrast, you're just a garden variety right winger, which
means we know were you stand without you having to tell us.
Hawke
Not quite. Most of us are not "leftists" and it's true that we don't
bother with what people with closed minds like yours have to say most of
the time. We're glad to hear the opinions of people who have something
interesting to say. We have no time for people who just repeat the words
of radio talk show hosts. And you will find that many times we hear the
exact words of the likes of Hannity and Limbaugh repeated by right
wingers here all the time. Those we do ignore. Why not? If we want to
hear from bigoted, racist, ignorant, clowns, we can just tune in to them
on the radio.
Hawke
I can tell you that I have found that a lot of Mexicans are not good at
safe weapon handling. But that is just personal experience. Go to the
public ranges where there is no range master more often and you will see
that what I say is true. It's only logical that people with little
experience with firearms will not be as safe as experienced people are.
I have seen people do things at the public range you would not believe.
I've seen people start walking out to their targets when other people
are still shooting. I see people with terrible muzzle control sweep
people with their guns repeatedly. I've seen all kinds of scary things
done at the public range. In fact, I know a number of people who won't
even go because they think it's too dangerous.
You've seen nothing like that, you say. You are lucky. Either that or
you have not been to many public ranges, which is understandable because
they are disappearing all the time. All I know is what I have seen
myself. I have lots of experience with firearms. I shoot a lot with a
lot of different guns so I know what I'm doing. Most people shoot
infrequently and don't have experience with many different guns. You
seem to think those people are all "safe". I don't, and I keep a very
close watch on them if they are near me. As long as you keep going to
the nice, safe ranges you frequent then I guess you'll never see what I
have.
Hawke
That may be what motivates you but there are other people out there and
the only reason they haven't killed people is because it's against the
law. Don't make the mistake of thinking everyone thinks like you.

The world is full of people who are not normal. All over the idea of
what is right and wrong are completely different. So what keeps a
society in order is not what is normal but what is legal. Sometimes they
are the same and sometimes not. Our society is old so we have lots of
laws. Most don't apply to many situation but they are on the books. They
just add new ones but don't remove the old ones, which is why there are
so many laws.

Human behavior isn't like that. Why do we have traffic laws? Why speed
limits? Do they keep people from speeding? For the most part they do. So
law does deter people. Not everyone and not all the time, but most, most
of the time. And we're all criminals. Some of us just have not been
caught. You have broken laws in your life at some point. So you are a
criminal too, just haven't been caught.
> Punishment is not really a deterrent. All we need for that is to

Punishment has always been an effective deterrent. You look at most laws
and they are not for serious things. They're mainly regulations but they
do keep most people from breaking them or at least by very much. Some
work better than others though. But the better the enforcement the
better all laws work. When a cop is on the corner what laws will you
break? So you see, it deters you. It works the same on most other people
too. You just can't get everyone to obey every law every time. But it's
not designed to.
Hawke
You wouldn't wish that if it were you. You guys just don't get it do
you? Me having a loaded weapon on me is a threat. Don't you get that? I
don't have to do anything but let you know I'm carrying a gun and that
should alert you to the fact that I am a much bigger threat to your
health than the old lady in a wheelchair. If you can't understand why a
man with a gun is more dangerous to you than one without one then you
are incapable of understanding anything.
Hawke
Luckily I've been able to refrain from shooting anyone up to this point
in my life. I hope I can keep my record intact but I'm like a tea party
member. I'm really mad at what republicans have done to my country and I
have a gun. But I'm just like a tea party member so that's nothing for
anyone to worry about, right?
Hawke
Not like conservatives huh? They don't have any respect for power do
they? Give us a break, okay? Conservatives have no respect for anything
but power and force. If you try to use reason they call you a liberal.
> But, that explains why some believe that laws of prohibition are

Sounds good but when conservatives are in power there is no lessening of
laws, now is there? In fact, conservatives pass more laws restricting
your freedoms than liberals do. Look at what Bush did to your freedoms.
Here's a hint, they weren't expanded.
> It also explains why Hawke, TMT and others are deathly afraid of

We're just not in a fantasy like you boys are. Individualism and
libertarianism, huh? Let's see. Are you a member of a society, a family,
of a church, a business, of a local community, of a state, of a country,
are you a member of a club, are you a member of a political party, of a
sports team? I'll wager you are probably a member of all of those. And
then you claim to believe in individualism. Hah! no one that is living
in modern America is an individualist, least of all someone like you who
belongs to so many different social groups. Everyone is a part of so
many groups and organizations it isn't even funny. Besides that, you
already benefit from so many governmental protections you can't believe
it. Your whole life is the way it is due to government protections. But
leave it to guys like you to not even realize the truth even when it's
right in front of your own face.

Absolutely correct.
Which is the reason Ive NOT had to pull the trigger the last 6 times I
had to present my weapon. I hope..pray... that continues.

The MP told me he was taught, and did teach, "Do not un holster
unless you mean to fire it, do not fire unless you intend to shoot
some one, do not shoot some one unless you intend a fatal wound." Not
that you _had_ do all those things, but "It's not a game, it's not a
method for sending a 'message' - if you're not as serious as a heart
attack in a bus driver, do not even stop.
Or as I put it once, using a fake gun to try and scare off someone
merely wastes times you could have spent running away.

Most of them, unfortunately. I guess they figure that the participants
won't get enough noise over the long run to adversely affect them...

On the other subject of "making split-second decisions" about using
deadly force or not: that's a matter of training, too. But it is not
necessarily the sort of training you're going to get from the average CCW
instructor. It involves lots of "mental exercises", planning (yes
_planning_) then mentally and physically practicing what your actions
will be in any *of a lot of* given threatening situations.
I had a very wise hand-to-hand instructor in Riv-Div/Cos-Div training who
told us (in essence), "Your feet are your most effective defensive
weapons. Nobody WINS in hand-to-hand combat, one guy just loses worse
than the other. So USE your feet -- in almost every case by planting one
after the other as fast as you can. Only engage in personal combat when
it's the ONLY option available." Or that gist. Wise man. It paid off
in 'Nam. 100' of separation while armed is a _good_ thing!

I was range master for 14 yrs at our local gun club.
Mexicans..up to the 2nd generation..needed to be watched closely. Very
closely.
Some exceptions..but few..very few.
Gunner
If he saw what you've seen, they wouldn't be nice safe ranges, right?
I belong to two gun clubs and visit two public ranges. The clubs
aren't fancy. Dues at one are $20/yr.
I haven't seen the sort of reckless behavior you describe. If I were
to see such unsafe/incompetent behavior, I would not return to that
range.
The bad news for you is that a dumb cunt is far above you in brain
power. Which makes you really, really, stupid.
Hawke
Consider yourself lucky. But most of the idiot yahoos that I see doing
stupid stuff at the range are white guys, unfortunately.
Hawke
Since it's agreed that conservatives call you a liberal if you use
reason, then by all means call me a lib. The bad part for you is that
when people call you a conservative they know that you never use reason.
Just your feelings.

Because it doesn't happen. Hack is just sticking up for his boyfriend TMT.
It's Hack's basement that TMT visits when he's lonely, you know, Hack's two

I stay away from public ranges. I shoot at home, family property or the club I belong to.
For the most part club members have it together. Sporatic incidents have declined once we
replaced the combination lock on the gate (too many shared the combination) with a RFID
badge scanner.
For a social reason we teach kids to drive while in school. For political reasons we
don't teach them about safe gun handling.
I also don't hunt on public lands. Sadly I don't bicycle on public roads either, too many
idiots texting on their cell phone while driving their suv.
There are a lot of idiots operating dangerous devices of all types out there.
