Why do I get the feeling the OP didn’t pay much attention to their required training?
The OP doesn’t have a gun problem. She has a fear problem.
As others have said, if you don’t feel safe with your own gun, PLEASE, for the sake of everyone around you, don’t carry it until you get some training. If you’re that inexperienced, you’re much more likely to shoot someone accidentally or have it taken away from you than to protect yourself with it successfully.
I apologize for suggesting that Diamonds02 is a troll. Since she has admitted to committing a serious crime on this message board, the SDMB needs to report her to the police in Chicago. I’m not sure what kind of civil liability you or the message board might have if you don’t report it. That is more of a Bricker question.
Is there any forum rule about confessing to crimes?
Well for one, you should try to avoid using the word “cuntlapper”.
It’s ok as long as you preface it with IANAC*.
- I Am Not A Criminal, natch.
That is not the problem I would have picked her having.
The OP has a history of posting questions about normal human behavior and reactions that are baffling to her. This is merely the latest example of her (claimed) inability to comprehend a completely natural and normal response.
You’ve found the perfect way to stay safe, because if you took out a gun and put it on my kitchen table, you’d never have to worry about coming back to my house again.
6 After 5 occurs its quite common for the legal/judicial system to get involved (though often with delays of approximately 9 months).
“I wouldn’t have a problem with someone with a legal permit to carry. A typical CCW holder is in the upper level of responsible gun handling.”
Come to Indiana. They give them to anyone that applies unless the applicant is a felon or certified as having a mental illness. No training or demonstration of skills needed. They are also good for life. No bloodbath though. Most writeups of shootings in the local paper note that the shooter did not have a CCW or was a felon and thereby ineligible for a CCW.
I rarely carry anymore but if I do, I would not just plop it down on the table at someone else’s house. I wouldn’t even ask unless the person I was visiting was known by me to be a “gun person”. I would either secure it in my vehicle or keep it concealed.
I kind of understand how someone could be a little offended that you think the neighborhood they live in, that thier kids play in, is such a violent ghetto that you can’t walk from the car to the house without being strapped (unless it truly is, I guess). I live in the city and have worked at places where many of my co-workers lived in little country towns. Many times to hear them talk you’d think crossing the city limits meant entering into a ongoing free fire zone!
I have one friend that comes over, usually on a Saturday afternoon. He locks his vehicle up like Fort Knox and looks out the window to check that nobody is messing with his car. My neighborhood is low budget but hardly merits that type of concern. It irks me a tiny little bit.
:rolleyes:
No, it is not.
Your car sitting in your driveway is not a dangerous device, although I think they are amazing. A bottle of Percocet sitting on your kitchen counter is not dangerous. My airplane sitting in its hangar is not dangerous.
What they have is common is that if they are abused, mishandled, or placed under the control of an untrained, unqualified, or irresponsible individual, then they could cause injury or death. No reasonable person condones or allows this.
If you fear guns, or don’t understand guns, by all means leave them alone and don’t let them in your home if you insist. I would abide by your wishes.
It is the height of stupidity, immaturity and ignorance however, to label an inanimate object as dangerous simply because you don’t like them.
As others have addressed the rest of the OP’s silliness, I won’t.
In the interest of fighting ignorance, if you truly don’t understand that a chunk of metal is not dangerous in and of itself, let me know and I’ll do what I can. I have to go now. I am a volunteer that tracksassault weaponsso they don’t get up and hurt anyone…:rolleyes:
I carefully reviewed what the OP said and she doesn’t actually mention having a CCW.
Sing the first verse of “Ventilator Blues” and then let a clip off into the ceiling, that usually wins people over.
What I don’t get is why people get so upset when I point my loaded .45 at their heads and click the trigger. I mean, c’mon morons, I have the fucking safety on. Chill out.
See, this is why I think people should have to take a common sense test before they’re allowed to own a gun. Questions like, “Would you ever use a gun to open a beer can, bust open the lock on an old safe, or open those stupid plastic packages, etc” Or, “True or False: Playing William Tell with your gun is a perfectly acceptable activity.”
I think most of these examples would fall under the more general heading of not operating machinery after consuming alcoholic beverages. Of course if we could enforce a common sense requirement for operating a motor vehicle it would be a huge boon for public transit.
Here’s a WILD thought …
Brace yourself, now … this is truly whack …
Keep the gun concealed!!!
Get a freaking taser and can of mace. You should not be carrying if you are not comfortable with guns at all. :rolleyes:
I’d be pissed because it’s illegal (just like if you dropped your weed on my table). I believe that the entire state of illinois has neither concealed nor open carry - the only legal way to carry a gun outside of private property in illinois at all is in a case, unloaded. (http://www.concealcarry.org/illinois-carry/) Edit to add, AND a valid FOID card is required.
