That is a great late night city story. There's nothing like hitting up the slums packing with a head for anything. Sounds kind of weird.. was this 'car' labeled as security.. if so, did you look suspicious? Don't wear jewels into the thieves den if you know what I mean. This guy could have meant business. It's sad you have to own a gun to ensure your security, but I myself do the same.

If you own a gun, you better be damn well ready to use it. Pray I will never have to make that choice, but when I do I'll be ready, and either he'll be fallen or we'll both be deadly.

Die in this life, yes. So I'll never put my weapons down, and when the time comes you pull trigger, it'll be your frown!

it happens. rather regularly really.

I've seen some statistics that made me think twice about
keeping a gun in the home...and they didn't come from
granniesagainstgunlovers.com or anything either.




Hm...I might be interested in seeing some of these statistics (as long as they are from an unbiased source...I don't want to see stuff from the NRA nor from some rabid anti-gun organization). I have never had a bad occurrence with my gun. The fun and safe feeling I have received from my "gat" (yo yo) have made it a worthwhile purchase.




No pun intended here I just want to make a good point. You can carry a gun around all day long and feel like you're the man. When it comes down to somebody pulling a gun on you just trying to take your wallet what exactly are you going to do. If you pull your gun you better be prepared to use it because believe me they will.

If my life or another innocent's life was in danger, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to kill the perpetrator.

I think I must be a sociopath or something because I don't think I would feel guilty at all about it. Scumbags who steal and victimize other people deserve any shit they get.

Of course they do. Everyone has the option of being a coward.

I have a question for you Randal.

Lets say your walking down that same road one evening, and you see a young punk trying to take the purse of a woman?

What are you going to do?

Will you

A) shoot to kill
B) wave your gun in the air to try to scare the attacker away?


If you choose option A, and end up killing this young punk.....guess what....
You will be going to jail, for murder.



If you choose option B, and he has a gun....guess what......
Your the dead guy.



IMO....carrying a gun around may make you feel bigger and safer, but I would bet, that in the long run, it's going to cause you more problems that it actually solves.


A better, safer way to protect yourself is to buy a tazer or a can of pepper spray.

Both of these are non-lethal means of protection, that will get someone's attention.(have you ever been hit with either a tazer or pepper spray?...it aint fun) They will keep any attacker away, and keep you out of any potential legal trouble later.


Carrying a loaded gun around is not safe.

There are only three kinds of people that carry guns around with them. 1. Cops 2. Homocidal Lunatics and  3. Those who are living in fear of the first two . :smirk:

Egg...I can easily see Randal's situation going very bad.

The guy that stopped him was not a cop or a security guard....just a wanna be. If this wanna be had a gun, and he thought that Randal was a "young punk", and pulls his gun out to confront Randal....Randal thinks he is going to be robbed and he pulls his gun out.... :shake:


I mean Randal already said he "Almost had to pull my gun on someone..."

Egg, how long do you think it will be before Randal actually does pull his gun on some innocent guy just trying to protect his hood?

Its only a matter of time beofre his fear gets the better of him and he either ends up killing someone (probably an innocent person) or getting killed himself. The only reason that any sane person would carry a gun is out of FEAR. I feel sorry for him, i really do, he is obviously trapped in a very fearful state of mind.  :heart:

I used to carry a handgun in my car, but I stopped when I started to consider the scenarios you just mentioned.
