If you want to take that risk, you can be my guest. Also, most people who pull a gun on you don't really mean you much harm, so all putting more guns in people's hands is going to do is get more people shot. People will think they can get a shot off when someone asks for their wallets.

Also, you're not always allowed to carry a gun. As I remember, Steve McNair was charged with something for having a gun in his car when he was intoxicated at one point.

You keep saying "putting more guns in peoples hands". The people who want guns, already have them. There are no proposed laws to give guns to anyone, there are only talks of getting rid of guns.

I'm saying that skinsfan_nn saying that everyone should have guns is a stupid idea. His point was that everyone should have guns, my point is that not everyone should have/carry guns.

Btw, I'm actually a fan of guns, I don't own one, but I have considered purchasing one for sometime. However, even if I were purchase one, it won't be leaving my home. It will be for protecting my home and that's it. I won't be carrying it around in case I end up outnumbered on the street one day...

OH, OK, gotcha.

I personally think that you should protect yourself with one. But that's my opinion.
