ParrotheadGator and RednekkPH . . I respect both of your guys' opinions. We disagree and thats OK, I just would have a problem shooting someone. What i think we can agree on though, is that you both have your right do own guns, and I have my right not to, and its your own personal choice whether to ...

When you buy a gun for self protection, you are distrusting the paid men and women who's job it is to protect us. I most certainly am not. I'm just being realistic, knowing that the closest police officer to my home is stationed 30 miles away (which equates to about 45 minutes, even with going ligh...

you have a point, but is it realistic that in your community someone is going to try to murder you? You have your right to own a gun, but once again as ive said many many many times before, i dont find it neccesary to own a gun in any community. We have the occasional murder around here. 20 or so i...

bad situation = any situation that involves a criminal :lol: For example, last weekend, a cashier got smacked around and robbed at a convenience story a couple minutes from my apartment. A few weeks ago, a girl was raped in the parking lot of her apartment complex just a couple miles from my apartm...

Do you accuse people who wear seatbelts of being paranoid? How about people with homeowners insurance - are they crazy? The chances of being involved in a serious automobile accident or of having your house burn down are statsitically insignificant, but those measures are an extra safeguard just in...

I personally believe that the need for a gun in rural areas falls under that category, just my opinion. You are suspicious of murderers and robbers and rapists (which is IMO irrational as the data shows, compared to larger cities) and you distrust the police . Therefore, it fits perfectly under tha...

Aren't you suspicious of murders, robbers, and rapists? They seem like the types of people deserving of suspicion to me. And even though such crimes occur less often in rural areas, they still do occur - and even 1 instance per 100,000 people is too much. Also, has it ever crossed you mind that my ...

Thats true. But any yahoo can own a gun, illegaly . . . and thats a bit of a problem (and where most gun crimes generally fall)

How many of those who own guns here live in more rural areas or "outer" suburbs? I live in an area like that and have never once since ive lived here heard of any situation where anyone needed a gun to protect themselves (to my knowledge, and I live in a small community so i know most peo...

You have made the choice to live in fear....that is for you deal with. You can overcome that fear with knowledge. If you are ever in the area and want to go shooting and learn a little about firearms let me know. See Sam, i could say the same thing to you. I could say that you live in fear of rapis...

just out of curiosity, i am intersted in seeing how many here trust their Police Dept's to protect them, or on the other side depend on their own personal firearm for their saftey

I trust my local PD

Sam, I really respect you and I think you're really quite the intelligent guy and have a lot of great knowledge, but please don't tell me you need one of these: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m203.jpg to protect your family. I believe every american has the RIGHT to protect themselves, but...

(each dash is a response to each of your paragraphs) -My age and state are none of your business -I believe that all ameicans have the right to bear arms, but the responsibility isn't a requirement for all americans. It is your own personal choice as an american to bear arms and use them, or not to ...

"Reno 911" was hilarious last night. Maybe the funniest of the seaon....so far? i think it deffinitley has potential to be the funniest :D :wink: When that cat fell into the air conditioner / blender or whatever that thing was, i was laughing for about 15 minutes straight! :lol: :lol: :lol:

its about the only thing i watch these days. Any other fans of Comedy Central??? I'm loving the new season of Reno 911! and also this new show "Stella" is absolutley hillarious!! after watching it on TV just one time i didn't think it was that funny, but i recorded it and after watching it...
