Hand guns?

I think blaw has a point. If everyone in an area has a gun, I can see how one may want to keep one just in case.
That being said, I'm not into possessing guns. Maybe it's because I live in Ottawa, Canada (the crime rates here are pretty low), but I feel really safe here, even walking around, alone (at night too).

gun crime is growing in London so I guess it won't be long when we're all living like Baz Luhrmann's romeo and juliet. http://www.romeoandjuliet.com/se…
Ammo is so expensive these days, whatever happened to mano-a-mano fistfights?

don't your football firms take care of that?

Yeah, but the question becomes: is it better for everyone to have guns? or for no one to have them?

in nyc, if you carry an unregistered gun, you can get arrested and get 3yrs sentence. also, it's extremely hard to get a permit here. so i assume most people who has guns here probably owns unregistered.

(Feb 17 07, 08:05)i havent looked at any recent studies, but some indicate conceal and carry laws are much to do about nothing.
even in texas, few take advantange of them...
and they don't seem to have a postive or negative effect on crime...
if i was in a high risk situation, say i ratted out some of my russian mafia contacts...
then, yea i'd carry a gun.
but fuck living daily life with that kinda of irrational fear of the outside world.

as far as guns go, i guess it must depend upon where you live. around here, EVERYONE has guns.

i do own a gun (not a handgun, but a rifle) and it is not at my place. my dad bought it for me years ago for my birthday (21st). i told him he can keep it at his place. i'm not a fan of guns, and find that most people that actually take it a step farther and carry one(only a couple people i even associate with) are paranoid schizos.
that last part was a lie. i don't hang out with anyone that carries a gun...at least i don't think so.
i kind of associate people that carry guns with people that drive hummers...scared and tiny....usually.

I think if you want a weapon to defend yourself, you should at least learn how to defend yourself w/o one. A lot of self defense is not succumbing to fear when a crisis arises. In the forum someone said this :
"Not martial arts, but the type of class the teaches you how to use your keys as a weapon and how to break free of a choke hold."
If you learn something in a self defense seminar, odds are you won't remember it in a panic.
I study jujitsu and judo. It has definitely sharpened my senses, in regards to all types of conflicts.

I think it all depends on where you live. I'm in the St Louis area and if I lived in the city and especially had to walk around regularly I would feel safer with one.
I kind of wish we lived in a time before guns and had to fight with samurai swords instead. Then at least it would take some skill to kill someone.

gun bitches, i'll make a deal with you. you stop driving, i'll stop owning. every year cars and cigarettes each kill way more people than guns. so if anyone is willing to give up their freedoms, i'll gladly do the same in return. my goal for before 9 july 2007 is to be able to fire a semi automatic handgun with such speed and accuracy that you will be dead from the hole in your skull and the hole in your heart before your body even begins to fall from the pull of gravity. that way you'll die immediately and have nothing to complain about stray bullets and any argument of gun control will obviously be laughed at as I will have demonstrated excellent control. all this coming from someone who once had a shotgun put in his mouth as he was robbed at gunpoint. ftr, if i wanted him dead, i could have killed him with his own gun, having mine there wouldn't have changed anything

and no, i've never taken a gun with me on a shoot, then again; shirts, prototypes and promotional items aren't too tough in my neighborhood, a knife tops to handle that shit
