Gun Threads - Merged

[townpete]

If you were a bad guy, would you even consider shooting up the place, knowing EVERYONE else was packing?

Pretty muçh all mass shootings are carried out at what is known as "Soft Targets" and have yet to see one take place at, let's say, A POLICE STATION!

 
Common sense aint it?
 
As reflected in reality not hysterical liberal fantasyland:
 
Two armed robbers walked into a store in Chicago, what happened next will have the gun grabbers fuming...
 
T-Mobile store employee with concealed carry license shoots 2 armed robbery suspects
 
He says two men entered the store and acted like they were shopping for phones for a few minutes, then pulled out guns.

One employee ran to the back to call for help while the other pulled out his own gun and fired at the two suspects. He hit one of them in the groin and the arm, and the other in the abdomen and the arm.

Dumbest set of things said for yet another day

Do you do that on purpose?

The last box was really #3, but I'm thinkin' that'll do the job too

The trusty Colt six is really just for nuisance pests, but I don't wanna' be diggin' those out of myself either, so I ring the bell before I walk in on an armed sleeping woman.

How many folks shoot family members every year again?

Why is that in most armed robbery's, when the business owner pulls a weapon the robbers head for the door?

So which is it? You call or ring the door bell? Or do you ring the door bell, call, then do the secret knock, jump around three times, howl like a Wonder Mutt, and say honey daddy is home?! I'm really trying to understand which lie to believe.

If I were a bad guy, I'd have a huge advantage.  Their backs are to me.   They are more concerned about what toppings to put on their hot dogs.  They are "soft targets".   I take out the guy with the sidearm first, the guy in the middle second, and the guy with the AK on his back third.   And yes...there was a guy who was shooting at cops at a Dallas police substation in June of last year.

If someone pulled a gun on you would you just stand there?

Thanks Kev for proving my point!
 
lol

Which was what? That most all people-bad guys included- have a will to live? That they generally act reflexively when that is threatened?

Most times when reading about a black man with a gun in the south, we usually hear the words "if he had only done what the officer said".   Especially among the "everybody has a right to own a gun" crowd.

Most "Law Abiding American Citizens" whether white, black, green or yellow, would NOT pull their weapon around an officer of the law.
So what's your point?

Self-defense shooter: 'I just started fighting back'

What about the dude BEHIND YOU, who's packing and walked in for a buger, 15 seconds after you?

I've given up trying to figure out how the tough guys so easily feel threatened by common courtesy and civil behaviour and the like

Must be massively insecure

There is no have to

Waiting for the next ignorant comment

Won't be long

Why do you care?  At your house the lights are on but nobody's home.
