(10,176 posts)also, I haven't seen anyone promote shooting people that look like they might be thugs. I don't think anyone in this forum supports shooting people because of how they look or because they might be thugs. people in here are talking about defending themselves when a thug approaches and tries to assault them. if you want to make an argument, at least don't make shit up. there are definitely valid arguments against concealed weapons...you're not making them.
I am no gun fancier. I own a shotgun for defending my home from invaders and that is all. I don't carry a gun in public and I don't plan to. I also recognize that a concealed weapon won't do you any good if you are knocked unconscious by a surprise attack by one of these "knockout game" thugs. that said, if you are a victim of one of these attacks and you are not knocked unconscious and you have the chance to defend yourself from a continued attack by using deadly force, by all means fill these dirtbags full of lead. they have no right to walk free in a civilized society....they are human garbage. I don't like violence, but I will defend myself from it and I support those that wish to do the same.
