jtnesbitt 0 #9 September 9, 2010 It sounded to be more like a "You better think twice next time..." open kind of statement. This type of a statement *might* cause a criminal to think twice before committing a crime, whereas a statement like "burglary is bad mmmkay" is likely not to do shit."If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree To the others I am pretty sure that is not what the officer meant I mean if you look at what happened, wouldnt most think an 83 year old man would not be able to do it most of the time?"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

You also don't need a CCW permit to have firearms in your house. Theres no law that states you can't go through a self defense course (that I know of) with a prior felony.

Hence why I don't think a cop should be telling people to not fuck with the ones who can fight back.

JohnRich 4 #18 September 9, 2010 QuoteI'm not sure that every single person would arm themselves if the CCW laws were loosened. Just a thought there... That's okay. The beauty of CCW is that the criminals can't tell who is, and who isn't, armed. Therefore they are forced to presume that ANYONE they attack could have the capacity to kill them. And thus they refrain from attacking people in general, even those who don't have guns. The gun-o-phobes should thank the CCW people for this free benefit they provide to them, even though given their druthers, the gun-o-phobes would take the CCW guns away from them.
