What if a mad dog or dogs attacked? Wouldn`t you want to be able to fend them off? Or even robbers or gangsters?

Hey, Luciusclay! Chill will you? I`m sure Jesus condones protecting oneself and others. I don`t think Pete is a vigilante either.

I agree with Fred but I will add just a little more here also. Bear in mind that if a situation arises that you feel compelled to use deadly force, you will still be arrested and stand trial ( I refer to a person, not a rabid dog).Yes, it is better to be tried by 12 then carried by 6, but please bear in mind the repercussions of the action. The down side of this is that the bad guys dont care and will always carry weapons, so in effect, we are leveling the playing field. And yes,,,I have a private carry permit and I DO carry. I just hope I never am forced into a situation where I actually have to use it.

Absolutely....
Although I've been in law enforcement for 19 years, I'm all for citizens carrying firearms for self-defense. I'd rather know that everyone (at least the good guys) are armed, and not just the bad guys - as luciusclay seems to favor.
For those who favor only the military or police carrying firearms.... have you ever heard the phrase "call 911 and die"??? If you're in a situation that's going to sh*t, are you going to stand there and call 911 while some POS claims your life/wife/money/kids. Do you think they're gonna wait for you????
Thee are times when a person calls 911 in my beat - it may take 5-10 minutes, or maybe 30+ minutes for an officer to respond, depending on what else is going on.
Luciusclay seems to take his comments directly from the Brady anti-gun organization...blood running in the streets, return to "wild west vigilantism", etc... That ain't reality.
Grow up and learn what works and what doesn't work. Contrary to popular belief, police organizations do NOT support gun control - only those politically-appointed chiefs do, as they have to toe the line of their employers.
Those people that do NOT want to carry firearms should carry around a sign stating "I DO NOT HAVE ANY GUNS WITH ME'... and see what happens. That goes for luciusclay - if not, then I suggest looking in the mirror if you want to discuss hypocrites.
An armed society is a polite society (thx to Robert Heinlein).

so you want to bring the old west back,gunfights on the main street
if a guy cuts you off in traffic you want to be able to shoot at him.
everybody carrying guns will bring nothing but more gun violence.
as for pete p i think the police need to be informed that you are carrying a concealed weapon
pete is nothing more then a vigilante
this question is completely insane
how many times have you been attacked by a dog
if the dog is viscious it is because the owner trained the animal that way and the owner of the dog is then the criminal
you must live near michael vicks house
what if you and pete have had a few drinks in a bar and you pick a fight with him(pete) does that give him the right to pull out his concealed gun and kill you
GOD I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN CALL YOURSELF CONSEVATIVE CHRISTIAN AND THEN WANT TO CARRY WEAPONS THAT ONLY HAVE ONE USE WHICH IS TO KILL.
THOU SHALT NOT KILL ONE OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
JESUS WOULD NEVER CARRY A GUN HE WAS VERY MUCH A LIBERAL TEACHER AND WOULD NEVER CONDONE WHAT YOU ARE SUGGESTING,
i just don't understand the conservative right you have nothing but hatred in your hearts,
what a bunch of hypocrites

i wanna be a cop when i'm older see i will in the future
p.s. i think its a good idea for ppl to cary a gun cops can take like 5 minutes to come depending were they are and if mad dogs are attacking u ur screwed... but i also think that ppl should instead carry pepper spray and tazers non-lethal is the best way in my opion =)

I think everyone should be carrying at all times. No one would start stuff. Who would try and rob a bank when all the customers and tellers are packing. No more college shooting for sure. 50(?) to 1 odds against the shooter.

No, because you'll be a threat to someone else.

Yes, law abiding citizens should always be able to defend themselves.
