Yep....criminals have more rights than Joe Average these days. The "bleedin' hearts" are to blame. "That man is innocent until proven guilty...don't you dare violate his human rights"...all well and good for the grub...but what about the victim!!!

I would carry if I was allowed...nothing more sure. I think that the Civil Libertarians forget that the Police aren't there to protect the innocent, but to capture the guilty....but the mongrels aren't guilty until AFTER they have committed their crime and the innocent have suffered at their hands!!!

Correction..

... the mongrels aren't guilty until the jury convict them, even after committed their crime even if they did it in front of witnesses .....

Then the bleeding hearts will step in and say that it is because of
their unhappy childhood,
being abused when they were growing up,
being influenced by crazy politicians,
see too much rambo movies
bad neighborhood ... etc etc etc
and the latest popular excuse apparently is STILLNOX consumption.

Maybe I ought to get some prescriptions too ...

Yes mate....but you forgot the one that says, "they weren't given a Teddy Bear as a child".

I'm totally with you on this one mate.

Cheers, Vince

Teddy-bear? Meet my little "teddy-bear"....

Thats a real beauty of a ''teddy''.

Yup...And it gives me great solace when sleeping...

Nice Colt.

Just the way I like 'em.

This thread has pretty much been pointed toward concealed carry for protection against crime. However I carry when out walking because of an additional concern, dangerous animals.

One time I was charged by an aggressive Saint Bernard and the only thing that saved me from attack was the action of my own dog that cut him off and distracted him. At the time I had figured that I didn't "need" to carry a gun.

A rabid raccoon came into my yard a few years ago, despite the 7 dogs out there. They made short work of him and thankfully all had their shots but what if he'd have been standing in the car port when I walked out the kitchen door?

Let’s not forget the copperheads and one rattlesnake that I’ve almost stepped on before seeing.

The point I wanted to make is, don’t get so focused on one threat that you ignore others. I don’t just keep a gun handy because of concerns about crime.

Yup...I open carry on my property. We have bear, cougar, coyote, fox, raccoon, armadillo, opossum (one of God's ugliest critters), skunk (possibly rabid), etc, etc (I own horses). When I go to populated areas I change holsters and conceal carry to defend myself and family from the two legged vermin...

As soon as I figure out how to get photos off my camera phone I'll post my 3 best friends... the Taurus brothers and thier Austian cousin Glock.

I carry all of the time KW.
Just because our President is an idiot liberal KW, don't start thinking that the rest of us are like him.

Just remember KW, if it wasn't for us "stupid" Americans, you finlanders would be speaking German, and marching the goose step.

We ain't a dumb as you guys look KW.

Errr - perhaps that wasn't the best thing to say, as it was US & UK aid to Russia that cost the Finns more than a tenth of their country.
The Germans actually aided Finland against Soviet aggression, whilst the UK declared war on them.
Some parts of WWII are NOT as clear cut as the rest.

Here's a pretty balanced look at the whys & wherefores of what happened: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...uation_War

You are correct on that Mike.

I will put it this way KW---Obama might apologize all over the world for us, but I tend to put up the big middle finger to the same world that our wonderful President is kissing up to.

How is that one Mike???

Eric

What’s this ??? A hit and run !!!

K.W., I thinks it’s time for you to return to what you’ve started.
Stirring the pot and running away don’t cut it around here.
Us stupid and naïve common folk will give you a chance to redeem yourself now that you understand it’s not all cut and dry the way you thought it was.

Well currently I can't carry since I'm not in the states. State side I don't carry because I teach and having a firearm in the parking lot is reason to call in SWAT, so is a spent .22 that came off the teachers tire. I do carry a can of bear strength pepper spry with black dye in it. Don't care what the school thinks. I hate dogs, ones I don't know, and there are too many in my area for me not to carry them. Not to mention the gang bangers I tick off because of bad grades.
