Q:
only a fruitcake would carry... ...unless you want to be shot, you are asking for it. take up boxing or get mom to hold you a little more.
Yep, attempting to box someone that is about to swing a baseball bat at your head is going to work real well.
The reality is that places that allow concealed carry have lower crime rates. Although you may be at a slightly higher risk of having an attacker respond with equal force, without being armed you are totally at the attacker's mercy. A lot more unarmed people are murdered by attackers than are people that are armed.
But the really strange part is other people's reactions when they find out you own a gun - as if you must be some kind of criminal. The media has done a real good job of painting gun owners/users as terrible people when the reality is that legitimate gun owners almost never commit any type of crime with a gun.

"Help me Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise use your witchcraft to get the fire off of me!”

my dad had a bumper sticker that said.
protected by smith and wesson...makers of fine hand guns!
and another said "i believe in firm gun guntrol... so i hold mine with BOTH hands"
HE meant it and so do I!!! in fact i just felt my keltec 32(loaded with glaziers) poke me in the leg...oh what a feeling.
i love that i have the right to own and "Carry concealed pistol" as described by South Dakota law!!
make owning guns a crime and ALL of the criminals will have them and none of the honest people will be able to protect themselves...well i guess except me and a few other members here who will "illegally" own them!
anti gun activist shoul all be spanked with therePETA loving non leather purses...the men, oops i mean males as well.

Then again, you could always carry a knife...
As Crocodile Dundee says, "That's not a knife...THIS is a KNIFE!"
A:
Not only that, but if you look at the velocity graphs, it would probably just leave a little welt unless hit from point-blank range.
The muzzle energy is only 0.8 ft-lbs, only slightly less than the torque we get from the 2ZZ. A perfect companion for an Elise.
Larry, where the heck are you going to mount that in your car?
A:
Right under the passenger seat.
It's nice and thin.
Unlike a Glock 30 with night sights.
No bullets or shells to trace.
And it's quiet.
You get the picture.
A:
I can tell you this, If I am pulled over here in Florida, I will provide my license, registration and my Concealed weapons permit with my hands in plain sight!
I remember a t-shirt I saw when I was a kid that read " If guns are outlawed, Only Outlaws will have guns"

That reminds me. I've been a firearm instructor for a while. A woman hired me and produced a tiny .22 revolver from her sunglasses case. I thought, "That wouldn't do much to a target..."
I asked her why she carried the gun.
She said her boyfriends used to beat her up.
She brought the target (at the indoor range) closer and closer until it was only about 1 foot or so away from her.
She fired one .22 round at the man-shaped target.
It made a hole nearly a foot wide (looked like a shotgun blast).
She looked at me and said, "They don't beat me up anymore...now that I carry this."
Up until that moment I had no idea a tiny .22 could do that much damage.
There is a saying: it doesn't matter what kind of gun you carry, as long as you have one when you need one.
I know...so much for my knife theory.
A:
mines like american express...NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.

Someone needs to photoshop machine guns through the headlights, ala spyhunter.

I have a nice trusty Ka-bar on hand that I typically travel with. There are some upsides and downsides to knives for defense... pros: effective, quiet, and won't accidentally discharge into your ass when you sit down. Cons: other guy may have a gun, and you need to be faster/stronger/more skilled than the other guy if you need to use a knife.
All things considered, I'd typically rather carry a pistol, but the big knife is good for home defense/travel.

Woah. Is your name Tony Montana?

nice mod but in cali, real people can't get CCW permits. When I go to the range my kimber goes in the boot and my M1 garand lays unarmed in a case on the passenger seat. Not much protection, but if I'm in danger, my car is the weapon. Remember the thread where the street punks are boxing people in the street and vandalizing there cars. Where were the cops then.
A:
Could someone photoshop the turret from this Gepard to an Elise/Exige pic?
sweet.
A:
Wow, I feel sorry for all of you who live in areas where you feel threatened enough to need a gun. Thankfully, I don't.

+1. People have been tricked into foolishly believing they shouldn't try and defend themselves. I saw a special where criminals were asked what they feared most while perpetrating a crime. The one response they all gave was that the victim would be carrying a gun.
A:
Okay moderators--then how about adding a poll to the thread:
I own a handgun and have a CCW permit.
I own a handgun but don't have a CCW permit.
I don't own a handgun, but have been thinking about getting one.
I don't own a handgun, and have no plans to acquire one.
I fall into the first category, yet carry only when I feel it's necessary.
The reality is that places that allow concealed carry have lower crime rates. Although you may be at a slightly higher risk of having an attacker respond with equal force, without being armed you are totally at the attacker's mercy.

That is absolutely correct.
A:
My permit just expired. Right when I started thinking about taking the refresher course required to renew it I started working unusually long hours and I never got around to it. I plan to take the course and get a new permit when things slow down a bit. I used to carry whenever practical.

A friend of mine used to work at a gun shop. Some redneck came in with his girl friend to buy her a gun. My friend recommended a .22. The redneck said."A .22? You cain't kill $h-t with no .22!" My friend replied,"Tell that to Bobby Kennedy"
