[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1976331, member: 10619"] Thankfully there is statistical data to back up this claim, while there isn't for the opposing argument. 1. Crime can happen any time, any where. Yes, even Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy Fortress isn't impenetrable to attacks. My wife, the anti-gunner, has the same attitude as you. She mocks me when I arm myself (concealed, before your nipples explode) to run to the gas station or to Crest to do our weekly shopping. "Yeah, wouldn't want that soccer mom to go on a murderous rampage on the chip aisle!" As if there's some magical radius of guaranteed safety centered from my home. It's nothing more than illogical thinking. 2. There's a difference between cops and armed citizens. Cops intentionally put themselves in dangerous situations that heavily escalate the risk of being harmed, including by their own firearms. Me, however, I'm just trying to mind my own business and buy my damn groceries in peace. Statistics also prove that this just doesn't happen. While it's definitely possible, the odds appear to be extremely minimal. 3. Again with your immature trolling. Just like all of us tell the gun grabbers -- If you don't like guns, don't buy them. In your case, if you don't like OC, then don't OC. It's legal now, we have the right to do so. It passed for a reason and it works well in many other states. I agree that OC isn't for everybody, but neither is CC, but I leave that right of choice to the individual. They're within the law, it's their decision and their responsibility, and you have no authority to dictate who carries, how they carry, and where. Edited to add to 2. [/QUOTE]
