Weapon carriers; a question

alex.s · July 26th, 2011, 08:32 PM

How many times have you used your concealed or open-carry weapon? as in, someone is robbing you so you pull out your gun? or, someone else is getting attacked or robbed so you come help them gun drawn... or even, some crazy animal is trying to attack you so you put one between its eyes?

i live in the land of restrictions in terms of guns so it makes me wonder if guns are actually used elsewhere... i mean, i've seen one or two videos of people being attacked and some kind citizen comes to their aid who is carrying... but those are just videos so it makes me wonder how common it is to actually use them?

You need to visit usacarry.com and defensivecarry.com . The reason you don't hear about attacks where weapons are used is the fact that they don't make the news. The story of a successful defense using concealed carry has strong political implications, especially nowadays.

Those forums have plenty of CC defense stories. I myself have never used my sidearm as a private citizen. There are a number of reasons, one theory being that you unknowingly present yourself as a harder target. There is some good reading out there on the subject if you decide to dig a bit.

Its easier to get a CCW in california if you don't live in the bay area. I know the chief of police for orange county lets any citizen apply for a CCW.

Don't even think about open carrying a weapon cuz thats just stupid (unless your a cop) There was an open carry rally near where I live and one guy got jumped by 3 other guys and they stole his legally carried unloaded gun. Thank god california gave us that life saving right

I'd watch the First 48 and then you'll see how many people will pull a gun just for even half an O of weed... it's pathetic.

It's not about how many times or even if you will use it. Most people will wish to never have to use it. It's all about outing your life in your own hands and being prepared than sorry and wish you had it. Just my 1.5 cents
