Letter: Concealed carry is unnecessary for safety

I have a response in regard to the column, "Constitution fully maintains the right to own a handgun," (CT, March 20).

Today's world presents times of tragedy and turmoil, regardless of the right to own or carry a handgun. While the second amendment does in fact permit the right to keep and bear arms, it is wonderfully inappropriate to assume the founding fathers meant for us to buy and keep firearms to keep criminals off the street.

It is true that only law-abiding citizens can buy firearms legally, but it has been proven that these so-called law-abiding citizens can quickly turn into psychopathic killers. It is crazy to think how gun supporters use mass shootings to promote the sale and use of guns when the killers bought the guns legally in the first place. This does not make me feel safe at all.

I have never felt threatened at all in my home or anywhere for that fact. I do not need a gun for safety. I can lock my doors and shut my windows. If there is such a need for guns, then why don't we sell the guns and make it impossible to get the ammunition? Then everyone could be happy. The gun enthusiasts could have their guns and the people who are out to shoot people can't get the ammunition they need to do it.

A freshman, he's not even in the thick of it yet.


I think that satement I highlighted combined with his major that he signs at the bottom are too ironic.

I guess when he is out in the woods and a bear attacks him he'll just lock the door and shut the windows.

In a perfect world, the guy would make sense...maybe.....
However, it is not a perfect world and sometimes the only thing a person(s) understands is that a threat made can be countered by a threat returned.
There is an old saying that a liberal is just a conservative that hasn't been mugged yet.
Its also a good thought that an armed citizenry gives a government that seeks to abuse its citizens, pause.
I hope when this moron faces that situation, he is backed by those who would protect his rights to be stupid.

I was going to mention that as well. The Second Amendment was designed to protect the citizens from tyranny - keep in mind the Revolutionary War and the circumstances under which our Constitution was written.

So it's ironic when people miss the point that a right that is supposed to protect us from government is being taken away...by government.

:crazy:

:killingme Yep, another Al Gore tree hugger.

I don't normally wish harm on a law abiding citizen but I'd love to see this moron get mugged by a guy with a knife one night. Another citizen with a CCW walks up & drops the thug in his tracks with a well placed round. Wonder how Joe the forest geek would feel then. :killingme

While I agree what he's saying is foolish and naieve...

Somehow I don't think it would be legal to kill someone simply because they were mugging you... or if it would be, it would depend on the circumstances of the mugging. Most muggers won't take a weapon with them because to be caught mugging someone with a weapon becomes assault with a deadly weapon and the sentence becomes much higher.

Ahhhh, I see you have little knowledge of gun use. Did I say "kill him" or "blow him away"?? I believe the term I used was "well placed round". :yay: :coffee:

I concur with you on that ma'am.
I am weary of governments telling me what is good and acceptible for me and equally skeptical of "good intentions" by same.
I would think that service to the government gave me the right to be left alone by same.
However...lol....in a perfect world........

Ahhh, I see you are of the misled who believe the criminal element thinks before acting. Let me disabuse you of that. Many of the animals in SOMD who resort to mugging are of the entitlement class who do not believe the 'non-minority' man's laws apply to them. Therefore, your reasoning has no fertile ground in their 'minds.'

When I read the phrase "Drop the thug in his tracks with a well placed round" it implies, to me, that you're discussing shooting said thug in such a place that he drops dead almost instantaniously... not that you're discussing shooting said thug in such a manner that he immediately ceases his actions but simply drops to the ground with a non-mortal wound.

Most? Okay, then how do you determine the ones that don't carry a weapon? Do they carry a sign around their neck saying "I am mugging you, but I'm not carrying a weapon". A well placed round to me is the center of body mass (usually in the area of the heart). What justifies killing someone that is attacking you, is if you are in fear of loosing your life from it.

You're conclusion is understandable, but as an educated gun owner, I know that I cannot blow off someone's head willy nilly unless they are threatening me with possible mortal harm.

In the case of him attacking someone else, I would take out his knees. Attack me personally and I would use Rockfish's definition below. I'd probably go for the head though because if the thug is drugged up, an abdomen shot may not stop him.

If you feel threatened and feel the need to imploy "deadly force" (i.e. a gun)... You had better feel your life is in danger and treat it as such then shoot to kill, not shoot to wound.

To do anything else opens you up to a much greater chance of successful litigation and possible criminal charges.

It's called deadly force for a reason.

This also depends on where you live. In MD you're required to run away first if you can, even in your own home, to avoid confrontation. In VA I'm fairly certain you're not required to anything so absurd.

In TX, as I understand it... If the SOB is in your house it's your option to removed him by any caliber or number of rounds you deem nessesary.

God Bless Texas

Where does it say in Maryland you're required to run away? If you are threatened, then you are not required to retreat. You, in your home, are allowed to meet force with force.

Imagine that! We agree on something!

I'm sure we agree on alot.

I think the only thing where we probably don't see eye to eye on is the special treatment of cops. (My percieved I am sure you'll retort.....)
