I think of shooting at targets or hunting animals for food. You and all your self defense talk makes me feel you think more of humans as targets. Self defense firearms training and firearms Safety instructors are two different things. I won't recommend you take a safety course. As you feel leaving the chamber empty is not a good idea. The O P was about new ideas and that was mine. You don't agree so here we are. I have owned weapons for 60 years and never once though of people as targets.

I disagree with most on this forum on this particular issue, and am not hesitant to explain why. Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #8

Yeah see, you are even against safety. pwb Dec 2021 #10

How is emphasizing the need for the 4 rules of gun safety against safety? Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #11

I would walk out if someone suggested a round in the chamber. pwb Dec 2021 #12

Given that, there would be no point in you attending such a class, given that they almost Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #13

Yeah I don't need any lessons. pwb Dec 2021 #14

The use of weapons in combat and the use of firearms in legal self defense have some overlap, but Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #19

So why do you think that makes you special? oneshooter Dec 2021 #33

Who said I was special? You did. pwb Dec 2021 #39

Never said that you were "special". oneshooter Dec 2021 #40

And you think you are? pwb Dec 2021 #41

Never said or claimed that I was. oneshooter Dec 2021 #47

I actually recommended that you *not* take firearms self defense lessons, if you'll recall. Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #42

Here's a good debate about that topic. PTWB Dec 2021 #25

There's a legitimate debate to be had, but labeling anyone "irresponsible" and "unsafe" because they Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #26

Certainly absurd. PTWB Dec 2021 #51

Would you please answer the question. oneshooter Dec 2021 #32

A thoughtful, reasonable proposal. On this forum, it will go nowhere. Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #2

I actually have come up with what I (humbly) think would be a reasonable compromise. Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #21

I don't think anyone could argue against that. PTWB Dec 2021 #23

Thank you, but I'm confident that they can and will. The moment "assault weapons" are mentioned, Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #27

Gunowners will not agree with ANY of this. EOM oneshooter Dec 2021 #35

On the whole I agree. It's simply a thought experiment. Both sides are far too entrenched for any Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #37

This is why any compromise legislation has an uphill fight. Hangingon Dec 2021 #50

No gun control advocate would disagree with any of these. Gun humpers have already Scrivener7 Dec 2021 #20

Gun control advocates certainly do disagree with the compromises listed at the end of the OP. Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #22

Nonsense. PTWB Dec 2021 #24
