45. I am just not ready for War a home.

I assume you know the difference between military and civilian behavior. Maybe seeing the results of death by humans had changed me. I have never toughed an automatic weapon since carrying one 24/7/365. My Remington pump is the fastest weapon I have now. I am just not as frightened as most people I guess. I will take my chances unarmed everyday.

I would be happy if a law was passed that prohibits a round in the chamber. pwb Dec 2021 #1
As I read the original op I thought about the difference between Responsible Gun abqtommy Dec 2021 #3
If it's irresponsible to carry a round in the chamber, why does law enforcement do so? Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #4
You are always looking for a fight. pwb Dec 2021 #7
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
I don't need your recommendations. Thank you. pwb Dec 2021 #43
Just trying to help! Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #44
I am just not ready for War a home. pwb Dec 2021 #45
Neither am I. War and legitimate self defense are two very different things. Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #46

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

OP has made some good points Ferryboat Dec 2021 #9
A reasonable person is supposed to compromise with this? AndyS Dec 2021 #15
Back again? PTWB Dec 2021 #16
It has only important thing you want. Good bye. AndyS Dec 2021 #17
Have a good one bud. PTWB Dec 2021 #18
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
You have some overblown/incorrect statements here: yagotme Dec 2021 #38
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
LOL! Poor, poor gun humpers. Their rights are always being trampled, and we should offer them Scrivener7 Dec 2021 #28
What does this have to do with your first post in this thread? PTWB Dec 2021 #29
No, dear. You are using the disagreement in this thread to say, "See? They are terrible Scrivener7 Dec 2021 #30
I think you may be confused. PTWB Dec 2021 #34
See what I mean? Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #31
Just being realistic... discntnt_irny_srcsm Dec 2021 #52
Because we all get what we want if we compromise in the ways I suggested. PTWB Dec 2021 #53
