"toter"? Seems like an odd word.
Unarmed people are not shot?

The last time it happened to
ME,
I 'd already been shot at. I imagine that u suggest docile surrender.
Not
THIS American. I will not give myself into the discretion of a violent predator.
I 'll prefer to make my own decisions.

Most robbers are cowards, who flee when threatened with counterviolence.
A predatory emergency is a contest of power.

Criminals cannot be controlled.

(Maybe "thinning the herd" isnt a bad idea as long as collaterals are kept low).
See above.
farmerman wrote:Your arguments FOR carrying are neither satisfying nor compelling DAve.
MY survival is
MY responsibility.
If I am involved in another predatory emergency
it will not likely do much good to tell the predator your opinion
of my arguments, nor to mention the police.

I dont feel I have to take my guns outside
Will what u
FEEL determine whether whether u r safe
from the depredations of man or beast?? U r
immune from surprize ?

Yeah, that's Y Alex the Great did not kill his friend, Clitus, because there was no gun around, right?
Complete gun freedom has been available since always in Vermont;
it has never had the problems that u mention and it is
CONSISTENTLY among
the very
safest of States with
LEAST violent crime each year by FBI statistics.

OK, if a robber or a cougar besets u, challenge him to a debate.
farmerman wrote:or just surrendering the50 bucks ?
Give him
YOUR $50, not mine.
Note, incidentally, that too many victims have been slain
for the fun of it, and to prevent complaints to police,
AFTER
thay implimented your philosophy of surrender.
(I don 't imagine that u r related to
Neville Chamberlain, right? Nah.)
