| Agreed. I think the fundamental problem is that we in the Canada, Europe and to a lesser extent the US have substituted government intervention for personal responsibility. So I take it you are all in favour of clearing your own way to work after snowstorm. Don't want no gumermint interfering eh! P... |

| Uh huh, and what exactly is your definition of "trained"? The training I would like to see instituted would include safe usage and carrying of a handgun and the legal issues of carrying/using a gun for self defense. Once again, no one here is saying you can't defend your home. But as has ... |

| Yer not advocating self-defense. Yer advocting the use of deadly force. The two aren't mutually exclusive. I'm not advocating using deadly force in all circumstances but it does have it's place in self defense. If someone comes at you with a deadly weapon deadly force is often the most appropriate ... |

| Society regularly limits the rights and privlages of youth. There's nothing wrong with that. We limit when kids can drink because it is harmful to growing bodies and needs a level of maturity to safely use. We limit when kids can drive because a certain level of maturity is need before operation a ... |

| What a completely asinine policy. What justification is there to deny the use of public streets to an entire class of citizens? Imagine if you read this in an article. The curfew is in response to a “dramatic increase” of crime throughout the county, where police suspect a large number of thefts fro... |

| Interesting http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17922-carrying-a-gun-increases-risk-of-getting-shot-and-killed.html Yes it is interesting. Well we have two studies saying two different things, I'm not sure how to resolve this discrepancy but when I have some time I'll try digging a little deeper ... |

| Perhaps if you had actually read my post you would have known that I have read the entire thread before I started posting. Quite frankly I found a lot the arguments on both sides to be terrible. The posts paranoia were badly argued and merely consisted of the one side accusing the other of being par... |

| Why do I have the feeling you are one of the regulars? Sorry to disappoint but I'm new to both this site and the gun debate. And what the anti-CCW side is saying(and thank you for not calling us anti gun) is that the number of times people have to defend themselves against violent assault that thre... |

| So let me ask you, with the choice of weapons you listed, how effective are any of them going to be when it's NOT a face to face confrontation? How is that handgun going to protect you when I whack you over the head from behind? Now the potential is there for me to steal your gun, at which point, t... |

| Quite frankly, I'm a little disturbed at the mentality of someone that thinks they have the right to blow away someone that is trying to steal their stuff . If you think someone's life is worth LESS than your car, or home electronics or wallet and contents or whatever, regardless of how low that li... |
