(38,682 posts)I don't even think most cops are qualified to carry guns.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, I live in a city where the penalty for open carry is frequently instant death.
It's against the law too, but your average teenage gangster isn't paying attention to the law.
Not that it makes any difference. The average open carry fool isn't much different than the teenage gangster fool.
Both are thinking there's someone out to get them that ought to be shot.
The teenage gangster might be right, but it's very unlikely shit-for-brains college student is going to get into that kind of trouble.
We had a next door neighbor whose son was shot and killed in a drug deal gone bad. I imagine his son was armed too, for "self defense," but it's always the worst psychopaths who shoot first because they don't give a shit. Our neighbor was never the same after that and drank himself to death.
I don't have any heroic gun stories. I don't go gleaning the news for heroic gun stories.
In my personal experience, once the guns come out everything is FUBAR.
I don't need that kind of fucking trouble.
Guns are stupid.
