I'm not afraid. The probability of being shot by a permitted or otherwise legal carrier is very low. aikoaiko Aug 2016 #61
And zero probability of being shot if they weren't carrying any guns, yeah? nt procon Aug 2016 #75
Yep same for car crashes. If no one drove cars, not one would be hurt in car crashes. aikoaiko Aug 2016 #76

Not until an actual contested ruling is accepted for consideration by scotus.... pipoman Aug 2016 #174
First, how do you propose that an anti-gunner take to court, that which is legal? beevul Aug 2016 #164
similar standards do apply to those who carry a lethal weapon. aikoaiko Aug 2016 #127
I can't verify your claims. procon Aug 2016 #137
As I said, not identical,but similar standards. I don't think any state requires liability insurance aikoaiko Aug 2016 #139
True. procon Aug 2016 #144
I suppose caring about others depends on your sense of kindness, benevolence, and ethics. aikoaiko Aug 2016 #146
