I wish you would post that on every Giuliani thread, people don't seem to believe how anti second amendment he is.

Concealed carry doesn't work.

Sorry but you are wrong. It works about 3 million times a year in the US according to the FBI report. You might want to read it. Also, it worked for me, I stopped a mugger with my carry piece. The carrier has the real element of surprise as the criminal has no idea you are armed and if you are being mugged, it normally will not be in a crowded area. Anytime a criminal has you under a gun you are in danger of dying at his whim. If you are carrying you wait your chance, give him the money and then draw to save your life. Store owners do it everyday and they are being covered by the robber also.

Didn't draw when you should have? Your fault and does not prove concealed carry doesn't work, it proves you don't have the guts to use a weapon when you need it.

That's quite likely what he said in reply to his girlfriend when she said to him:

"Whatchoo have to do that for?"

[Ghengis]

I think we are saying the same thing basically.

Since Appalachian Redneck is my first language, I may have misunderstood you. ;-)

OK guys, I got your correction. My mistake, it was the lower east side, not Brooklyn. However, from my days visiting starving artist buddies from college in Alphabet City, you can stray one block over there and find yourself in no-man's land.

Its essentially the same as parts of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Gentrification next to trepidation. I can take care of my own, and even I knew that straying off the avenues over there at night (if you had to be there at all), was not a good idea. This was only two years ago, so I can't imagine all that much has changed.

[Pharmboy]

Yes...I do when I come across them.

[Houmatt]

I saw the tail end of an interview with Sparks this morning on GMA. How sad, and yet how stupid of her to call this pissant's bluff. In a day and age when human life does not seem to mean squat anymore she should have known better. Maybe she would still be alive, who knows.

My prayers for Sparks and Nicole's family.

[Miss Behave]

"Criminals have to decide whether you are handing over your wallet or pulling a gun, and they don't expect a gun or they just would have shot you in the first place."

A point which bears repeating.

[PaRebel]

Gee, I can come up with only 44.

[The Wizard]

Don't carry a gun if you're afraid to use it....the second he was hit he should have capped the bitch.

[cyborg]

Sounds like she was drunk. In that case, what good would her carrying a gun have done?

[from occupied ga]

What's needed are very well armed volunteers to go into these areas in the wee hours and begin capping this vermin. Set 'em up, and knock them down. Oh, and leave a bag of doughnuts for the chalk-outline crew.

New Yorkers don't want this (the majority anyway). They want less freedom, more gun control and deep down they want to be part of Quebec which can make them French and Canadian at the same time.

[xp38]

To say nothing of the thug still being at large and there are potential future victims down the road. It's a civic duty to neutralize a criminal.

[F16Fighter]

" Looking at her site, she was a flaming leftie. I'm convinced that we are going to hear cries and howls for more gun control from Hollyweird now."

Think you're right...The thug was obviously an NRA member. /sarcasm

They always find a way to turn the table.

[Porterville]

Sad. I won't live in the city.

[from occupied ga]

I'm sure that whoever did this was caught on a security camera somewhere and will get what's coming to them.

In NYC that would most likely be 10 years with the opportunity for parole in 5. Meanwhile the young lady will remain dead, and liberal or not all of her hopes and dreams were stripped away by this piece of human garbage.

In Texas or Ga he would end up with the needle. Florida he'd ride old sparky, but NY will coddle him and turn him back on the streets in a few years (if they even bother to find him at all, after all it wasn't a cop he killed, just an ordinary citizen - not like she's part of the precious government)

[TheForceOfOne]

Go enough! :)

[TheForceOfOne]

Rednecks and Hillbillies run in my family too!

[Pharmboy]

Well, maybe someone in her party could have been sober and armed. Again, the choice should be there.

Also, when I carried, I never drank to drunkeness.

[PaRebel]

Then you are truly a fortunate son!! Read "Born Fighting" by James Webb former SecNav.
