You two are a piece of work, pretty typical of the ignorance seen on here lately.

“AND for someone to say that everyone that carries a weapon “condition one” is dangerous,” It IS more dangerous than not having a round in the chamber. Isn’t that your point? My point is that level of readiness is not always required. “Most people carry semi-autos and if you think the “average joe” can cycle the slide that quickly under stress.” Yes it would take a couple of extra seconds that you may not have. Then again, you may have plenty of time. Depends on the situation and the person. Your generic answer is hogwash and your judgement on who should be able to carry is also hogwash.

No, but what I do find is that when someone starts slinging personal barbs they have lost the argument and cannot back up their position or statements.

My observations come from many years of weapons training and instruction both in the military and with various LEO Depts.

No one was attacking or belittling your position, if you can't debate the points, you might want to try an "easier" forum... facebook maybe.

Yes I agree, thats why I was so disappointed when you started throwing personal attacks.

“No one was attacking or belittling your position”

You might reread your posts. You were certainly doing that. In at least one case behind my back.

BTW I also received military training. Even the military doesn’t always chamber a round.

And LEO training isn’t all that hot. I can out shoot 75% of the cops in my town. I probably put more practice time in than 90%.
