More armed people would bring more impulsive shootings

In 1979 I carried a gun. I had a permit to do so. It was a 9 mm Browning automatic with 14 rounds in a clip. The reason I had a weapon was because I handled large sums of money, and my boss suggested that it might be a good idea. I carried my 9 mm every time I went out...

Speed loaders could be considered clips right?

If he were telling the truth, I’d expect him to know that it’s called a “magazine”, not a “clip”.

My pop had a little Browning .25 that he had a CCL for...in SoCal, back in the 70's-80's....

When he passed away...I got that gun. And I gave it away to a good friend of his....

Wish I'd of never done that.

Yeah, I regret ever selling any gun. I bought an old Mauser from a pal who needed money to pay taxes. Every time I see him he asks to buy it back...

If more people would read just the link on home age of JPFO about govt killing its citizens. This subject would be a no go.

Then again I am eternal optimist that 1. most people can understand what they read and 2. That same folks can understand when their position is wrong.

Sadly I am proven wrong in both cases more than I care to think or believe.

They do it on purpose

“automatic”

“14 rounds”

etcetera...

makes it sound like they push the trigger and 14 rounds go flying at once...

aka a MACHINE GUN... run run & hide eeek, there ought to be a law for the sake of the children...

I once asked one why he called it a clip and he looked at me like I had 2 heads and answered “what difference does it make WTF I call it?

If you've got a gun, you can call it an elephant if you want. :-)

>>He believes that his unacceptable thoughts can actually be influenced by an inanimate object, therefor NO ONE should have guns.<<

You should have been down here in San Diego a few months ago when one of our community college campuses was -locked down- because someone found..

... wait for it...

..a box of rounds.

I believe they even brought in the crisis counselors for that one. The kids they interviewed on the telly were all very distraught.

Ha!!

I bot a clean Winchester 12g pump shotgun off a co-worker back in the early 80's...He needed the $$$ bad. I would have loaned him the money...but he offered his shotgun to me...for $100. I bot it on the spot.

He asked to buy it back many times.....I always told him nope. Ha!!
