Perhaps you should be prepared to respond in kind.
What if an over-protective parent were to pull a gun from a purse or backpack and start firing
Then you better hope another person there is carryinng to stop that person. The other option? Many people die in the next ten minutes while the Police are trying to get there...........

two thoughts...
1. some place ‘bans guns’... .how are they to enforce that so-called ban? its just a publicity farce is all
2. the statistics show that having people carrying firearms reduces crime, assaults, robberies, etc. I’ve always wondered (maybe there is an answer, I just don’t know it yet)........ whether OPEN, visible carry achieves an even lower reduction in crime than concealed carry?
I guess it does (visibility helps remind potential criminals there are people around who can fight back....and the criminals STILL have to worry about concealed carriers ANYWAY whether there are open -carrying folks in the area or not)......but either way, crime goes down and that’s a good thing....
does anyone know the answer to this question?
(of course, in some places the so-called law tries to forbid bearing arms... so people pretty much have to do concealed carry there anyway, just to avoid illegal “law enforcment” hassles)
While it may seem counterintuitive to the gun control freaks, the possibility that here may be several different persons in the room who might be carrying a concealed weapon, also immediately scales back the likelihood that a lone, deranged sociopath is about to stand up and spray the room with bullets.
Talk about zero probability.
Persons with such badly warped moral sense, that they would simply haul a gun and plug somebody else, are greatly constrained if there is an expectation that they themselves may be threatened by a weapon being trained upon them immediately afterwords. Self-preservation is a very powerful force.
“I’m sorry ma’am but the day I came into your gun-free zone I was identifying as a woman which is why I used the ladies room. I was also identifying as an illiterate so I couldn’t read your ‘no guns permitted’ sign. So you see, its your fault”
I carry everywhere. Since I’m not planning on shooting anyone, no one will know.
If I’m ever heaven forbid PUT into a situation where I HAVE to use it, then what the sign on the front door reads won’t matter to me. I’ll gladly accept that punishment after the fact, because I will either be saving myself, or trying to stop something VERY bad from happening.
You may know “shelter in place” by its other name: “cower, scream, die.”
They need gun check-points at swimming pools.
Seems to me that if someone wants to pull a gun on a hospital worker for their kid, they likely won’t care too much if it’s legal to have the gun there in the first place.
Yeah...
I’ll never understand the victim disarmament mentality. I mean, those who honestly think that way.
The rest are just anti-gun tyrant wanna-bes who don’t want anyone opposing their arbitrary rule.
“The situation was defused, but it left board members wondering: What if an over-protective parent were to pull a gun from a purse or backpack and start firing?”
WSondering what Libtards think causes IQ loss. Talk to one of those things and soon the onlookers can’t tell who the real Libtard is.
;-(
Let’s try to improve on the quoted lines, listed above.
“The situation was defused, but it left board members wondering: What if pigs learned how to fly? Not only would the price of bacon go sky high, but think about the danger from a pig scat dropping from 10,000 feet!
Make steel umbrellas mandatory! ! !
They should stockpile cans of food in all the rooms and if someone comes in with a gun throw the cans of food at them.
This is what is being proposed at schools in Alabama.
Sounds like the world would have been a much better place afterwards.
I'm not seeing the logic here.
Is the Board saying that in their opinion, sane gun owners will become insane gun criminals because of having a gun?
Or are they saying that insane gun criminals will see the "no guns" sign and say, "drat," and go away and not explode and shoot anyone because of the sign?
And what about the idea that a sane gun owner could stop an insane gun criminal? Or do they believe that is impossible? If so, will they call the police in an emergency only if the cops promise not to bring guns? Why not?
Asking these questions from named Board members and demanding specific answers is his this crap can be stopped.
Forget the “what if” with a gun. The woman made a real threat to drown a kid... drain the pool and ban all liquids.
