Bad324 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Then I have no idea why everyone on this site seems hell bent on arguing with me that despite what I know about myself and my environment that I must need a gun to protect myself or I'm just naive...passes the time at work, makes me feel smarter too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I have said plenty, so much has already been said from everybody....yet here we still are.If you intend your gun to be a deterrent, why not open carry the biggest shiniest handgun you can get your hands on? (if it's concealed how does a "bad guy" know to be afraid of it?)Like putting ADT signs in your front lawn...a deterrent is only effective if it is seen or known.

(if it's concealed how does a "bad guy" know to be afraid of it?)Generally speaking, there's likely going to be someone who's either going to freak out about it, or be a jackass and make some passive-aggressive scene out of the situation. Most people don't want that kind of attention.Need to know is need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Magz, in all seriousness, really why do you keep reading and posting in the firearms section? I'm not bashing, we already agree to disagree. Just curious why you keep doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I like to hear opinions that differ from my own, as well as the reasoning behind those opinions... and see just how far I can push those opinions using hypothetical scenarios.

magley64 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Fair enough I guess.short answer, it's just entertaining same reason I used to frequent the Y!A R&S board, I guess My opinion was far and away the minority opinion, but I liked to see how far I could push the logical arguments. (at least what was logical to me)Guns are similar, their opponents cite all of the bloodshed and heartbreak they are responsible for, and proponents cite all of the advantages and peace of mind... It's really a similar mindset. Edited December 19, 2012 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Entertaining for you I suppose but in many ways it makes you akin to Exarch and Todd43 but if you are fine with that then more power to you. You answered my question that's all I wanted, carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I understand, I have a lot of respect for you. I believe your question was asked honestly, and so I wanted to answer your question as fully and honestly as I can.If some people take my positions/arguments/logical conclusions personally, and can't handle a little opposition, then they probably already have me blocked. I'm okay with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
