Would You Step In .....

I highly doubt the bad guys get there ar's at the local gun shop.

Whether the guns are banned or not, they will still get what they want.

By banning any type of firearm, you are only hurting the law abiding citizen. ~wink~

Not really.

Most law abiding citizens can't be trusted with such a weapon. What if the law abiding citizen has their house broken into and the assault rifle taken? ( You're not a law abiding citizen as far as I know and you shouldn't own any type of firearm if you consider murder to be a good choice )

What the hell...you just disrepected yourself, and everyone else, lol, why?

I don't know when the last time this has happened, but if it did, I wouldn't neccessarily put the blame on the gun owner.
Although the gun owner should make sure it doesn't happen in the first place.

All my firearms I own, I am certified in each one, and hold hand gun, semi auto, and auto rifle certificates.

And have hundreds of hours in with each at the range.

You shouldn't just randmomly go out and purchase a .50 barret bmg.

If you are, do it the right way, certifify yourself in the fire arm type, get some range hours in, etc...

I consider "killing" to be a good choice if your other options included the danger of putting your life at risk. ~rolleyes~

Fire arms aren't for people who question as much as yourself, your better off with staying indoors on your pc.

Why such the negativity bro... ~rolleyes~

Take a chill pill

You're certified in an auto rifle but your idea of protecting yourself is shooting someone then walking away?

Okay buddy.

Walking away from someone who just tried to take my life... ~rolleyes~
Do you think that that is the proper thing to do? That's a serious question.

Gun training 101, if you shoot someone in self defense always phone the authorities and wait for them and explain your story.

You act like because someone tried to take your life you have the right to leave their body there.
You know what that makes you? A murderer, and no judge will believe self defense. You'll go to jail for 25 to life.
 
So the bad guy is running at me in the middle of the night shouting death threats at me, I have just seconds to react, my gun slips alittle, the bad guy is now trying to stab me with a 7 in blade, I finally get a grip of my gun and shoot him in the back.
He drops.

So now...

Lets say I called the police.
They arrive.
Do their investigation/violation crap and find me guilty for
"shooting an unarmed? indiviual in the back, while they were in retreat"
...since when he dropped, the nerves in his arm caused him to hurl the blade over a short wall out of sight.
And also since I had no wounds of a blade I said the dude had, the jury put the blame on me...

If you've ever been on jury duty, you'll know they aren't the brightest of folk. ~rolleyes~



So, I'm screwed for defending my life & calling the cops on someone who just tried to end my life, which now, I'm in prison for life.

Well done... ~rolleyes~

Actually, not necessarily.
My entire family is full of LEO's.. My uncle is an Immigration agent, my other uncle is an FBI agent, my uncle on the other side of the family is a police chief, cousin is a detective.. list goes on, and I know a bit about crime and such to help you with this.

First of all the chance of someone running after you and trying to kill you with a knife is the same chance that I'm going to get married to Laura Bush tomorrow..
Now, we'll get onto the hypothetical. If it were that type of situation, and you did struggle to shoot the man in the back, it would be your word vs. the word of a dead guy... plus forensics would be able to tell that you were running and they'd recover the mans knife in the vicinity.. maybe you'd be arrested and spend a few nights in custody ( likely at a precinct holding cell ) and, if it was the case the man didn't have a knife, you should have probably hit him over the head with the pistol or fired a shot into his leg, but again police would determine you acted in self defense.

Now, we'll go into the other scenario.
Guy has a knife chasing you, you draw your weapon fire one into his back - then you take off out of the area. Three bad things you're doing:
1) Not answering to the police that it was self defense
2) Leaving a man dead on the side of the road
3) Setting yourself up to be charged with murder

You leave a body on the side of the road with a bullet in it's back, authorities will assume he was murdered and launch an investigation. You would be found within a week or two, trust me, and at that point your claims of self defense would be laughed out of the courtroom and you rot in jail for 20+ years.
 
I highly doubt the bad guys get there ar's at the local gun shop.
Believe it or not, they do. I heard that in all the recent mass shootings, the shooter bought their gun legaly.

Yeah the gangs are going to get their guns. But why would regular dudes want an automatic assult gun to protect themselves?

Someone who is going to buy a gun like that is probably the type who would put 15 rounds in a robber armed with a knife.
 
I could disarm most men with a knife, if it were daytime. ~rolleyes~

We buy guns like that, but we're sports shooters, our defense guns are our carry's and my main carry only holds 7+1 rounds. ~wink~

You chose to ignore my post I guess..
 
Leaving a guy in the streets is alot worse then calling the cops. Since you bought your weapon legally they can easily track the bullets to your gun and to them its not different then murder. If you are to call the cop after shooting an attacker, use your girlfriend as an alibi you will be basically be put off the hook. The jury would either give you involuntary manslaughter or let you off for self defense and I was hearing stories that most cops would sometimes let you off the hook.
 
I would, i may be only 5"4 and tiny, but i can pack a punch as well.😉

No really..i wouldnt be able to stand by and watch...even if it meant getting hurt id try and stop the assault.

Yeah but it's not always an assault.. if it's two guys just duking it out over something it's none of your business to step in.

It depends... If i think i could stop it i would but if someone is being beaten up by 4 big guys with baseball bats i would stay out as i wouldn't be able to stop it.
same here 😉
I'd call the cops for those baseball bat guys...or *gets out gun* MUAHAHAHAHA.
 
To be honest, it all depends on the fight. Im 14, but I can stop a fight. If its some 30 yr old guys fighting, id call 911. If its some teens fighting, i'd step in. Of course, im a Boy Scout, so I'm like always armed. =)

With what? A slingshot? 😀
 
im not sure id step in as its just not safe to do that these days but i would go to the nearest phone and report it, no matter what the sex xxx
 
I would help them, but not attack the attacker(s) myself, in fear that I could get beaten up myself. Instead, I would contact the right authorities and try to verbally sort it out and negotiate. Should it be someone that I'm quite close to, I might just use physical force just to help them.
