      I think it’s a good argument. Is it not the truth that Europeans in power get on the spot protection while those that don’t have any power are forced to be sitting ducks from random acts of violence? So much for equality…

          Is it? It’s how it was explained to me in Texas and it opened my mind up greatly. I think if more people took gun classes they would understand the world differently

            understand the world differently

            That’s an interesting way to say “develop a mental illness”

              No it’s “kill or be killed” mentality. The gun gives you ultimate protection but ultimate responsibility as well. A legal gun owner will be the most responsible person you know!

                That is not a healthy mentality.

                  Yea my instructor was old school so I’m sure they don’t teach it like that anymore but think of it as a realist.
