"People like this guy give gun owners a bad name. He obviously has no idea how to properly handle a firearm."

or when to not handle it at all.

Who knew Yosemite Sam bowled? LOL

clintoflannagan - don't paint me as naive, my friend. I am quite certain of many places I can go without my pistol.

I think you caught yourself in your own web with your comment, anyway. You start by saying you never know... so you carry it everywhere... then correct that by saying "except where it is illegal".

Which is practically everywhere. You can't carry in the mall, the movies, gas stations, the football game, a concert, etc. to infinity.

I stand by my original post. I avoid places where drunks and thugs hang out at night and don't need my pistol.

People like this guy give gun owners a bad name. He obviously has no idea how to properly handle a firearm.

"this isn't 'Nam Smokey, there are rules here. you mark that 8 and you'll be entering a world of pain."
