So, I was talking to a guy I went to college with and told him I was waiting on my AR to come in. He's always gotten on my case about guns and being rednecky and dangerous.
I asked him why guns were dangerous and told him the story of a guy robbing a bank with a hammer, if people don't have a gun they will find other means, guns just happen to be popular.
I explained that a gang member isn't going to suddenly hand over his gun to the police because now he's required to have a LTC but it will make it hard for decent law abiding folks to buy guns for protection and sporting.
He asked so how is a gun going to save your life? I replied well, if somebody is attacking you, threatening your life etc. you draw, fire two shots and call 911 to say "I need an ambulance at the corner of bad st. and guy ave. I was being attacked and fired twice, the guy is now on the ground" and wait for authorities to arrive.
He seemed to think it made sense, and I invited him to come up and shoot with me once I get my guns and he said of course he'd come shoot.
