Why carry?

[Davidk]

2004 Bureau of Justice Statistics

1,367.009 violent crimes committed in the US which includes 16,137 murders

who needs a gun????

 

[Admin]

only 1.4 million?

 

[SnakeEye]

and at last check we had 298,504,322 people, so thats roughly a violent crime per every 213 people, PER year..
:O
those are frighteningly bad odds..

and one in every 18,494 will be murdered.

By those adds at LEAST 2 of us in this forum are gonna be affected this year

with luck (and a little bit of our nature) we'll defeat these odd (or at least be victorious through superior firepower)

Arrrr

[Pilgrim]

don't forget to add the 2 million crimes that are prevented by people having guns...per NRA stats.

That makes the odds much, much worse.

Now if only the criminals would let us know ahead of time exactly who the chosed 1.4 million are, only 1.4 million people need to carry. Otherwise, you either carry or trust your life and your family's lives to the Blanche DuBois theory of life (and should be dealt with in a similar fashion).
