[QUOTE="MagnumPI"] They don't understand the freedom, because they've never had it. They seriously think they are safer, bcause they don't have guns. Apparently they don't realize how easy it is to kill another person without using a gun.
If I can trust a person not to burn my house down or shank me why can't I trust a person not to shoot me? If I I can trust a person not to put an arrow in me why can't I trust a person not to put a bullet in me?
As long as you don't give a person a reason to harm you they won't shoot you.

People don't need a reason to harm anyone. If they have the means and pay no heed to the consequences that they may face, they will do what they have to to get what they want. I would trust no one that you don't know well.
Onto another post(not too sure who posted the wallet scenario, this response is to them):
If I had a gun and someone demanded my wallet with a knife, I would give it to him. I wouldn't carry a firearm in the first place, but killing someone else for such a small thing like my wallet is just crazy. It kinda seems more like ego than anything else. And if you pull a gun on someone, you had better be ready to pull the trigger. Is it worth it? No way man. My wallet and it's contents can easily be replaced, however I will have to live with having killed a person and all that comes with it for the rest of my life. The only way I would use a firearm would be as an absolute last resort and then some, and only if my life was at risk and death seemed imminent. But even before that, I would try my best to not put myself into a potentially threatening situation in the first place.
You don't need a gun to take on a fella with a knife.
There's always a reason for everything. Like when I scratch my butt, it must be bothering me. Your statetment is full of reasons." People don't need a reason to harm anyone. If they have the means and pay no heed to the consequences that they may face, they will do what they have to to get what they want. I would trust no one that you don't know well." May not be good reason but they are reasons. Don't attract their attention and they will leave you alone.
That would be your personal judgment call. That's your responsibilty. Not a firearms. His actions shall cause a reaction. How you deal with it is your thing.
If I he had a knife I would just stab him with his own knife. You want my wallet? Come and get it, but when you get stabbed that's your problem.
Besides.. if you dress low key and don't flash money and valuables around hoodlums won't bother you. A hoodlums knows the score. He knows the game. Nobody gives me what I own, so if he wants it he is going to have to come through me. If he challenges my refusal with lethal intent I will kill him, because if injure him he will sue me. I'd also do it to stop him from harming someone else in the future.
The wallet is not the issue. The Hoodlum is the issue. Besides people who still have fear show it in the eyes and with their body language. Just like a poker game. If you can see they are bluffing nothing will happen.
This guy would be willing to hurt YOU over a wallet, some mere money and YOU feel sympathetic and believe his life is worth preserving?
He decides the outcome, not me. I won't give the douche bag a thing. If he wants to engage me that's his choice. He either backs down or we go at it, because I don't back down, never have.
I carry a dagger concealed on my boot and a second concealed on my belt. They are both as sharp as a fine diamond stone can edge a blade and they are both throwing knives aswell as fighting daggers. So if I really need to, I have those options. But I would prfer to stab a person with his own knife. To add insult to injury.
But there is really no reason to kill the guy at that point. When I take his knife away he's no long an aggravation. Just let him go because I wouldn't want to bother with a police report anyway.
Hoodlums look for yuppiess and suckers. So don't go around wearing flashy cloths and flashing around valuables. If you have flashy atire and valuables they will do the math. If you have expensive stuff, jewelry and other valuables then obviously you have money. So be smart and blend in with crowd. Then you won't have to worry.
