That the "always pack and my gun stays loaded" crowd don't have their guns locked away at home.

 

You have made no point at all. Because you have absolutely nothing to back your statement up.

 

And locked away isn't the only way to make a firearm safe.

We keep the clip and weapon separate. They both are accessible, but especially with the safety (or lack thereof) of the glock, we make sure it's a conscious effort to ready the weapon.

That joker on the second floor balcony will be plinking at you from an elevated position.

Probably not the best choice of words right now.

I had an argument with a friend over the weekend who didn't believe anyone (adult and legal to own a gun) could open carry a handgun on their hip without having a special license or permit in Kentucky.

 

My co-workers were shocked when I told them that.

 

And in Kentucky you can carry a wide range of weapons. Granted, you may get a lot of weird looks, but it is legal.

 

Agreed, had a friend that thought CCW's were essentially permits to carry gun in holsters....

Ah, we are all a bit too sensitive. Had the youngest been carrying in the theater, the assailant would have had fire returned, of this I'm sure.

So you don't believe there is an added risk of an accidental shooting in a house with guns versus one without?

 

Are you taking notes from Clyde about posting. Sure not having guns is safer for kids than having them, but it's not like you have to put your guns out for show and advertise them. Like I have said before no one needs to know you have a gun or where it's located and that includes kids.

By pulling a Clyde you mean, "asking brilliant questions", correct?

 

More like asking questions that make you question someone....

I agree to an extent. But if we are talking about one of the "I always pack and my gun stays loaded" kind of people then yes, I do think you are adding a risk to your house that shouldn't be there with children. If you are a hunter with guns locked away in a safe --- not so much.

 

Also, the highway vs freeway analogy doesn't really work here. Most accidents happen close to home...

 

 

Homes don't exist next to highways, where the hell did I drop my friends off yesterday?

Where's your gun when you are at home?

 

Clearly it's either A) in his sock drawer or B) in with the rest of the kids toys..... Get real.

Or don't have kids to find them........

Please... Terrible attempt at a scare tactic.

I would love for someone to explain to me how it's safer to have a gun in the house vs not. Especially in the "always loaded" scenario I'm talking about...

I am being real here. You gun guys are quite a sensitive bunch.

In my opinion he couldn't have known last night that no one was carrying, therefore it didn't stop him then...why would it stop others in the future? IMO it takes a special kind of crazy to do this. The gunman will not be deterred.

 

It wouldn't stop him from starting the rampage, but it's very likely it would have saved multiple innocent lives.

If that's the case then I hope you don't own a gun.

I own multiple guns. Not sure what the issue is with that...
