You are not a victim if you do not need to carry a weapon to go to the Squares or the movies or Walmart.

Funny how it can manifest itself. My wife threw a surprise birthday party for me about a year before retirement. People attending ran the gamut: A British couple, my son, some co-workers, a couple of tennis-playing buddies, the director of the local mental health facility, etc. One of the gifts I got was from my son: a Browning B-92 lever action carbine in .357 Magnum, still in the original box and in mint condition! They were collectors' items even then and I verified that mine was manufactured in 1982, the first year they made them in that caliber. After unwrapping it I cleared it and handed it around so people could see it close-up. When it got to the mental health facility director she handled it as if it were red hot, with an expression on her face that was frozen in a grimace! However when Will (the Brit guy) got it he threw it up to his shoulder and cycled the action several times. Guns are a hot-button issue clouded by emotion. If we're taught to fear them, no amount of information or reason will allay that fear. |

Sure. He would have shot anyone who approached him with a gun. He is an ex-felon.

He will be convicted of multiple offenses and will never get out. Florida is very harsh on repeat offenders.

As for your last sentence, I liken fear of guns to racism. Ignorance breeds fear. |

The lady in the Cadillac did just that and the perp just missed her. The perp fired into her car at Colony Plaza but didn’t lead his shot so it went through the back seat door and into the dash.

If a guy goes into the Old Mill Playhouse with a long rifle I would hope a Good Samaritan would put well placed shot into him . Facts matter. Now if they are filming a commercial at the Old Mill Playhouse and have signs announcing that then I would think twice before shooting the actor with the long gun. |
