I know you won't get this, but someone with the mentality of walking around armed concealed in public and willing to shoot someone, is called a bad gun culture. When someone's brain with a gun would use that gun on someone, they're an unsuitable gun candidate.
The two errors in America's guns -
1) The culture; people's orientation towards guns, towards others, and where's safe to store and use them
2) Gun accessibility and their features
At the moment, the emphasis has been more guns, more armed citizens, and a greater push to get any restriction, pardon the pun, shot down. And what's the result? Weekly mass shootings where 4 or more are injured and/or killed.
And this mass killing took an armed cop and not this fallacy of an armed citizen. Proven fact.
You mean like police, that just don't happen to be around when the shooting starts 99% of the time? You think they should not have guns, or you think they should be hired in such quantities as to have one on on every street corner (unless more are needed) every mall, service station, church, party of more than ten people, multiples for schools, etc.? You are simply unwilling to take any responsibility for your community other than paying taxes? I come by volunteerism naturally, as sort of a family thing. Grandad lived on a county dirt road. When the bridge near one end needed replacing, he and my uncles tore down and rebuilt the bridge by their own labor, using timber cut and machined off their own land, just because my farming grandfather had the skills, equipment and was willing to donate his labor, expertise and resources for the good of his community, simply because the county did not have the resources back in that day and age to adequately handle and maintain all the county roads and bridges. Was his a fool or one willing to support his community within the county. When Hendron (outside of Paducah) had no fire protection, my father and brother were volunteers for the volunteer station that was set up, totally unpaid, uninsured using equipment funded by chili suppers and pancake breakfasts, doing dangerous work, me later when older doing likewise. My father volunteer for the Navy, serving in the Pacific, my brother volunteer for Marines, serving in Vietnam, I did a little over 20 years enlisted and office in Armored CAV and Armor, where I further learned and taught my skills. I do not support nor participate in any militias and am individually answerable to my community and state, carrying additional insurance at my own expense. So what is the difference? I am nothing special, there are many thousand if not hundreds of thousands, maybe millions with similar background. Your answer is, if no government paid forces are in my vicinity when something happens to go down, I should run and turn a blind eye, when I am obviously well-trained, responsible, equipped, and have the approval of the state and federal government (in 30+ states) to assist if the situation warrants? I'm not your problem, no matter how anti-gun you are, as I exercise my rights and in fact my duty to my community, family.
