This is how ridiculous you toters are.
You can't admit that a person carrying a loaded weapon in public poses a risk.
Either you are lying (again).
Or you are so fucking stupid that you don't think a loaded gun is a potential hazard if it is mishandled. In which case you have no respect for the gun & should not be handling it.
Carrying a gun poses no risk. Shooting a gun does.
I spend all day on the road. If I had the legal authority to do so, I could take at least 50 drivers off the road each day. You'd be amazed at the stupidest shit people do around a semi while driving. Over 34,000 vehicle deaths occur every year in the US; mostly because of people mishandling their vehicle. Should we start taking drivers licenses away because of that? After all, there were only a little over 500 deaths a year from accidental gun discharges.
See, you ;rove my point.
You think there us no risk for you to carry a loaded gun. Because you are just fucking perfect. You could never mishandle it, drop it, leave it where you shouldn't.

Funny chit because I read about accidental shootings all the time.
Most accidental shootings take place in the home or other private setting, not out in the street by licensed carriers.
500 some accidental deaths a year is no reason do disarm a country of 330 million people. You have a much better chance at hitting the lottery than being a victim of an accidental shooting by a CCW holder.
It's a cheap excuse you on the left use to try and disarm America. You would rather see tens of thousands die every year as victims of criminal attack than the 500 accidental discharges. This is why everybody should vote Republican; because Democrats just don't have any common sense.
Let's just be clear on these numbers. The Violence Policy Center - which has been proven to have fraudulently inflated these numbers - reports 300 shootings a year in the US by CCW holders.
The Department of Justice, meanwhile, reports that there are 321,500 sexual assaults a year in this country.
300 versus 321,500. Which one is the REAL danger we should be worried about?
Maybe more of those 321.500 victims should be carrying a firearm.
Exactly!
If I have to make a choice about what's going to make my life safer, I'm obviously going to prioritize prevention of sexual assault over worrying about the possibility of an accidental shooting, because those statistics tell me the first is a far more imminent danger than the second.
Kinda like I spend more thought and effort on the possibility of a car accident than I do on the possibility of getting hit by lightning.
