Stuff like this drives me nuts

[jfed85]

So, I am on WTHR reading the news and read the story about the shooting on crazy street. When I see a comment at the bottom of the page that I just could not help but dispute. Now, I could care less about the "Thumbs down" or whatever. What I am severely annoyed by is the general public's stance on my right to oritect myself. I took this screen capture to show what I am talking about...

Obviously I am "Jas". I just cant believe so many people would take the side of a person with such irrational thinking and who lives in the "Guns are bad, MMMMMMMMKAAAAAAAAY" frame of mind.

No, it isnt a big deal and I realize it certainly isnt any new development. Just thought it was worth sharing.

Incidents like this "fuel" the fire.

Two shot, one killed at south side bar

I would have responded that eddie d is probably a nut job for wanting to whip out a gun for getting bumped at the bar and that it sounds like he has anger issues. He set himself up good and you missed it

This. Eddie D isn't worried about you. He knows if he were carrying, he'd be drawing down over any offense, however minor. That's the common thread among the anti-gunners.

Eddie D is Projecting.

Thanks for being involved and leaving a reasonable 2A comment.

Can someone provide a link to where I can read these comments ?

I almost wonder which hand would be worse holding a gun, a criminal's or someone with that poor of a mentality. Guns don't scare me, idiots do.

As mentioned earlier this is classic projection:

I always found, even when I was younger and stupider, that having a gun on my hip caused me to be even more careful about entering into conflicts. I never thought "I've got a gun, I can take care of this", I always though "if this escalates and I have to use my gun, I've got to deal with all that mess."

Right, when I am armed I think about my actions, words, and reactions more so than I do if I'm not armed. At least I'd like to think so

Excellent comment, you're exactly right.

i was a lot more hot headed before i started carrying, now, nothing is hardly worth getting into a possible life or death altercation over.

Eddie D is a brainwashed turd. He has been watching too much television (the media, of course, is admittedly brainwashing people to believe all sorts of things). I've carried a gun in a bar a thousand times. It's never left its holster. Not once. Of course, on the rare occasion where I plan to overindulge, the pistol stays at home.

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Having the ability and the means to take another human life taught me self discipline and discretion.
If you discharge your weapon there is no turning back.

Everyone is capable of temperance even when severely trashed. If someone blames alcohol for discharging over a bump at the bar, they're just making up excuses and have personality problems bigger than their impending legal issues.

what about cowboy butts?
