The exact point where preparedness turns into paranoia in the gunfucker's mind is a fascinating thing. Keeping a round chambered is excessively reasonable, but I'm pretty sure trading in that Glock for a dart pistol loaded with cocktails of extremely painful and extremely deadly venoms would constitute an armchair diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder.

Well, yeah - a dart gun full of deadly venoms is just...cruel and ineffectual for personal defense. Thats an implement of torture you sicko. (Much like your posts.)

that's why he carries a gun on each hip, duh. can't be too careful these days

although if you weren't a chickenshit liberal you would know the immediate proper response is backflip, pocket sand, low tiger claw, 2x monkey hammer and then you can draw either weapon or a knife at your leisure, though only if you've done a proper ocular assessment of the immediate threat condition

Have fun when the guy you thought was a mugger pulls an Andy Jackson and blows your brains out. Just think, if you'd had a dart loaded with curare, he'd be too busy suffocating to realize his whole body was paralyzed. The best defense is a good offense.

If a mugger is that close to you, you're likely in some real trouble anyways. A high profile example would be the George Zimmerman shooting: the zim zam was able to get a shot off while getting the poo poo beat out of him on the ground. Regardless of the crap surround that entire event, you're not going to be coming out on top with an unloaded gun in a scenario like that.

For the record I hope none of you dumbasses ever do get your houses broken into, because smugly quoting statistics and glib bullshit will get you real far I'm sure.

No, if my house gets broken into, when I come home and discover it, I'll shoot up the walls in a crude attempt at insurance fraud instead. That's the smart thing to do.

Ok I have to admit my smart guns plan is all about reducing the amount of guns to ones people actually use and having them registered to their legal owners only:so its a lot harder for people to LARP rambo and shoot people up at the next avatar movie because they're sure all the viewers are secret na'vi having a communal meeting to take over earth. Im being honest its not just slapping cool blinky lights on guns there is a policy component so lets do that ok instead of just pretending each individual component exists in a vaccum. Ok good.

George Zimmerman is exactly the kind of shitbag who should not be able to carry a gun. The kind who feels empowered by it to harass and confront people, and who feels entitled to use it to "defend" himself once his overconfidence and aggression has forced him into a corner.

If a man grabs your arm, I hope you don't have a round chambered so that you are forced to actually process what is happening and look for a way to deescalate the "conflict" without resorting to killing someone.

Zimmerman shouldn't be allowed to have a gun. However I don't know of any law suggested that would prevent him from having a gun and at the same time not encroach on the rights of other's to be allowed to defend themselves. It's an imperfect system, that sometimes allows people to legally have guns that use them in a irresponsible or criminal manner. But I reject the idea that we should begin restricting the rights of everybody, or even groups of similar people based on the premise that some of them have acted in a irresponsible or criminal manner.
