Imagine being such a pussy you not only need to have a gun on you at all times, but can't take an extra 1/2 second to cock it before you need to fire thereby endangering yourself and everyone around you.

There was a little girl killed by gunfire in England the other day. Must be weird for Americans that this is actually headline news for days on end over here. While the killer is still at large, we can rest easy that the police have arrested the guy who was meant to be shot.

It would be like "Heh, cutting off a thumb is part of cooking" or "Ah well, running over the occasional toddler is part of driving a car." I'm not going to say "it will never, ever happen to me" because pride goeth before a fall, but I garun-loving-tee if it did my attitude would be at a minimum contrite and intensely diagnostic of how to avoid it in the future, if not "hey, am I still fit to handle gats?" Safety is a constant practice you drill down to muscle memory and "eh I just sent one recklessly, it happens" is incompatible with that. I will make a grand bargain with the people who want confiscation that sincerely professing that attitude should be grounds for confiscation, no fukkin problem.

Not sure if I can articulate this properly, but I find it a bit peculiar that you don't hear more talk about body armour from the pro-CCW/open carry crowds. There are tons of photos of some dickhead strapped up in a Starbucks or whatever, but rarely do you see them wearing a plate carrier (except more recently at CHUD protests where they're LARPing). I mean, the whole reason you're carrying is ostensibly to protect your life, right? In case someone is attacking you with lethal force? If you're so convinced that the world is full of mortal danger that you need to carry a firearm, why not also wear body armour in case someone else steps to you with a handgun? If you can be arsed to put on a pistol and a spare magazine to go get groceries, what's a couple of pounds of ceramic on your chest? Is it a hassle to wear? It's saving your life we're talking about. There's something disingenuous about it, to my mind. Like perhaps for a lot of people, carrying a weapon isn't necessarily or primarily about protection, it's about power.

Hard armor is heavy, uncomfortable, and cannot be concealed. The gun issue is strange because guns and gun laws have not meaningfully changed in basically a century, and yet only now we see this proliferation of spree shooters.

slurm posted:Hard armor is heavy, uncomfortable, and cannot be concealed. Yeah, but it's your life we're talking about. Soft armour is a thing and it'll stop most common handgun rounds. Plus, everything you said is true of an AR15 - what about the open carry crowd? Is there something different between wearing five pounds of ceramic and slinging a seven-pound rifle?

You guys are inquiring about this as if there is a logical reason behind it. Also, you can get plates and a carrier for $500 or a pistol for $200. It's much more fun to shoot someone than to be shot I'd imagine.

It's super easy to get body armor and plates. It's a matter of cost more than anything: (Level III can stop 7.62 rounds, IIIa can only stop most handgun rounds) Why buy a gun? Well, the fascists have them and they're increasingly looking for excuses to use them.

Yes, this is one of the only salient points for carry that the militant left often cites, and I honestly can't really find objection to it. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it would at least be logically consistent to also suit up if you're going to carry. When people walk around in shorts and flip-flops with an AR, that consistency is missing, and it strongly suggests to me that they aren't really all that concerned with their own safety.
