America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

I've lived in cities enough to lock the doors, but when I moved to my present location, it was not uncommon for people not to know where their house keys were. There was a time when you could tell out of towners or new to towners by who locked their car at the local grocery store. The time I was most nervous about guns was when I had a 100 or so of them in a car, transporting them from one plant location to another.

Couldn't have replied with a more sound answer to an otherwise silly question. Very well said Anthony!!!






LMAO....touche'

Thanks for the idiotic reply.
Don't you have some cigars to sell or something/

Don't you feel dirty working for a company that makes a product you despise ? Or are you to hypocritical to see the fing irony ?

Banderl do you wear a seat belt because you're scared? Fire extinguisher? Car insurance?

How did you get to projecting others reasons?

AB, it think it is you that misses the point of the question. One does not carry because it is a legal right. It is a legal right to have a sex change, but that's not why people do it.

No one carries for no reason. And saying "because I can" is a cop out (no pun intended). Now you may feel that the world is a dangerous place and you need to protect yourself and others. But you don't embrace the risk of handling a weapon without reason. That would be foolish.

This segues us to the question "is anyone 'safe' without a gun". And of course sometimes people are safer without a gun.

I'm making the following observation in the interest of keeping an interesting discussion (I'm enjoying this) from drifting into comparisons that do not line up...

home fires and automobile crashes are not the same as home intruders and armed robbers on the street.

The first group of events is comprised of 100% pure accidents.

The second group is intentionally planned by perpetrators, the victim may be random, but the act is controlled by a human being. Unless arson is involved, the two groups are not comparable...

Now, to me, if one is likening guns to insurance, then they are also reacting to fear of the unknown/uncontrollable by purchasing arms.

And that is fine, but on some level there is a motivating fear. Perhaps guns assuage that fear somewhat?

Sure, I am "afraid" of a fire or accident and protect against the loss with insurance, but that insurance is required by law to get a mortgage or vehicle so fear plays no part in the purchase, though the insurance helps one's comfort level.

I have less of a fear of violent mayhem though I would be in denial to believe it is not possible. But I have a choice whether or not to purchase deadly protection.

It would take some level of personal fear to do so. But it is not like fear of accidents, at least not for me.

When's the last time you checked the psi of your spare tire?

Do you have AAA?

How often are you teaching others about firearm safety?

If the ownership numbers stayed the same you wouldn't be concerned?

You're correct. You don't understand something, fear isn't it. Perhaps what you don't understand is some people choose not to be a victim.

Give him credit his statement was 2/3 correct . 1 it's a right 2 he doesn't understand. 3 OK he missed on this the fear is his it's why he wants someone else to take care of him .

You do but you don't realize it . You don't check the air in your spare because you think if something happens someone else will rescue you . You buy insurance so the insurance company can take care of you. I could continue but you'd still be in denial .

Really?
Do you even know me?
If I needed my spare and it was flat, I'd figure something out.
You buy insurance first of all because the state makes you buy insurance.
Secondly you buy it to protect your finances. There is a FEAR of losing everything that you own due to an accident.

I've been driving for longer than you've probably been alive and yet you know what I'd do if I had a flat.
The state of Illinois makes EVERY driver buy insurance, many states do this. If you get pulled over, you are asked for your license and INSURANCE card. No card, you get a ticket. If you have an accident you could end up in jail.
A quick Google search shows that the vast majority of states require auto owners to carry liability insurance.
Unless you live in New Hampshire you are forced to buy liability insurance.
So you do buy it because somebody makes you.

Classy F*cker as per usual, your consistent at least....

Not an idiotic reply at all, he's QUITE right in his assessment....putz

Of course I have fear, you have fear, we all have fear, fear is a motivating factor for many things.
BTW, the state won't give you plates or stickers if you can't show proof of insurance.

What does that have to do with it?
We have to buy a new sticker every year, the age of the vehicle doesn't matter.
No insurance, no sticker.

Still in denial .

The state makes YOU buy insurance . YOU are afraid of the state . Don't try to justify your fear with Google searches just wait for the state to take of YOU.

Keep telling yourself you aren't afraid when you go out . Some more denial hell you might meet a law abiding firearms owner . If they have a air gauge I know you'll drop a load on your panties.

I buy new and run them until they die.
I have a 2009 Ram with 35,000 miles. They were hot to trot to get rid of vehicles at the time so I got a free lifetime warranty on the engine and drive train.
This one may outlast me.

There is no need to visit a DMV office for most insurance issues. Use the Internet, telephone or mail.
Update your policy information with the DMV any time you change coverage or companies.
Your insurance must be written for Nevada and at least one of the named insured must appear on the vehicle registration. Minimum coverage is 15/30/10.
If you drop the liability insurance on any vehicle for any reason, you must cancel the registration and surrender the license plates. You may cancel the registration through MyDMV and mail the plates. See Plate Surrender.
If you are new to Nevada, you must notify your insurance company that you have moved here. Your policy must be written for Nevada. Out-of-state insurance is not accepted.
You can verify whether your agent, agency or company is properly licensed at the Nevada Division of Insurance website.

Better get going.

Gummy, you seem like a nice reasonable guy.
I could get a handgun and a concealed carry permit in the next few months, but I just don't feel a need to do that.
I've never felt the need. I also never questioned the legality of other's right to carry. My original question to CC guys was why do they feel the need?
Are they afraid of their shadow? Are they jumped on a frequent basis? Is their ex-wife after them? That's all I asked.

Banderl, you've gotten answers.

They have to......they build THE ****IEST truck out there...






I repeat....

Carl, you have to remember he has his son the cop on speed dial....
