turtles don't move fast, they are easy to frame.

Oh, great! You just painted a target on his shell. I wonder how safe he feels with all these nutters packing.

turtles fear cars more than firearms.

What gun do you guys carry?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Mine is cordless, belt-fed, with a drum magazine that carries 120 0.85-1.75 in. projectiles, fires 2 nps, and is illegal in 4 states.

That's nothing, mine fires plutonium bullets, put that in your pipe and smoke on it!

that is what amaze me that some people think that carrying a gun is invitation for trouble, no one in their right mind would want to use that gun to kill someone else, because it is not as simple, first they will take your gun then you will have to go through criminal and civil suites with unknown consequences for you at the end, then it will take some time to get your gun back and it will take too much time and money, so gun is always a last resort measure in case your life is in danger, and life of my family means more to me then someone else, so just because some people missuses guns or use them in crime does not mean that I have to be left defenseless and rely on avoiding places just because it might be dangerous in there, street is dangerous in general especially if it is some place you don't know well, but this is a free country and if someone wants to give their life in the hand of some thug then it is your choice, I just don't understand why I can't have my choice in protecting my life whatever way I see fit best.

if guns offend you then just don't have one, but surprisingly when trouble happen you run to a person with a gun (cop)

I'd suggest it's a very wise idea to avoid places that you know are so threatening it's only safe if you carry a gun. Mind you, I can't think of anywhere off hand where that could be true either.

Strangely, it seems logical to me to rely on people who are trained to perform certain tasks than look to enthusiastic amateurs. Arresting people who have committed violent crimes being a top contender.
