The police are under different requirements than the rest of us when it comes to most situations.
Not mention the police carry their guns right out in plain sight. Nobody knows if I even have one for them to even try to grab. Much harder to get it taken away that way.
I'm just saying even if you are one of the many people who carry a firearm, it shouldn't be the only tool availible for solving problems. Heck, anything can be a weapon. Bash the guy in the head with a fire extinguisher if that is the only thing you can find or discharge it to the guys face. There is always *something* you can do.

You pretty dang confident
A. I wouldn't see the gun
B. I wouldn't be able to get it away from you
Trust me on this, if you have a gun and I'm within ten feet of you, I can get it from you.
You also must remember, a little 9 mm bullet won't stop a grown man...just some things to think about.
I will see if I can find the book for the class we took on how to disarm someone, and successfully keep your weapon in a scuffle.

I'm pretty confident that if you're busy attacking someone else that I will be able to deploy pepper spray or a weapon, since you're concentrating on that other person.
I'm pretty confident that at close range my gun will remain holstered and the spray or a knife would be deployed instead.

So will someone please explain to me why this thread turned into a my-package-is-bigger-than-your-package debate here? Its this sort of attitude that prompts just such behavior.

Nothing less than a 45 son!! If I hit ya, your gonna go down. I'm a great shot! I laugh at the fact that you think that you'd be able to disarm someone. I don't know if your comments are directed towards me, but I'm just saying. Just cause you think you can disarm someone doesn't mean that you can actually do it! Are you some type of kung-fu master? Just cause you took a class means nothing!!
I don't want to get into a big heated debate on this topic, cause it takes away from what this thread is actually about! So I'm leaving it at that.

I agree, and am sorry for talking about weapons, tactics, and preparedness so you have a chance at defending yourself shoild something similar should happen to you.
Just so everyone knows, I avoid confrontations to the greatest extent possible, but strongly believe everyone should be prepared incase a confrontation becomes inevitable.
I guess that's all I have to say on the matter besides how disgusting it is that nobody will step in to help a defenseless stranger.

Don't listen to them, I'm enjoying the pissing contest
Mark Twain once wrote that arguing with an ***** is like wrestling a pig in mud, you both wind up dirty and before too long you realize the pig is the only one enjoying himself.
Well, according to the way our laws are structured, even the bartender/ server can get sued if a patron is in an accident caused by over consumption...it is absurd

I just find it ridiculous that people can sue over ANYTHING and EVERYTHING now a days.
I completely agree. What's really missing from this country anymore is a sense of personal responsibility. We've gotten so accustomed to not being held accountable for our actions from the time we are small children that we expect that same standard as adults. If more people worked on their own sense of personal accountibility for what they do and say, the better off this country will be.

Vinny... I hear choirs of angels singing...
We've found something we agree on!
Refer to our society is going downhill, these are the things I was talking about
I agree. HOWEVER, it is the way in which you are presenting your arguments and the means with which you wish to see them implemented that pose a problem for me, both morally and intellectually.
