When I'm not shooting at people that may or may not pose a threat I could carry it around and settle road rage arguments with it.
Wow, what a moron. I'm sure glad YOU don't own a gun!
The 'robbers' wouldn't have gone to desperate measures (robbing 5 Euros worth of cash) with a gun if their situation wasn't this desperate.
Psssh, yeah right. If they're desperate, they'd rob a bank, not some $5 friggin' bucks from someone. Muggers mug all the time. They're lazy and won't get a job so they live a life of crime. They see how well it works and they continue to do so. That person would be better off begging for change than robbing tons of people for 5 bucks.
But either way, they decided to do the crime, so they have to suffer the consequences. That person can go beg for money, get a job, or whatever else. Nice to see yet another liberal trying to glorify crime making them out to be bigger victims than the victims of their crimes.
Having a gun on me and pulling it would have resulted in casualties. Me.
No it wouldn't have, unless you're not trained and are an idiotic gung-ho person blindly drawing your gun without any thought. That's something you just don't do. You wait for the opportune moment. You guys make some crazy careless assumptions.
No gun will ever solve the situation here. And neither does it in the USA.
Sure it does. Each year here, 1.5 to 2x the amount of crimes are prevented using guns vs crimes commited with em. You won't even stop gun crimes, so good luck with that, but you sure as heck can help prevent em by putting the odds in your favor with one.
Having pulled a gun and shooting the perpetrators would have resulted in a change of tactics of the other muggers. They would shoot and take the money and leave the dangerous asking for the idiots.
LoL, yea right. It sure hasn't changed their tactics yet for all the crimes that have been prevented thanks to concealed carry permits.
Great inequality creates desperate people.
Yeah, which is exactly the reason for having guns for a defensive purpose. Someone mugging you is gonna have the odds in their favor. Someone mugging you with a weapon is going to put the odds in their favor even more since most victims are unarmed. With the victims that are armed where most assulters assume the victim isn't armed, the odds are highly in their favor now.
You would have pulled a gun on them?
For 5 euros? Nope, I wouldn't. And that's the thing you learn when training. You can't just pull out a gun any ol' frickin time you want to like some of you idiots are assuming. Yeah, let's pull it out during road rage, what a moronic and ignorant statement, lol. Even when defending your home with a gun, except in places like Texas, you have to show just cause of being quote, "deathly afraid for your life", unquote. Many people defending their homes have been thrown in jail for defending their homes, even when defending their family members.
But if my car was being stolen, or my wallet had tons of money in it from coming out of a Vegas casino or something, or if the assaulter was threatening me or someone with me aside from just wanting my wallet, you better be damned sure I'd blow that mofo away. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
