Two psychiatrists on one thread. This is great being analysed by the two of you. I love it when I'm told what I'm thinking. Thing is you're putting your own thought process into it and it's saying far more about you than me. You can't provide any reasoned arguments about the points I made so you try and deflect attention.

I wasn't arguing with you, it's just that karma/pm'ing pseudo support stuff really gets on my tits.

But, I assume you also don't wear a seatbelt.

Go on I've got to ask. Why do you think that?

Default Re: gun laws

Can we recap on what your points are exactly?
Having never met me, and based solely on postings on a web forum, you feel qualified enough to state I am not a suitable person to own a handgun.
That because I am cautious about advertising the fact I have unloaded guns in a previously unvisited and crappy part of LA (unless you think living next door to a XXX shop is refined living) I must be a pussy.

You are the one diverting attention. The sole purpose of the thread was to draw attention to the fact that one of California's laws has not been carefully thought out. When the law was passed requiring you transport firearms unloaded then the implication of what that would mean when you reached your destination should have been considered. The range obviously worries about being a target for theft - it has bullet proof glass, you pass your guns through a small steel hatch, and are then buzzed in to the building.

You transpose caution with paranoia as it suits your argument. I take the responsibility of gun ownership seriously. I sat classes before I ever bought my first weapon. Part of being responsible is not putting yourself at unnecessary risk, of being aware of your surroundings. Had I been walking with a bag of groceries I would not have been concerned - heck the chances of being robbed are slim to none even in LA. However I didn't have a bag of groceries, I had what was obviously a very large range bag. It was obvious it was full too as it weighs a lot with all the guns and 450 rounds of ammo.

As stated before it was a flippant reply to a flippant statement

I didn't know you had bought yourself a Mac too. Smart move!

Perhaps this guy was paranoid too?
Oviedo police think two people may have been followed home and robbed after they left a local gun range. The man and his friend were robbed in the driveway of a home on Lullwater Drive in the Kingsbridge West subdivision on Sunday.

A mix of points (?):

What really makes me laugh at that argument is that the solution would be to (as my neighbour has) get tooled up like the Marines and live in fear of a particular type of person in a particular type of clothing lest they be about to rape/murder/kill/rob or any felony you can insert here. I have no problem with guns just some of the idiots who have them most of whom I wouldn't give the TV remote to let alone anything dangerous.
I think I just mis-read that part...

Yet you immediately felt threatened by the way some men were dressed thats paranoia, you said they didn't do anything are you frightened of baggy pants?
You take it serious enough to be discrete? Or advertise the fact with a big bag.

I never said you were a pussy I do believe you were the one who used that phrase amongst others about sexual inadequacy and other psycho babble.
