How is that? If you are carrying concealed then no-one knows you have it. Power trips require you to excercise your power over someone, which requires them to know it. If you walked passed me on the street you would never know.
I dont walk around thinking "Ooh ive got a gun on me I must be great". I dont think about it anymore than I do my mobile phone.

I think people telling me I must do this and do that because my opinion differs to theres is far more of a power trip.

Now I am worried.

It was posted a while ago, early last year I think. I pointed out that the firearm ID for IL only requires that you fill in your "immigrant number", and then you can get one.

Sigh. Why is that? Let me guess...I must be a huge danger to everyone around me because I dont think about it once it is made safe.

Er, no, I would say you're a huge danger when you forget that the English are devoted to irony.

Ack sorry. To many winking smilies and patronising crap on here today (and thats aimed at anyone who used a winking smilly on me - I hate that bastard thing). I lost my normally monumental sense of irony for a moment.

I'd be more worried if he pulled the mobile phone out rather than the gun. Lol, on guard....

Have you seen some of the ancient bricks they are still using round here? Lethal weapons if you ask me.

Guns shmuns.

FFS what is all the brew-ha-ha about?

Have any of the whiners on this thread actually been threatened, or even given reason to worry, by a gun toter?

Christ on a bike!! Guns are no more dangerous than their owners.

I'm more concerned about the fact that there is a driving license available to every Tom, Dick, or Harry, that manages to fumble their way through a driving test.

Pull your heads out folks.... there are much more pressing matters to be concerned with.

Ayyyyyy-men to that. The sound of reason.

Here we go...

Light the touch paper and stand well back...

And there you go. But dont mention dangerous cars Leslie. Please remember these are (mainly) Brits. And Brits and guns go together like, er, two things that dont mix very well.

candy wy.

how do we no how you feel with your concealed gun maybe you get a kick out of it who knows who cares...

ImHere

Fuck off. I said cars and drivers were dangerous and it was called rubbish.

anotherlimey

Your point: why don't we ban cars because they kill people too
Leslie's point: There are far more pressing matters than people carrying guns, e.g. really, really bad drivers.

Two different things.
