Citizens in 44 states “Do not fear Gun Owners who “Citizen Carry” (CC).”
In 1986 only eight (8) states allow “citizen carry” (CC) and crime was on the rise. In the year 2001, 42 states now have CC laws on the books and crime continues to drop. Researchers to the self-defense issue, has noticed crime begin dropping immediately after enactment in each state and showed up four - five years before the Brady law. Our Indiana neighbor has issued 350,000 CC permits and zero (0) has been revoked for a firearms homicide. In these states Police Chief’s are pleasantly surprised in the quality of the applicant.
There are 21 times more (est. 2,500,000) CC owners than “street” policeman (120,000) in the United States. Policemen killed 330 innocent citizens in 1996 and CC’ers (30). Statistically you are 300 times more likely to be innocently shot by a policeman than a CC owner. Sidebar: 700,000 Doctors kill by mistake 90,000 people annually in our nation. Our hearts should go out to each and every family and our heads need to be crystal clear on this issue. Also Citizen Carry citizens commit less crime that even Police officers as a statistical group.
Women are the fastest growing group of gun owners in the United States. “Dial 911 and Die” is real with 911 response times from 5 to 30 minutes. Police only stop 4% in the act violent crime. What logic would as representative suggest to a woman to “talk down” the rapist with AIDS or HIV or STD? 10 minutes is a long time. Get your watch and start talking. Do GG (Gun Grabbers) honestly think the rapist will use a condom? Women should be outraged at the GG for forcing such defenseless thinking. Did you know most rapes last from 2 to 4 hours.
Question? Why do you think, judges, probation officers, bail bondman, attorneys and social workers are given the right to CC or decide to carry illegally? If you ask they will tell you, they are dealing bad guys everyday and know the mindset of these early release felons.
Bad guys will always have guns. It is “dumb and dumber” to believe America is safer by taking away firearms from honest American Citizens or to make felons. Anti gun groups and faulty ordinances in Chicago land are doing just the opposite providing “gun free zones” for criminals to operate in.
Most all State Statues are written to protect the general public not the individual. It is the individual’s responsibility to protect themselves and their families at home and away from home.
Road Rage: It is a myth that CC owners kill cops, or citizens with Road Rage. In the United States over the last twenty years only two (2) known road rage shootings have occurred. Believe me if Road Rage shootings were a problem, the Gun Grabbers (GG’ers), would let us know. One case, after a car accident in TX, the driver begins to punch the man in the face, breaking his eye socket, nose. Profusely bleeding from the face and fearing for his life, the 65 yr old driver pulled his gun and shot the road raged driver saving his life.
· My personal thoughts: Every solid citizen who elects to “CC” carry’s a tremendous burden. This burden is to stay legal, or be charged with a felony or at least a grand jury indictment, should they ever break one of 25,000 gun laws or kill an attacking criminal. We have plenty of criminal laws to put them away for life should any CC’er turn to the dark side. · Jesus in the Bible was smart enough to cast blame on Cain for killing Abel, not blame the stone. Those who believe the “GG” fear spinners need to wake up. · One final closing thought, Christian religions and other religions teach the need to protect ones self. Jesus said in Luke 22:36 30 He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. The sword was the finest weapon outside of the home of its time, far better than rocks, clubs, and stones.

Bad guys don't live by the rules. Here is Mrs. Ruth Price story and I would think that you would agree she disagrees with this leftist extremist, anti-gun views. Here is Mrs. Price story. Another disarmed voice.
Mrs. Price speaks directly to the gun control extremists with a powerful message. Requires Audio setup, downloads in 30 seconds, however, well worth your wait for this message.

Women's talk about self defense.
The best news link on the planet for self defense.

Who needs protection? The women of our lives, and our children, the poor who have little police protection, our grandparents, and parents, our wife, and our daughters need the right to self-defense at home and on the street. 2.2 million felons in jail, 3.5 million felons on probation, and 14 million drug abusers looking for their next fix. Do you think they are living in your city? Guns save lives. Gun free zones are killing zones for criminals. Most anti gun liberals are one mugging away from conservative views.
Dail 911 and die is more than a cute saying. It is life or death.
The actual 911 call is Mrs Price voice. Take this recording to every MMM and anti gun rally in the nation. Perhaps the MMM anti guns will be the next Mrs Price.
Another Mrs Price story in Columbus OHIO -- Dialed 911 and Died.
Mrs. Turner's story. Restraining orders, Killer telling police he was going to kill her, begging for life for several minutes, nor did phone call to 911 save this woman's life.

Er, I mean, PING!
Er, I mean, PING!
Even the libs at the Denver Post came out in favor of a shall issue law on the editorial page.
For a minute there I thought you meant this poster:

Sounds like you got the new primer in, but missed the powder charge. I think I'll be there.
Heh heh... well, I'm actually rather new to these gun rights type issues, so please pardon my lack of expertise.
Before I started really researching the issues for myself, I was rather in favor of passing laws that would try to disarm the populace, like they've done in the UK, Australia & even in our northerly neighbor Canada.
I think I've got the safety rules down now, but I will have to get you to show me how to properly load this thing...
Policemen killed 330 innocent citizens in 1996 and CC’ers (30). Statistically you are 300 times more likely to be innocently shot by a policeman than a CC owner.
The source for the 330/ 30 statistic is Professor John R. Lott, Jr. in "Now That the Brady Law Is Law, You Are Not Any Safer Than Before," Philadelphia Inquirer, Feb. 1, 1994, p. A9.
This is NOT a statistic on concealed-carry permit holders, it is a statistic for all civilian gun owners in the USA! These far, far out number the CCW permit holders.
Sorry, ChicagoFarmer, that should read either:
This is good, ChicagoFarmer, but I must take very strong exception to:
or:
This is good, ChicagoFarmer, but I must take the strongest possible exception to:
(Dang. Another misfire.) 8-)
I voted for the concealed carry law a few years ago, and I hope that another will be on our ballots soon. All the best Freepers!
Here is the bottom line.
Today, at this very moment, you and I can exert our RIGHT to "bear arms" in Missouri.
IF need be, it is much easier and less costly to defend a RIGHT, than a privilege. RIGHTS are inalienable, absolute, enumerated and categorical.
This raises the probability of a victorious court battle significantly.
Privileges, on the other hand, granted through legislation, are fluid and subject to easy and numerous changes, thus lowering the probability of a victorious court battle.
You surely will run into the bogus "compelling state interest" argument, which will be the nail in the coffin to your court battle to defend a privilege.
You are still begging for a privilege from the MO legislature and you cannot exert that privilege and if you do exert the privilege before it is granted you will not be able to defend that action, constitutionally and will surely lose.
Go ahead, knock yourself out using your energy and political capital on a privilege versus a right, which is as about as stable as a foundation built on sand.
If the a conceal carry law ever does become enacted in MO, I will never apply for the privilege.
When you do, you have just registered your firearm for future confiscation.
