People who carry a firearm do so for proactive SELF protection, which is in addtion to the reactive protection provided by the police and our legal system.

Gun free zones eliminate that possibility</i><br />This assumes that the "law abiding gun owner that suddenly snaps" waited to do said snapping until after he unholstered his gun and left it in his car just off school property. Furthermore, while law abiding gun owners "just snapping" is fairly rare (I think the figure is around 80% of murders are committed by people with criminal histories), the subset of law abiding gun owners who are CCers is even smaller still. Even if you believe the gun grabbers' stats, 300 murderers out of six million CCers is around 0.005%. On the other hand, most of the mass shootings in the US over the last couple of decades have taken place in schools. Despite this obvious discrepancy in statistics, as well as my other points, you think that "gun free zones are a no-brainer."

While you receive high marks for your usage of various ad hominem attacks (you're obviously an expert on those), there are so many errors in your comment that I don't even know where to begin.<br /><br /><i>it's been shown time and time again that a lawful gun owner can rarely intervene in time to stop anything. But, he certainly can make matters worse.</i><br />Please provide actual proof of lawful gun owners being unable to stop criminals and, no, the use of BC/CSGV/VPC/Joyce/MAIG studies doesn't count. Further, provide proof of lawful gun owners making matters worse. I'm sure the first thing you'll clutch at is Tucson, but unfortunately for you, the gun-carrying good guy exercised excellent judgment, even if he was too late to stop Loughner.<br /><br /><i>gun free zones eliminate the possibility of theft and improper private gun sales</i><br />Actually, gun free zones increase the possibility of theft (and negligent discharges), by forcing law abiding CCers to unnecessarily handle their firearms, and then leave them in a relatively unsecured location (their cars). Further, victim disarmament zones have absolutely nothing to do with private sales. Why would anyone transfer a firearm in a school/courthouse/etc when they can just drive down the block to the Walmart or 711 parking lot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-54240696074095079552011-04-17T12:09:00.753+02:002011-04-17T12:09:00.753+02:00Anonymous, I don't know whose silence is speak...Anonymous, I don't know whose silence is speaking volumes to you. I suspect those are the voices in your head, but I'll try to answer anyway.<br /><br />Some percentage of you law abiding gun owners is really guys who are unfit and irresponsible. Some of them obey the rules right up until that moment when they crack. Gun free zones eliminate that possibility. That's a direct benefit.<br /><br />There are indirect ones too. When the shit does hit the fan, it's been shown time and time again that a lawful gun owner can rarely intervene in time to stop anything. But, he certainly can make matters worse. This cannot happen in gun free zones.<br /><br />Also, gun free zones eliminate the possibility of theft and improper private gun sales which in the rest of the country feed the criminals with weapons.<br /><br />Overall, gun free zones are a no-brainer and only a biased and closed-minded gun extremist who hates the thought of being inconvenienced even for the Greater Good would deny it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-23727681965239041532011-04-16T21:55:19.626+02:002011-04-16T21:55:19.626+02:00Anonymeathead:
