Eeyore, you have no idea how many people walking around are carrying legally. And they have no desire to be vigilantes. Just wanting to protect what’s theirs. As they LEGALLY can do. And I *DO* know what’s worse…the thugs. If you don’t understand that, then you don’t need to have the responsibility of a gun anyway. Good thing you realize that.
Batman, I’m on your side with this. If folks want to endanger there own lives due to misguided gun control beliefs, who am I to help them.
That said, words have meaning. Your Glock 19 is NOT registered.
The liberals would LOVE to have you register your guns, but alas, it is unconstitutional. There is no such thing as a “registered” gun in Florida (other than class III) weapons, but that’s for another day.
(Off my soapbox)
eeyore, I will be sure to keep my Registered Glock 19 handgun in it’s holster if I see someone robbing your home or raping your daughter, wife etc. Even if you are unarmed( as obviously you would be) I will just stand there and watch with you while we wait on the proper authorities. I wouldn’t want to be accused of being a vigilante.
…sure do love the john wayne mentality some people get when they are armed…its like they want to have a reason to shoot someone…dont know whats worse the thugs or the wanna be vigilantism…
To xpeecee: DITTO!!!
Someone had told me this area had drug trafficing…guess they were right!
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun! Glad the good guys were not seriously injured…
