Funny thing about guns and crime. This last year our gun sales soared, but our violent crime rate with guns dropped!
I asked my niece if someone beat a person to death with a baseball bat, should we ban bats? Did the bat company get sued for being involved in a killing? She said a bat can't go off by accident and kill someone. I asked if a person in a car on a cell phone texting hit and killed someone, is it the car's fault? She got frustrated and angry with me, because ultimately people kill people, guns just make it easier like cars!

Either way it's still the persons falt. But! Not just carrying, but using a cell phone in around people, is different than using a gun in and around people!

I don't not like people that talk on their cell phones and drive.
But! A person that kills someone with a car, didn't set out with the car to killl someone in mind, but someone that set out with a gun has aready thought of killing someone with it before he set out with it! Or to protect themself or others from someone with a gun or a bat!

I'm going to put air horns on the top of my truck so I can blast those people that are texting

You still need to be careful Jerry.................

Bob,

Is that a gun with a cell phone attached or a cell phone with a gun attached? Please tell me that isn't a smart gun that you have to type in the combination before firing.

Jack.

Would that cell phone/gun be capable of taking pictures? If so one could shoot, call and take a picture. Did you want that cell phone with or without the gun?

Man, ain't that the truth!!!!

Funny deal today about guns, couple friends stopped by the shop on their way home from a gun show... Seems all the BS about the feds taking away all the guns has doubled the price on anything that is semi-auto, and even the old single action pistols seemed to have gone up in price about 30%!!!!!! No wonder all the big gun shops keep up all the scare ads, sounds like it's good for business!!!!!

Dave,

That has been true for a couple of years, but I think it's temporary. The last gun show I went to was mostly full of tables trying to sell knives, beef jerky, and WWII militaria. The fear of Barry O and his friends has pretty much gone away, and demand has dropped off severely. The dealers I know say that the boom (pun intended) is pretty much over.

Ammo is still an issue though ...... seems everyone (incl. me) has stock piled is just in case.

I too have seen AK's & AR prices back down to normal ......

Seems pocket .380's & 9mm are all the rage right now. Glad I got in prior to the craze.
I keep a Micro Desert Eagle in my pocket at ALL times. Wife carries a Ruger LCP.

Times ...... they are a chang'n.

Man, if I lived someplace where I had to carry a gun everywhere I went.....I'd move....

I've got lots of guns, all locked up in a gun vault. That's where they stay unless it's target shooting time. Don't even bother hunting anymore, too many idiots out there carrying guns during hunting season. Good time to stay in the shop.

Dave you seem to be living in one of the safer places in the area for sure. But you are not imune to anything living where you do. It will catch up sooner or later. You should be safe in your life time though, I think we all need to move to Daves town !
