fight violence with more "violence?" Its called FORCE candy... You can't fight crime with a picket sign, words, or a camera system.

There is NOTHING more respected by a thug entering your home than the sound of the racking of a shotgun slide!

As for accidental shootings, they are going to happen and that is why we have training available to people. Vehicles and operations of them is dangerous too and we have accidents daily, but we still use them, and train people on them.

I carry my Springfield 4 inch .45ACP XD with one in the snout and 8 in the magazine, and a second mag with 8 more. Only time I ever got close to drawing it for use was when a man lost control of his pit bull in a parking lot, and it attacked a man who was walking with his little girl and was trying to keep between the dog and girl! Lucky the dog was taken back into control by the owner, as I likely could not have fired because behind them was the store front and a walk way of people. But had the dog taken down the man or the little girl, I would have fired on that dog from almost point blank range.

This week a man took a man's car by knife point in Orange County. He would certainly have met a different fate had it been my car...

Handguns and firearms stop MILLIONS of crimes every year, but you NEVER hear about them because the typical liberal mainstream media does not report it.

I own several guns, but my favorite for home protection is a 12ga pump. NOTHING makes a sound like jacking a shell into a pump in a quiet house at 2am.. :)

For those that don't have protection in your house, think about this...

You hear someone breaking into your home in the middle of the night. Your fancy ADT alarm goes off. At the same time, the local police get an "officer needs assistance" call.

Now, just how long do you think it will be until the police get to YOUR house???

Please will break into you house and kill you over the money in your wallet. If YOU are not prepared to protect YOURSELF, and are going to depend on someone else, you're asking to get hurt!

Maybe it would be a good idea to build a fence around Wyoming then take ALL THE ANTI-GUN ANTI SELF-DEFENSE fools put them inside the fence and sell hunting licenses to convicted felons

They aren't RESORTING to guns, they've decided to protect themselves, and more power to them.

You might find this hard to believe, but this nation was FOUNDED by people who protected themselves when they had to, and used guns to do it.

Without apology.

I already own a few. I love guns, bows, swords, knives....really all weapons. Some girls like dolls, I like weapons.

DeborahLakeHelen... I'd decline on the Glock .40 and look at the Springfield XD compact! Its not bad, but they have a 3 inch .45ACP and right now for the second year in a row the XDs are No.1 by the guys at "GUN TESTS" My wife has a Smith .38 p + and the trigger is ridiculous. She is more comfortable with my 4" .45 XD

I like www.gun-tests.com because they do not accept advertising, and it take the "politics" out of the surveys and tests they do!

I agree! Arizona has open carry. Not uncommon to see people out in public sporting some of the finest handguns and systems around!

I would rather be at the mall with my family where people are allowed to carry open where a criminal would think twice.

Today we see on TV how many lives were saved by open carry! Israel a crazed man was tearing up the public with a full size bulldozer toppling busses, crushing cars etc. and an off duty Israeli cop jumped up onto the bulldozer with his handgun, shot and killed the man almost at point blank range! FOX NEWS even showed the shooting! That man likely saved alot of lives!

GUNS DON'T KILL ONLY PEOPLE DO.
WE HAVE PLENTY GUN LAWS ON THE BOOKS THAT ARE NOT ENFORCED.
PEOPLE,(LAW BIDING CITIZENS) HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO OWN A HANDGUN,RIFLE,SHOTGUN,ETC. UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, 2ND AMENDMENT, AND THE SUPREME COURT JUST UPHELD THIS RIGHT.
THEREFORE ANY BODY THAT CAN PASS A BACK GROUND CHECK CAN PURCHASE A HANDGUN. FOR THOSE THAT ARE A FIRST TIME OWNER I WOULD SUGGEST TAKING A GUN SAFETY COURSE OR A HUNTING SAFETY COURSE WHICH MOST COUNTIES OFFER. SHOULD YOU WANT TO CARRY CONCEALED APPLY FOR A CONCEAL PERMIT,TAKES ABOUT 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN WITH THE STATE AND FBI BACK GROUND CHECKS.
IT'S BEEN PROVEN FACT THAT CITIES AND STATES THAT ALLOW YOU TO OWN OR CARRY A GUN THE CRIME RATE IS LESS. IF I WERE LIVING IN A HIGH CRIME NEIGHBORHOOD I WOULD OWN BOTH A HANDGUN AND A SHOTGUN FOR THE HOUSE.
NOW IF YOU HAVE CHILDERN IN THE HOME YOU SHOULD

My wife is very Anti-Gun (Hawaii born/raised)
Her only condition to guns in the house was they are on me or in the gun Safe (She bought me a nice Gun Safe).

my wife and i both have concealed weapon permits and i wouldnt have it any other way. we have had them for over 10 years with no accidental shootings. we have grandchildren so we only keep semi autos so they cant put one in the chamber where a revolver only requires pulling the trigger. come in my house your getting shot no questions asked, its to bad that things have come to this point. i was raised in brooklyn ny in the 50s 60s, wasnt a very good neighborhood but there were no gangs and home invasions back then , a gun puts you at an advantage espesially in your home where you are more familiar than the criminal, the police are only good after the fact. i wonder how many of these anti gun politicians have armed security

Abunai, is the Springfield XD as light as the polymer .45 Glock? The WEIGHT thing is what I'm really after, that and of course, its accuracy, which my "big" Glock definitely has!
