should gays arm them selves (US)

[Buffylo]

Yep I do believe people should be allowed to own & carry a gun (ofcourse only with the proper training/background checks/etc)
But also limits on some locations - like no guns in schools/etc

I think some situations situations that could warrant carrying would be if you lived/worked/etc in an unsafe (as far as crime/gangs/etc go) area

Personally I'd want the right to own a gun for protection... bot I also see no need for the average citizen to have a semi-auto firearm with a 100-round magazine - thats basically a military weapon (the only non-military use I could maybe see for that is someone hired (and trained/licenced) for border control

I would hope to never have to use a gun on someone. I also think that if you had to shoot someone - sure it might save your life, but (not even counting the legal issues) you're also gonna be mentally/emotionally f**ked for life by having seen/done that.

If CCW was permitted in schools, a lot less people would have died in places like columbine. Any time you put restrictions on where people can carry, you are saying "hey criminals, people in, going into, and coming out of this place can't fight back. take liberties with them as you please!"

It's just wrong.
