Guns

[Jim King]

During the 5+ years I was a long haul trucker I had a big red sign in the lower
center section of my windshield that said beware of dog. And NEVER had anybody
approach the truck. Just the fear of an unkown quantity (the beast) is enough.
The problem with a gun is that if you have to use it, you will lose no matter
the outcome because of todays society and lawyers. Jim

I gotta respond to this. I sell guns and sometimes carry one. I have one
in my car with me at all times. Richie chapman may very well not be among
the living had he not drawn and fired his pistol. That's what we carry one
for. I would much rather deal with the lawyers than the undertaker. I
believe in my God given right to defend my life and the life of another from
attack. It is very much a personal decision each of us can make. I think
all the states but not all cities permit a person to have a firearm in their
home. A motor home is a home but is also a motor vehicle. I don't know
what the risk is here. If I carried in a motorhome I would look into this.
I carry in a trailer and that may be an advantage. A 9mm with good hollow
point ammunition works about as well as a 45APC or 40Smith-Wesson. I very
much agree with those who advocate educating yourself about gun use. There
are lots of good books and some good self defense schools. Most would tell
you that your frame of mind is important. Don't carry just to feel good.
Tactics are more important than the weapon. Be safe.

The use of a firearm against an attacker will make a real mess out of your
life for awhile. Non use of a firearm may end your life or it may not but
it does give you some control over what happens. The very best defense is
to avoid the danger. Go to some place known to be safe.

May I suggest a publication that addresses the legality of carrying guns
in vehicles, including RVs. It is titled "Traveler's Guide to the
Firearm Laws of the Fifty States." It is revised annually. I have
included the Website for your convenience.

As usual you hear a whole lot on why you shouldn't own/carry a gun.

I'd like to present my take on why you might consider owning/carrying a gun.

In those few seconds right before people die violent deaths at the hands of
their murderers how many of them do you suppose had their last thought "I
wish I had a gun".

All the arguments presented against can be resolved; take your wife and go
to gun handling class, you'll meet nice people and there is even a group on
Yahoo which promoted guns in RV's (gasp). Get a gun lock or better yet a
security gun box.

Amazon.com reports that the book "the travelers guide to firearm laws" is
last printed in 1999. Assuming that this is true, the book is of very limited
value; does anyone know of a more current resource??

I fall with the view that I had rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Also if you really find the need to shoot, do not shoot to wound. Anything
less is really bad judgment on the shooters part.

Also remember, the fifth amendment gives you the right to remain silent.
This means just that!!! You don't have to blab your head off to anyone; it
will ALWAY come back to haunt you Just ask Martha Stewart!!!.
