You know...after you get that first experience behind you (assumingyou survive) you do gain a lot of confidence and you do believe in yourself a lot...it may partly help why I sound so arrogant [img]smile.gif[/img] I am a rather....confident person...doesnt make any future crisis any less scary but at least you know what to expect.

I voted no, however I don't think there will be very many negative repercussions if it takes place. People will just defend themselves with knives and bats - which work very nicely if you know how to use them.

I'm not against guns and i wouldn't outlaw them totally. I know some sport shooters and they handle their guns in a safe manner. They have them locked in a box and that one is again locked in a cupboard or something. The gun isn't loaded and the bullets are locked away in another place.
I do however think that certainly the US could have some tougher gun laws. It's one thing to carry a pistol but, as it is legal in certain states, a submachine gun is totaly different.

Unless you have been held up at gunpoint your opinion ain't worth the message board it's posted on.
I've been held up three times. Okay, the first one was only two pipes welded together but I didn't know that at the time. I only wish I had had a gun because I would have blown their heads off. Or they might have blown mine off. I wouldn't have killed the third one though - he was so polite to me.

FWIW, my comment was not intended to imply that people's opinions were not valid unless they had experienced a life or death situation - I tend to view most opinions with interest even if I don't agree (although I have been known to say 'bollocks' occassionally LOL) and everyone is entitled to have an opinion about anything, whether based on direct experience or no. I think it may be the case though that many people react differently than they would have expected - be it running around screaming or attempting to knock the guy's block off. If you see what I mean! Anyway, that's the point I was trying to make in my own incoherent and ineloquent manner. [img]smile.gif[/img]
