If the law allowed all law-abiding citizens to carry handguns openly or concealed?

Ranger prefers gay conservative men any way. Patrick: I doubt that what the asker is saying is that he defends that woman having a right to pull a firearm on your friend as she was not faced with serious bodily injury or death in your alleged personal incident, but I will call your argument for what it is, and that is a straw man. What the asker is asking and saying from what I can gather is that this women was faced with serious bodily harm and possibly death of herself and a third party (her granddaughter) and that having been armed with a firearm and faced with an assailant who was much bigger than herself that she was able to fend off her attacker and that of her granddaughter.

Had she not been able to have a firearm the events could have unfolded a lot differently. As for no one being a law-abiding citizen I think you're just being a little too stringent with the term. The term law-abiding is mostly applied to people who are mostly non-violent; by your definition we could even call the law not law-abiding as many laws contradict each other.

But I much rather not dwell into that because I don't need to grasp at straws to defend a position that keeps force in the hands of those who do not wish to do harm unto others.

When I lived in New Hampshire I went to a local bar with a friend. There was a woman there who got slightly inebriated. She was loud and obnoxious and when my friend told her to quiet down, she pulled out her gun and put it in his face and dared him to say something to her again.

She was a legal CCW carrier and the gun was registered. It didn't make this "law abiding" citizen any less dangerous, or crazy. Are you advocating for armed drunk women to shoot anyone that annoys them?

I keep hearing the term "Law abiding citizen" which I always wonder about, because no one abides by every law. You jaywalk, drive without wearing a seatbelt, cheat on taxes, download music illegally, make copies of movies, litter, loiter, harrass, drive drunk, use illegal drugs, use legal drugs illegally, steal office supplies, and a whole slew of other crimes that the average person is never caught for. No one is a "law abiding citizen", at least not for every single law.

At best we're unconvicted citizens.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
