thats the funny thing..if u have a gun sometimes u dont even have to fire a shot to save your life or others!

also i didn't see many people running in to combat the killers with big posters saying

Please stop Mr Nice Gunman ..and if u don't stop I will tell u again TO STOP! ..did you?

There's a lot of debate about the number of times guns are used for self defense each year. People like you don't realize that an individual doesn't have to shoot someone. Usually, brandishing the firearm will do the trick.

If only the Kenyan mall had been established as a "gun free zone", such a horrific attack would have been averted.

The latest prisoners surveys estimate that 3,600 rapes a day are never attempted because the victim either showed a gun, said she had a gun, or the rapist though the victim had a gun for some other reason.

So one way or the other, guns prevent 3,600 rapes a day, or more than 1.3 million rapes a year. That is an enormous amount of human misery prevented by the mere presence of a gun.

This message will be lost on liberals. They would rather have a morally superior unarmed victim rather than a woman who knows how to protect herself and saved the judicial system a lot of time and money.

Of course, that would take away business from Lawgator.

Actually it is FAR more common that a shot isn't fired. This makes perfect sense if one thinks about it. The vast majority of people don't really want to have to shoot someone or get shot themselves. Most people tend to give up or leave when confronted with a firearm. This is a great relief to the average law-abiding gun owner that really didn't want to point the gun at, much less actually shoot, anybody.

Unfortunately it is the nature of things that only the worst case scenarios get any publicity so you rarely hear about the non-shooting resolutions. Hell, outside of local news one rarely hears about defensive firearm uses even if there is shooting involved. Here's another example of an armed person being in the right place at the right time but didn't have fire a shot.

Another one where a gun surely made a difference but no shooting took place.

Woman's toy gun scares off masked intruder in Deerfield Beach

When Jane Rainboth was awaken from her sleep by a masked man peering into her bedroom, she reached for the black, semi-automatic pistol on her nightstand.

"I got a gun! I got a gun!" she hollered. But it was a trick — Rainboth's gun was a plastic toy.

The would-be burglar turned heels and ran out the patio door, with Rainboth in hot pursuit down the hallway of her Deerfield Beach apartment.

Wow LG no a shot fired, just a thought of a gun in this intruders mind scared him off

That the power a gun has to protect your life and your family's

Now what if she had screamed I know "Kung Fu" would that had sent him RUNNING?.. because that's what your kind wants her to do!

if it wasn't used or even brandished then the fact he had a gun is irrelevant to the story. Doesn't diminish his actions either

yes I think he would have since the story does not say it was even a factor in the rescues. The gun is part of a picture but not part of the story.

lol..YUP .. the Marines would have stormed Normandy armed with flyers and love letters..LOL:loco:

Why didn't he just hand his gun to the cops else since it was a "non factor"...it could have went off hurting someone or fell out and he tripped on it

I changed a diaper this morning that contained more intelligence than your posts

your thread title could have been "Ex Royal Marine wearing a jacket saved 100 lives" and been just as relevant based on the facts given

The man is a hero no doubt. But the weapon he was carrying did not help or hurt his chance of saving those people. Could it have? Yes. Did it? No. So it is irrelevant to the story.
This same man could have been on goverment assistance , slapped 2 women and forced his girlfriend to have abortion ( things you are against VM) but it had nothing to do with the story so you would have over looked those too.

If this had happened in America he would have been reduced to using harsh words as his weapon for protection as he ran in to save lives!!!!!

If I carry my handgun ( I am a legal ccw permit holder) into a walmart and a man holds up the first register with a 9mm right before our eyes and I stop the man from commiting the crime by tackling him and removing his weapon, my weapon which remained holstered the entire encounter was vital in my ability to stop the said law breaker?

Why do cops wear guns into dangerous situations? Because they are relevant to their safety?

What would one say if u took his gun away and gave him a hat to wear into the same situation?


The gun gave him an extra sense of protection that wearing a hat couldn't..If he had forgot and left his gun at home he would have not ran in!

How many "UNARMED" people did u see in the pics running in to face the killers?
