Yet another driver robbed and killed

Horrible.

 

you don't know that for sure. article said he was making repairs. so ok, greasy, oily hands, trying to reach for a gun, and it slips due to the oil/greasy hands, and he still gets blown away.

 

This is not a truck driver issue this is an American's rights issue. We should all be able to carry if we want, no matter where we are or what we're doing. Lots of bad people everywhere, anytime. Some people need them desperately due to their work or may find themselves in high-crime areas regularly.

Of course proper [regular] training, registration, licensing, and permitting goes without saying.

 

this "debate" has gone on for years and years. can one carry a gun? why yes of course, but get caught in a state NOT YOUR OWN where this is not allowed, and then be charged with a crime yourself. the state by state laws are rather specific to say the least.

now of course if it IS a self defense use of the gun, there is still NO way to foresee an amicable end to one's carrying a gun will go. then there are civil lawsuits for wrongful death.

yes, that's right, wrongful death. if YOU were to be killed by a perp, your family has the right to sue the accused for compensation.

so now, if YOU KILL the perp, and you are using a gun that is against the law to have or carry in THAT particular sate, YOU CAN BE SUED as well, and most likely will lose your job, and getting another job, may be tough as well.

so carry on this inane debate on carrying guns, legally or illegally, concealed or open....i'll live my life as i have always lived.
