[QUOTE="Chas1, post: 386189, member: 15738"] Bigbuck, my apologies I should have done a better job of explaining the example of Billy Bob. Billy Bob is a law abiding citizen which most folks are, except now most of the Billy Bob's can legally carry a firearm loaded w/o training and I not sure it's a good idea to have Billy Bob anywhere near me or my grandkids in the grocery store, school, park, neighborhood etc. Sure I understand the rest of your logic but, IMHO the odds of an accidental discharge of a firearm by an untrained individual far exceeds the Joe Thug crime scenario. Put simply I've witnessed a few accidental firearm discharges in the military, work, the range, and hunting and yet in all my years I've never been in a situation where I had to unholster and/or fire my firearm at Joe Thug. I just wondering if we have 1000's of Law abiding but untrained Billy Bob's out there packing a firearm 24x7 and maybe boozed up or whatever(see BB may not know that's illegal cause he hasn't been trained)...are the odds of an accidental discharge greater than Billy Bob saving the day at a crime scene. I respect your opinion but disagree. I don't want anyone near me in a shootout that hasn't had the proper training...friendly fire is just as deadly. Who amongst us has or would hand a weapon to anyone knowing they were untrained? I wouldn't, would you? [/QUOTE]
