Sometimes in casual conversation, a person will state something similiar to the following:
Having a gun increases the possibility that someone will get hurt.
If the gun were not there, nobody could get hurt by it.
I know the usual cliches:
when seconds count, the police are only minutes away;
it's better to have a gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it;
that gun is not going to hurt anybody that doesnt need hurtin';
And I can address the CC vs OC issues/concerns.
(Thanks to all ya'll.)
Their point is that since a gun exists in the area,
it's technically possible that it could come out of the holster (how doesn't matter), and be fired.
If it were not there, that would not be possible.
Well.... yea... that's true.
I sure would like an intelligent, concise, logical answer.
Can anybody help?
