Ask him to name one person at Virginia Tech who survived because they DIDN'T have a gun.I've got a coworker who's like that. He wants to get a gun again, but he doesn't want to carry it (openly or concealed). He said he used to have a CHP, but let it expire. He believes it's actually more dangerous to carry a gun.
EXACTLY. I'm glad you mentioned that. We once had a lady over visiting who asked in a loud snobbish insulting tone of voice how that I could carry a gun around kids. (Her intention was to embarass me in front of everybody else). My reply: MY kids are worth defending. Her countenance fell. I turned and walked awaySouthernBoy wrote:
This is the point where I say "If you wouldn't protect a child, you are subhuman" and walk away. Nothing disgusts me more.I suspect people who make these outlandish statements enjoy the perceived vaulted level of moral superiority they believe they project. They think that by them making these types of statements, they elevate themselves above the "masses".
Great answer! You could also have offered something similar such as...groats wrote:EXACTLY. I'm glad you mentioned that.

I saw a friend today at Walmart. He said: "Why are you carrying a gun?"
I replied: "To exercise my 2nd amendment right and to p--s off Obama."
He said: "I have a permit too, but why are you carrying a gun?"
I said: "Its like a seatbelt; You never know when you'll need it."
He nodded and walked away, but I could see that he was still confused.
Frankly, I was confused too. Why would a permit holder not understand one carrying a gun? I was openly carrying, but he didn't address that. What could else could I have said in a short time frame?
