Well, this rational person insisted my claim was a myth, an urban legend, and a falsehood. Basically called me a liar.
No, he did not. He bemoaned the perpetuation of such myths, and was correct to do so--and still is. As he pointed out in his post, isolated instances of gun-grabs out of millions of instances of OC mean that gun-grabs are unlikely. Using them as a reason not to OC
IS perpetuating a myth, specifically the myth that OC puts one at significant risk of a gun-grab.
We deal with FACTS on this site. We routinely ask that contentions be supported (and thank you for the support of your contention of a single gun-grab). We bust myths left and right. None of that is calling one a liar. I would submit that saying GS called you a liar is, itself, a l....well the statement is untrue.
GS is one of the most rational and respected posters around here. You would do well to apologize and establish a ration-based relationship with him.
...But lets not all pretend this is the only gun grab on an OC'er that's ever happened. And no, I'm not going to google for you and provide you links to every single incident ever...
If you try to google it you will find two, maybe three. There are only two that I know of that have been confirmed--and we have spent years looking for them. If you choose not to google it, then scan this site. You'll see the gun-grab myth busted again and again. Apart from hugely isolated instances, it really does not happen.
Moving on.
