[QUOTE="GreatLakes4Ever, post: 74189798, member: 415969"] But how well are they able to do that? Think how long it takes you to get your gun out locate the target and neutralize said target. Now think of how many bullets you could fire in that same amount of time. Arming the citizenry isn’t going to work because the criminal always has the element of surprise unless you are not allowed in public unless someone has a gun pointed at you which is insane. As for using an armed populace to scare criminals into submission, some of them aren’t planning on surviving, they are going the suicide by cop route and going to take as many down with them as they go. Those people have no fear of being shot so an armed populace isn’t going to work. Then we have to get into how accurate and good at deterring targets people are. Your world is going to have a lot of dead and injured people from friendly fire. A criminal starts his spree in the center of a room and it is going to be shooting circle. That’s assuming they start shooting at the right person and don’t start shooting at the person trying to shoot the criminal. Those who live by the sword die by the sword and there would be a lot of dying in your world. We need some areas the public aren’t allowed to bring guns. The top of my head I’m thinking of are bars. You do allow people who have been drinking alcohol to have easy access to fire arms. I’ve seen enough fights at bars to know that is a Wild West shootout waiting to happen. Casinos are no good. The streets would run red with the blood of blackjack dealers. I don’t know how many dead district attorney and judges you would need to know courthouses aren’t going to allow guns. Prisons, for obvious reasons. Sporting events aren’t a good idea. [/QUOTE]
