Subject: RE: BS: Suddenly Britain has a knife culture
Kendall here.
I've been coming to the UK for many years, and in this trip I am appalled by the number of knife incidents we have seen in the pAST week or so. This used to be one of my favorite places to visit but now I can't wait to get back where I can carry my gun!
Giok, if I could make all guns and knives disappear, I WOULD! However, the reality of is such that as long as criminals carry weapons I will carry mine. I've never used it, never even shown it to a bad guy, so it's highly unlikely that I ever will.
The upshot is, I feel like the playing field is now level and the bastards have no unfair advantage over me.
Raparie, you are right. Carrying a gun is one of the heaviest responsibilities you can ever take on, and you better know what you are doing. As you say, knowing when to NOT shoot is the big question.
