gun control is using both hands and hitting your target.
this is one reason the 2nd amendment works.

one of the robbers had a gun too...
if neither did it's a different kind of incident.
Godfather.
With gun control laws making possession illegal the most likely scenario would be that the robber would have been the only one with a gun.
agreed but aint it funny that the robber who had a gun shit his pants when he found out a customer also had a gun and was willing to use it...the guy ran like a scard rabbit

+1
would you have the same opinion had he accidentally hit another innocent patron? or killed the robber? oh right, that couldn't happen, since no law abiding "responsible" gun owner shoots only 99%. :roll:

what if ...that's always the big question here on the train.....what if that 71 year old man had not had a gun and those two idiots killed a bunch of people ? what if ,what if ,what if.
Godfather.
that was so funny watching em run out the door.

ummmm :think: what if superman flew thru the window and saved all the customers from the evil Dr. No...
what if what if what if. what if people stopped making a story different than it really is ? :shock:
Godfather.
that why need trained men for this job and thats why police officers are retired at that age,cos cant do the job...
if the old man shot someone and that was your family you wouldnt laughing at all and u would say wtf the old man try to do...
i lost a relative once when some old idiot try to do Rambo...

That was pretty damned funny watching them fall all over each other.
Did the old man actually fire shots?
he got one of the in the leg and in the ass.
Godfather.
I am sorry for you loss, this situation tuened out good and what if's will not change how it turned out, that's all I'm say'n.
Godfather.
But it was funny to see!!!
Now, for you gun supporters, I would like to point out, the criminal ran they hell out of there when confronted with a gun, right? I'm sure you think that shows why it's great that people have guns. The flip side, it shows that while the criminals had a gun, they had no real intention to use it. So there wouldn't have been any bullets flying or chance for loss of life had the old dude not been packin'. Is it really worth the risk of instigating a gun fight?
Good point!

at least it wassn't a one sided gun fight..if the bad guy's were the only ones with a gun then everybody in that store would have been at the mercy of them and that's not a good thing not to mention the one bad guy had bat he was swinging around and I boubt he was on his way to a company softball game.
Godfather.
you mean the same thing you do when something happens and there is no gun-toting hero around? what's good for the goose, GF.

What if the old man pulled out the gun but was a lousy shot?
What if the patrons got shot.
What if the old man's wife who was dumfounded and couldn't move out the way was in HIS way.
What if it happens in your corner pizzeria while your kids are running round the place?
What if it happens in my front yard?
WHAT IF is a legitimate question.
That question...WHAT IF...is what keeps us out of trouble to begin with.
I am not arguing about gun control. My opinion won't change, and my opinion certainly won't change your opinion.
But saying that "what if" is not a part of this discussion is just not fair.
Respectfully disagreeing, as usual
EDIT..oh yeah..and "what if" is the reasoning behind both sides of the Gun Control issue isn't it?

It was, only the old guy shot a gun.
What if my sister had left for home a few minutes earlier or later than she did...would the car accident she was in not have happened?
What if I'd bought a megamillions ticket at the 7-11 instead of Ralphs, and won?
What if my dad had stayed in Germany in the 30s; would I not be here now?
Life's a crapshoot of what ifs, and sometimes pondering them can make one go fucking nuts
Anyway, I was impressed with the old dude's reflexes, and aim.
