Yeah, gun stores never get robbed because everyone knows that the owners and patrons are packing heat!

hey remember that episode of it's always sunny when dennis threatens to shoot that guy and then everyone in the gun shop pulls out a gun and stops him?  that was awesome and never actually happens

Nice straw man. This post would be relevant if anyone had actually mentioned whether or not gun stores get robbed. You should try reading Junker's post again and find out where you went wrong.

It was a gun show, get your facts straight.

Oh and all that other stuff I agree with.

Gun shows, gun stores or even gun ranges don't always result in a shooting massacre, this goes directly against your idea that lots of people in a confined space with guns is a bad thing.

Untrue. You don't need always, you need often.

I've been surrounded by guns my whole life, whether at home, gunshows, gunstores, Iraq, out target shooting, hunting, or simply carrying a concealed pistol, or whatever, and the only time I've ever had a loaded gun pointed at me was in Wurzburg, Germany back in 97 while waiting at a stoplight.

Where was your Gun then?

Presumably America.

My Gun (capitol G and all) was at my dad's house back in the states. 

Anyway, I was in Germany.  With all their firearm regulations in place, I thought I wasn't supposed to be concerned about someone walking up to my car and pointing a gun through the window.

What good does pulling out a gun do when you already have a loaded gun pointing at you?

How do you know it was loaded?

The only thing stopping a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Besides I am trained to use a gun because I go shooting every weekend with my buddies. Criminals are not trained because they are too busy doing drgs.
