More gun news than you can use.

BINGO

If sirs and Plane have a gun, a hundred guns, a thousand guns, it does not make me any safer.

Not designed to make you safer. 

Plane is simply pointing out the facts that more guns are currently in circulation, and despite your cries of too many, violent crime has been going down, thus debunking your own claims.  It's no wonder you "don't see it".  Seeing it would be tantamount to declaring just how wrong you've been, on this issue

[Plane]

If sirs and Plane have a gun, a hundred guns, a thousand guns, it does not make me any safer.

It is an ingenious system for making you safer.

In the US a home invader is rolling the dice with his life in the balance, when he breaks in he can't know that it is not my house where there are guns to drive him out again, if he is fast enough. 

This system benefits you directly , but if you do not like it you can post a yard sign that informs all concerned that your home is a gun free zone. This nullifies the benefit to you of your neighbors being armed  .

I'm gonna go out on a limb and declare that as much as the professor detests that anyone else exercise their 2nd Amendment right, that he has no intention to provide would be bad guys that his home is perhaps a tad less protected than anyone else's

Eeeeeh...


Lets not read his mind, in spite of long familiarity , it is better to get it from the horse.

I'd say it's a safe bet

[Xavier_Onassis]

If I owned a business, I would not post any gun free zone signs. People who had guns would not check them, and it would only annoy them. I am not opposed to people thinking I am potentially dangerous.

Good thing Plane didn't take that bet with me

I am not opposed to people thinking I am potentially dangerous.

  This is exactly the big deal.

    Everyone has personal experience , almost everyone discusses things, we all compute more or less well the dangers of doing what we want to do.

     In your state does the criminal culture expect to find resistance to crime to be certain, likely , unlikely, impossible?

   That is hard to know , but it is not hard to suppose , that the criminals in a community know better than anyone what the odds are for getting shot on the job.
