NRA Convention in PA and CCW

[TAB]

There is a big diffrence between a car, knife and a gun.

Take the keys out of a car and the chances of it hurting anyone go way down. 

A kife is a contact weapon, you can't say kill some one from across the convention floor with it.


lets just play the what if game.  lets just say I'm nuts,  I go to this convention where I can freely pick up a gun, there is no zip tie, no teather, no modifcation to the gun in anyway.  If I were to grab a semi auto rifle, say a ar or ak, and I have a loaded mag on my person.  What do you think the chances of some one stoping me from loading the gun, and firing all 30 shots into the crowd?


And before you say this type of thing does not happen.  It damn well has happen.  Not the NRA convention mind you, but other places.

I know I've told all of you about the hardware store that use to sell guns when I was a kid by my house.  How a guy stole a bullet, asked to see a 44 and blew his brains out.  now granted  he didn't go shooting into a crowd, but he could just have easliy turned it on the shop owner and killed him.

I hate to say it, but this time TAB actually has a point, How many stories have we heard of some one going to a range, renting a gun and killing themselves, some of YOU shoot at the range where the mother killed her kid and herself last summer.
Personally, I'll take my chances, but he is presenting a valid argument.

Why wouldn't a nut job just carry the gun in rather than trying to match mags and/or ammo? 

Oh wait a minute, that is exactly what most whack jobs do!

If they were going to do the sensible thing they would not be whack jobs, and they would not be bent on killing themselves or a bunch of absolute strangers.

Its all about state of mind.

Like it or not there are some very sick people in this world.

Last time I checked, its pretty hard to sneak a long gun into some where, but its very easy to sneak in a mag or ammo.

Some one could do like what happen in that hardware store.  Only they would bringhte ammo in. 

even if they had metal dectors.  no one would think twice about a guy with a bullet key chain.

Again TAB has a valid point no one WOULD think twice about a guy with a bullet key chain, especially since the chain part REPLACES THE PRIMER
You should have quit while you were ahead TAB, now you're just being ridiculous

Some of the long guns had firing pins removed, as well as, some pistols where removal is easily facilitated. Some Remington, S&W, especially revolvers, Glocks, (I field stripped a G21 for my son), was completely intact.

Looking back, I could have easily walked into Charlotte with two or three high cap handguns under my shirt and jeans. Char-Meck LEO's were around, but would have been reactionary to someone deciding to let loose.

Instead we had to side step some 3 or 4 protesters laying on the sidewalk from the Brady Bunch. They were representing "all" the meaningless deaths from firearms....I think I still saw a guy in a #3 Earnhardt shirt throw his gum at them...
