If a criminal tried to disarm me he is an immediate threat to myself or those around me. It means I have to do whatever is in my power to prevent that.
Finally. Thank you.
I pretty much said that in my first post on the topic when I said I have an obligation to keep my weapon secure.
Do you feel you have won the gotcha game?
I wasn't playing any game. I was trying to find out what you meant by "I have an obligation to keep my firearm secure". Jesus Christ. I told you at the onset it was an honest question, and not a "gotcha" attempt, and you still stonewalled like a fucking asshole.
I'm not stonewalling. I resist these weird was hypothetical scenarios that are just plain unusual and are typically used to be gotcha questions.
It's the same thing I see when people talk about "common sense" regulations. The problem is that common sense to one guy certainly isn't common sense to another.
Right around the time McDonald vs. Chicago was going on everyone was predicting that every bar fight was going to end in a bloodbath. Every traffic accident or dispute would result in a murder. That was explained as common sense. But it turns out... that's just dumb.
Real common sense to me for example is what happens when a citizenry is disarmed. We can see how that worked out for Venezuela or Australlia or the worst case scenario that is typically mentioned in these discussions but I won't name because I'm sick of it being used.
But to be clear over this whole thing... an unarmed person isn't going to be frisking me looking for a concealed weapon. Your average guy accidently bumping me and feeling a weapon won't be trying to disarm me. Your average dude looking at me won't know I'm carrying. Someone looking at me and knowing I'm carrying is most likely to be a trained professional and therefore not a threat. If I'm carrying, I have an obligation to keep my weapon secure. I'm not a legal scholar, nor am I a supreme court nominee, therefore what that means is simply what the line says. I'll leave it up to the cops or the judge or jury to figure out what it means.
How do I react in that scenario? I don't know dude. No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. I'd like to think I know how I would react but until then I can only train for it and hope the training kicks in when the shit his the fan. Until then my weapons are primarally for home defense and not to be some kind of Charles Bronson or something out there.
