Indians For Guns

Hello DOM,
I really appreciate your wisdom again. You imagine the situation that the aggressor is also armed with a gun, hence in equal terms.

I will also be interested to know, if you do not mind to explain, why you did not shoot the 2 persons dead in spite of feeling an imminent danger to your life. Does the Penal Code of Pakistan allow it as in the Indian Penal Code?
If yes, by doing so, you could have made sure that those two criminals would never attack anyone again.

Thanks for your appreciation.
Why dont shoot....??? Aaahhh its a big question.

To own and using the gun is a grave responsibility.
The reason behind the gun owned by me is truly to safe my and my dear ones life from misc reasons.
I will use mine 100% in case anyone come to kidnap or if the matter of my home defence.

But didnt want to get involve nor suggest anyone to use gun in petty crimes like mobile snatching, little cash,
I mean to shoot the BG for saving the amount of just Rs. 20,000 to 30,000. And after shot the person to spend money and khajjal khuwari to save or clear my life from police station or courts.

So, better not to use pistol or shoot in petty crimes, but never leave the person without the shot in case of home defence, kidnapping, attempt to rape, child abusing.

This is what i feel the difference between bad guys and law abiding citizens.

And by the way i use inside the pant holster to carry my gun daily.


Regards.

In a self defence situation,thinking will get you killed.

Dom: very mature response. Bravo
You dont shoot someone for every small little thing. A lot of people could benefit from this in india.

Hello Xl target,

Most of us in the US learn what we call the the four basic rules of gun safety.
They are:

1. All guns are loaded, always (All guns are treated as if they are loaded, always)
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything that you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target
4. Always make sure of your target and what is beyond it.

If you follow the four rules that I enumerated, you don't need a bunch of additional ones.

The US handgun laws enumerate 3 fundamental (basic general safety rules) and 11 additional rules of safe gun handling. The basic fundamental rules are as follows.
1. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction; never point a firearm at anyone or anything you
don't want to shoot.
2. Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
3. Keep the action open and the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it.

In your version of 4 basic rules there are 2 Fundamental basic rules out of 3, 1 additional rule out of 11 and 1 rule on the Safety of target out of 4. Are the rest understood or do not need attention? I am under the impression that the rules of gun safety are not followed meticulously in general if everybody sticks to the 4 principles only mentioned by you.

just see poll and read opinions of same subject on an international canadian forum, Poll results are exactly same..

One of the longest and most beautiful debates that I have read in a while. Both of you (Tirpassion and Gbm) have conducted yourself as gentlemen of your standing should.
Really wish we could have met somewhere where we could have 'wet many a nipperkin'.
I don't have a handgun but have voted will carry with one in the chamber .
