I attempted to post some parts of the martial arts thread, but, I was unsuccessful.
My opinion is that firearms are no less legitimate as a means of self defense than any other. Am I wrong?

Well i dont think anyone in their right mind would take on someone that has a load double barrel shotgun pointed at their face, maybe if your as quick as Bruce Lee u would beable to disarm him :rotfl:
Mr Kung fu lee, Mr Street fighter or the pit fighter aint got a chance against a arrogant basta*d with a loaded shotty. |
Now why would you imply that only an arrogant individual would have a laoded scattergun? |
i meant if the thug has the shotty if the homeowner has the shotty & comes face to face with a knife weilding pyscho hes not being an arrogant basta*d but a sensible basta*d.  Would i shoot someone who confronts me for my money holding a meat cleaver, easy for me to say yes but put in that situation i dont know, maybe i would shoot him in the knee caps then ring the cops:hmm: I would have to weigh up the good and bad, the good is i would stop him in his tracks the bad is i would be charged for injurying another human being even though it was self defence, the law in NZ is your more than likely be charge for protecting yourself. 
Are americans allowed to carry guns on them, we all know the US is the gun tottering nation, if you have a gun licence does this allow americans to be able to carry a magnum 45 etc around with them? |
Perhaps you have seen too many Hollywood films which glorify firearms for the wrong reasons and villify them for the wrong reasons. Here is a link to the firearms laws by state:
