I also am petrified of guns, however not so much when punting but when flying.
The chance of a gun on board during a flight is 1 in around one million, go figure!
But, the chance of TWO guns aboard the SAME flight is 1 in 700 trillion I think!
That's why I always carry a gun when flying...

So it has come to this has it?

Carrying a firearm has become as acceptable as carrying your watch in your waistcoat pocket.

We are slowly but surely regressing back to our primitive state.

Regressing ? Pray tell from what elevated plane is the human race regressing from. Man's ability to slaughter his fellow man has always been present, we are simply much much efficient about it in this day and age.

We have in fact elevated the art from simply bashing a fellow neanderthal over the head with a rock to electrically operated chain guns laying waste to anything breathing in a heartbeat...

Sir, I mean in terms of civility we have regressed.

Our modern technology enables us to incinerate millions in a split second as hath been the case in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Mr Thomas Hardy puts it best when he says of the slaughter in WWI:

"After 2000 years of Mass,
We've come as far as poison gas."

well today the second protagonist in that Chiki Lamba story got shot dead in drug deal gone wrong. I guess his shot gun that could shoot both your knee caps off with one bullet malfunctioned. Irony that he was living his life like a thug and died as one but now almal sending whatsapps saying the Almighty grant him Paradise. Feel sorry for his wife and family tho

As far as I know the gun law stipulates that it is illegal to leave a firearm unattended to in a vehicle.

I don't have a problem with a client carrying a firearm as long as the client does not have a problem with putting his firearm in the safe until after my treatment is done.

On a daily basis I a more often than not armed. It is a working tool that I wear in the same manner that I might wear a suit, as opposed to an everyday carry that is taken to the mall, the coffee shop etc. (Note; never a bar, I never drink alcohol while armed).

I am of the, possibly over confident, opinion that I can look after myself unarmed and would not dream of taking a firearm in to anyone’s property unannounced irrespective or whether I am going to get undressed or not.

I don’t even allow people within my comfort zone other than to shake hands; I will not even hug or kiss in a platonic manner.

If I have a firearm with me it stays with me, never away from my, not on a shelf, not in a drawer, not in a safe and never in the car. I will not even remove it at friend’s houses.

I do not show it to anyone and avoid as far as is practical any evidence that I am armed. The only time it is drawn is to be used or placed in the safe but not to be displayed.

If I am armed I cannot punt, drink, horse around, act the fool, or be anything other than aware that I have the means to kill a person in a matter of seconds, or to take all statistics in to account be killed or injured by my own lack of attention. That is something that in my opinion deserves constant vigilance and attention.

Once I get home it is in the safe, clip out, cleared and all but forgotten about.

Each to their own but in my opinion but that’s the way it works for me.

Not quite, the FCA allows it provided there a vehicle lock box fitted, alarm, etc... with the creation of legal Gun Free Zone laws they had to allow for vehicle storage laws as a result.

@LeRoux... I won't say I go as far as you but I am the same when carrying, the only exceptions are when I am at my families and then it goes into my dads safe and I don't touch a thing to drink...
If I am going some where it will have to be out of my direct physical control I would rather not take with me in the first place.

The only person I trust with a gun is me, everyone is else is suspect and should be avoided.

For me it's a tool, it is a specific purpose built tool and should only ever be taken out of the safe or holster to be employed in the defense of life or for practice at the range or regular maintenance..
I have no tolerance for assholes who think a firearm is "cool", or buy them based on how awesomely macho they think they will look...
I get the screaming shits with some of my brother mates who think they are toys, and think flashing them around to show their buddies is cool ? it's fucking stupid is what it is.

when i was like 12 my mates and i would make our own kung fu nunchucks sawing into pieces my mothers brooms, and mcgyvered them together with pieces of bicycle chain. Reading all this shit about guns, Im gonna make myself nunchucks again and carry with me to punts

@deamonza thank you for enlightening me much appreciated :)

So then if for the guys that are not comfortable with leaving there firearm in my safet for whatever reasons. Rather leave your firearm in your vehicle lock box.

However what I do not understand is if a guy feels comfortable with his "pistol" in my hands why won't he feel comfortable with his firearm in my safe? #weired face#
