And u and your CCW boys would of been right there to intervene?
Cmon man.. Even if CCW is granted in HAWAII not everyone will carry.. CRIME DOES HAPPEN BRO. IF you think u need CCW then carry and explain to POLICE why u carried and shot the suspect. With our Judiciary system i am sure u will get off.
Damn man if you all want CCW so bad maybe this is what its gonna take.... Just giving u all a different view of this CCW debate.
I imagine you like fishing, or maybe liked to eat fish, since I don't know to many guys that dont, especially local ones let me toss you this.
So, if 2% of the fish on the island were poisonous, but you didn't know which ones, would you eat fish? I sure would not... I have been to vegas, and seen people win greater then 1/100 odds.
That is how concealed carry works in detering criminals. When people have to take a concious effort to think about, "If I try to do this, will someone shoot me" it does make people think. Research shows, that criminals are more afraid of a victim killing them, then they are of police at all. These are facts my friend. Firearms, when utilized properly, and carried by responsible individuals, are a deterrent to crime and added protection for society.
Of course not everyone will carry. Not everyone is responsible enough to carry, and many simply don't like firearms. However, many people do want to carry firearms. I am one of them.
So -- would we have been there to save her? No, probably not, it's a small percentage of people here who would carry. Could she have saved herself? Could she have stopped this thug in the act of raping her? Of course.
The point is -- SHE NEVER HAD A CHANCE, and we must empower ourselves to HAVE A CHANCE.
