    i have(had) a theory.If motorcyclists could carry guns,and where allowed to use them in the typical car vs bike incident,the frequency of said accidents and the accomanying "i didnt see him" would diminish overnight.
    The problem with guns is that any misuse results in (ussually) permanent outcomes....

    I'm thankful the law does not permit such a thing. Proliferation =/= safety.

    tsk.. pressed the button too many times.
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    In a previous job, I have carried a (concealed) pistol. As a law abiding person, I never felt the urge to shoot anyone with it.
    I've had a big knife under the seat of my car for the last twenty years. I've never felt the need to get out and stab anyone.

    Currently, criminals carry handguns. I can't see a problem with lawabiding types doing it for self defence. Especially if shooting taggers became legal at the same time.

    You only have to look at the level of intelligence/caliber (excuse the pun) of respondents who would like to arm themselves to understand why, as Magua says, proliferation does not equate to safety.

    Let me rephrase then.. Law abiding bright people. That should stop SPAMs having them.

    Oh shit!

    A handgun is the most difficult firearm of all to use effectively and safely. The short sight radius predisposes the bullets to wide dispersion. As in, they are likely to hit anything except what was actually aimed at... Forget the rubbish you saw in the westerns.

    The competence level of our Police with handguns is only marginal at best and they at least get (limited) training.

    The thought of civilians wandering about with handguns would worry the Hell outa me. Imagine a group of pistoleeros with all of the misplaced confidence and inflated egos of the mormon few. How's that for scary?

    If they're that ineffective, surely you've nothing to fear?

    Nonsense. My SIG was a very effective piece of kit. I hit everything I aimed at with it.
