What would a non gun owner do there? Call the cops and hide in a closet?

I dont know bout others, but this non-gun owner would just not deal crystal meth in a drug cartel's territory.

You can joke around like it's an unrealistic scenario all that you want...

There are about 10 million violent crimes per year, including about 2.2 million burglaries. Surely, not all of these people were "asking for it" or whatever.

Obviously. To be honest Im mildly trolling a bit. I do think that owning a gun has a negative personal safety gain, but Im not one to try ban all guns and stuff. People like to hunt. People like to think having an accessible gun makes them safer. I get that. But I cant get the whole AR-15 deal. To me, it just seems they serve no logical purpose unless you are looking to kill multiple people in a short span of time after walking into a building. To me, the logic behind it being allowed to own one is the same logic as me being able to own an RPG just because I think its cool and I like to blow up drums on my private field.

I can appreciate this point of view. Well reasoned and thought out- refreshing compared to all of the people just regurgitating what so called journalists are saying.

Most of the reason to own an assault rifle for most people is the cool factor. They are practical for some people however- my friends who take their boats offshore or to the Bahamas like to have them to scare off pirates for example. I own a few guns but no semi-auto rifles because its not practical for me personally.

My main problem with whatever new law is coming is that it's using the tragedy to advance a politicial agenda. Before Newtown, support for banning so called assault weapons was below 50% and now it is just barely over. Ill oppose this reckless legislation on principle and urge everyone else to do the same.

Im actually from the Bahamas so the pirate part actually gave me a chuckle

I know what you mean though. Ive been on and off in the commercial fishing industry for years now and out at sea is a different animal from dry land as far as security goes. No cops. No alarms. No dogs. Miles away from land. Definitely almost necessary to have a gun if your actually anchoring out at sea far away from dry land for the night.

I just remembered that the first boat I ever worked on one summer back when I was still in HS had an AR-15 or something similar in the pilot house. They told me they actually used it once. Some big messy situation that started with an argument over a lobster condo and came to the other dudes pointing a gun at the guys on the boat I worked on. That did not end well for them. I swear to god, our boat has more guns than your typical village in Afghanistan. Insane. They ended up sinking the other big craft after it came to try bail out their people who did the hold up. All parties ended up in court for various things. Apparently kidnapping is frowned upon but at the same time shooting up a boat so bad it sinks is also illegal lol.

But yeah, I definitely wouldnt like being out at sea for 3 or 4 weeks in the middle of nowhere with no guns. And Im someone that would never own a gun on land for safety reasons.
