Everyone Has a Story

How would that be that someone pulls a gun after doing all that because he if you read my post started the altercation , and did way more then he should have . If I had a gun that night I would have shot that guy I litteraly thought I was going to die .

Because when you carry a gun, you need to hold yourself to a higher standard for behavior, considering the outcome that can arise from pulling a gun. Like, don't respond in kind when someone flips you off. I used to. Now that I carry, I laugh quietly and move on. Hopefully, you will grow up, otherwise I see prison in your future.

Well, I grew up around guns (I owned 5 by the time I was 13) and will always have a safe full of them, but I was prompted to buy a defensive handgun while camping. My group of buddies was interrupted in the middle of the night by a bunch of drunk rednecks who thought it would be fun to fire off hundreds of rounds through their AK's and their handguns at 1am in the middle of nowhere. We tried to call the police but there is zero service in Hells Canyon, so we began packing up our camp to move to a safer location for the night. While packing, the drunks came over to our campsite (adjacent to theirs, and the only two sites in that area), guns drawn (one guy had his 6" revolver cocked and his finger in the trigger, and a beer in his other hand). I had my Remington 870 loaded with slugs sitting on the ground right next to me, but I didn't reach for it because I wouldn't be able to get it fast enough to get a shot off before he (the drunk) would. So we played nice, extra nice, and tried to get on their good side, but they were pissed because we were camped where they wanted to put their boat. So after an interesting and stressful conversation, they walked back to their site and we got the HELL OUT OF THERE. Slept with that shotgun in my hands all that night in my tent.
That happened when I was only 16. We were just kids, and even though we managed to talk our way out of the danger, we were cornered and had no way of reaching police. It was then I decided that I wanted to be able to have a weapon 'at-hand' where I could draw quickly if I needed too.
And for those who think that 16 years olds are incompetent with firearms, I could shoot a better than my dad when I was 10, fired my first 30-06 when I was 5. Education of and respect for firearms has made me a lifetime gun owner.
That's SOME of my story.

i know someone who had a pot and hash charge same bust and still got their ccwp in florida........another friend of mine has a domestic violence on his record and they denied him. not sure what the whole story is but listening to his side it wasn't like he was being violent but rather standing his own ground but both were charged......

We had one denial recently whereby a guy was refused because he was arrested on simple assault for smacking his wise-ass son in the mouth. The kid called the police and away he went. He eventually plead guilty to a violation, which is not a crime. The arrest and plea was enough that Westchester County sent him a letter indicating he lacked proper temperment for handgun licensing.

whilst i don't advocate hitting children even wise assed ones......that incident shouldn't have been held against him as to deny him his right to carry imo he should fight it as cops abuse civilians all the time and they don't get their guns taken away

It's my story and might not belong in this thread and I don't care

A few years back our local drunk was DRUNK no surprise. He was yelling and screaming I told him to get out and stay out of my yard. He knows I have a few guns and started to scream, OR WHAT ARE YOU GOiNG TO SHOOT ME. I told him in a very calm tone, No Robert you are not worth the cost of a good bullet. He was so pissed off started screaming you can't talk to me that way and to this day he remembers those few words. IMO it was a fun day in the hood.

They day that kid turned 18 he'd have joined the Army or hit the road had it been my house
