Cal said:One thought I have on gun control is, why don't those that don't have guns simply identify themselves? That's all it would take. Put up a sign in front of your house: This residence is unarmed. Even a public list of all of the non gunowners in an area would suffice. The potential perps would know the residences that could be robbed, or rape commited within, where there would be little resistance or danger and ,therefore, lives could be protected and gun violence could be reduced all the way around. Now, are there any gun control advocates on here that will take the initiative to identify their property and person as being firearm free?

I am not for gun control but it is well known in this community that I don't keep hand guns or rifles I do have one old shotgun but not sure were it's at. I recently had to borrow a rifle to kill a few dogs.(223 I believe) however I have never been raped, robbed or had anythig stolen, at least I have'nt missed anything. and I make it real easy for them, cattle guards instead of locked gates, door on shop unlocked and proped open, keys in all vehicles. so maybe there's more to it other than being locked in your home cluching your weapons, (this being safe thingy)
There have been Canadian issues brought up here....the conversation end there...seriously most of you Americans no nothing at all about Canada so can't really debate :? Or more like it don't care enough to debate.aplusmnt said:nonothing I should rephrase what I said, I am more than willing to debate Canadian issues with you! Post away, all you have to do is hit that button new topics at the top of the page and throw some Canadian dirt on the table for us all to talk about.
I believe there is a number of Canadians on this site. Why no Canadian political issues? All Well in Canada, only bad in the Evil USA?

I would agree with you, Mrs.Greg. Probably a little (or a LOT) of both. But the "don't care enough" part is certainly true. Not sure if it's because of an imperial attitude that we have or an apathetic attitude that we have, but I think you're right.Mrs.Greg said:...seriously most of you Americans know nothing at all about Canada so can't really debate :?

Now...since nobody really cares, if we can stop talking about Canada and get on with something more important. :wink:
Frankk, I am so glad to find out that you haven't been raped :wink: . However, the area that you live probably has alot to do with your charmed life. Last year our combiners told us first hand of a couple that was murdered that pretty much fit your lifestyle description, and like you were at the mercy of an intruder. My wife was certified this Fall as a firearms instructor, and our son is really into hunting and firearms, and recently has taken an interest in archery since we bought him a hunting bow and accessories for Christmas. I guarantee you that we're not locked in our home clutching our weapons, but with all of the drug traffic and problems that accompany in our area we all feel good knowing that we are anything but sitting ducks. I would say that approximately, at least once a year there is some type of problem in our immediate area or near our home (like right outside) that we would not feel comfortable being unarmed; last time it was someone that was drugged up walked into the yard early in the morning, time before that one was pounding on the house in the middle of the night, time before that the cops showed up at our house late at night because they'd pulled a car over just down the road from us and one of the occupants was wanted, I believe, and fled on foot. Just need a yappy dog to let you know if someones around and the means to do something about it.Frankk said:Cal said:One thought I have on gun control is, why don't those that don't have guns simply identify themselves?
