[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] The pizza delivery person in question was my younger brother. To clarify: I told the story of his successfully using the simple display (not even unholstering) of his weapon to discourage two potential criminals, during a delivery run to a particularly crime-ridden area. I used this as a single, personally-known example of the more than 2 million times that the display or use of firearms is successful in prefenting and/or stopping crimes each year, as reported by the FBI. His pizza store did not ban the carrying of firearms by delivery people. As to the idea that a criminal is somehow MORE likely to attack and kill a visibly armed person than an unarmed one... I'd have to swallow a lot of orange pills before I'd beleive THAT concept was remotely logical. TV may teach you that, but TV is full of crap, too. >""If someone breaks into your house, you should make your family jump out the window until he leaves." "Just let him HAVE the money. Don't take any precautions that he won't kill you when he's done."" I'm sorry, but that IS stupidity. Therefore, while you may not yourself BE stupid, and nobody called you so, if you hold this belief, then you do indeed believe a stupid thing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
