> I also didn’t realize it was legal for people in the US to carry loaded firearms in their everyday life. I thought that concealed carry had to be unloaded. That’s just…why. If you drop it, there could be a misfire.
Only if it’s a gun with a major design flaw. You’re not going to believe this but gun manufacturers actually test their products for basic mishap.
>If it’s exposed to any weather, there could be a misfire!
I have never, ever heard of a gun misfiring because of the weather. >Unless you count stoppages firing in very cold temperatures<. But “any weather”? Where are you getting this from?
>Safeties fail all the time!?
They don’t. Literally by design. Unless the manufacturer wants to get sued into next week.
>Ammunition fails, too!?
You think ammunition is just constantly cooking itself off?
Do you think nobody would’ve addressed that at some point in the past few centuries?
Armed police officers regularly carry loaded guns. And not just Americans, cops in Europe and my country as well. Most reports of accidental injury are due to user error, AFAIK.
>I would never carry a loaded gun, let alone one loaded with an entire magazine of 5+ bullets.
Who cares? You’re manifestly an imbecile making crap up.
>Can you imagine having your loaded gun stolen off your person? Or catching the trigger on something?
Guns are almost always carried in holsters, which makes it extremely unlikely that something will get inside the trigger guard and trigger the weapon. Many also make it difficult to remove the firearm.
Gun owners strongly advocate awareness of one’s surroundings. Moreover, standard carry guns are usually handguns, and either concealed carry - so few criminals should even notice it’s there - or open carry - which means criminals are unlikely to try and steal it unless they’re suicidal.
Also, I like how you find information that contradicts your prejudices, but instead of looking for more info, you assume an entire country is completely wrong about gun safety.
And seem to think a criminal will just stop and let someone load a weapon in a violent situation. You literally give not a single crap about the life and limb of the people concealed carry is intended to protect, out of sheer hoplophobia.
> Also like…no legal responsibility for a gun owner to keep their guns from being stolen??? Or to keep them away from minors????? TO STORE THEIR AMMUNITION IN A SAFE LOCKED CONTAINER FAR FROM THEIR WEAPONS?????? TO STORE THEIR GUNS WITH TRIGGER LOCKS???????????????????????????????????????
So if someone steals my car, I should get in trouble? How about knives? How about swords? Heck, a spoon is a murder weapon. Sometimes a slow one.
You’d end up creating a “chilling effect” on gun ownership unless owners can also afford “proper” security. Whatever arbitrary levels local or federal officials set it at. Sure, that sounds like a great idea.
If a kid gets a gun and uses it without the parents’ permission, that’s probably negligence, and lands parents in jail. However, many parents train their kids with small, low power guns, under supervision, much like parents teach their kids how to use cooking knives. One doesn’t magically become competent with guns at age 18.
There is literally no point in keeping ammo separate from the weapon. For one thing, it means that if you wake up in the middle of the night with a crackhead coming through your window, you’re screwed. I’ve never understood why you imbeciles think this is in any way a good idea. Same with trigger locks. Can’t find the key or even see the combination in the dark? Hope you have your will up to date. At least with a gun safe, you’ll probably be able to use it by touch.
The only possible benefit for storing guns and ammo separately is that it might make things slightly harder for a criminal who steals the gun from the home, which, according to your stupid criteria, is supposed to be secured anyway. It’s entirely redundant. And if you’re, say, a mass shooter, you don’t care. Do you really think there’s any significant amount of people who just decide to shoot folks on impulse, but walking across their house will cool them down?
I’ve also heard someone say it’s to keep kids away. Except, in Canada, guns are supposed to be securely stored or locked at the very least. If a kid can get into that, what’s to keep them from getting to the ammo?
All your foaming-at-the-mouth hysteria really does is make things harder for legal owners, possibly to the point of endangering their lives.
You’re just blindly assuming Canada’s gun storage policies are better, without actually thinking about whether they help.
Or you would be, if keeping ammo secured in a separate room wasn’t one of Japan’s stupid gun regs, not Canada’s. You actually want higher standards than your country has.
> I just thought the States let anyone purchase a gun and that it didn’t put m a n y roadblocks in the way of purchasing weapons that are prohibited here. I didn’t realize that it went further than that. My father can’t actually tell me what his trigger lock combination is since my full license hasn’t arrived in the mail yet - that’s how strict laws are here around handguns. So uh…yeah…I wasn’t prepared for that info about the States.
Somehow, I suspect we haven’t even begun to plumb the depths of your ignorance. For example, the fact that most US gun crime isn’t with legal guns - so a registry wouldn’t help - and there’s only about 11K murders compared to well over 100 million legal guns.
But since I know >you already blocked someone for disagreement<, I’m just going to screencap your idiocy.
Also, use proper punctuation and grammar. You’ll look slightly less like a moron. I mean, relatively speaking.

You’re being remarkably smug for someone who just admitted they didn’t know one of the most basic facts about American gun laws.
Also, how do you think this works? You think centuries of technological development has somehow made guns less safe, or kept them at the same level of safety? Do you think a Brown Bess is the same as a Browning BAR? For Pete’s sake, cowboys had to keep a chamber empty to avoid a misfire. That’s how unreliable guns were just a hundred years and change ago. But it’s not a problem today.
Also, isn’t it a tad hypocritical to go “it’s wrong to comment on other countres’ gun safety laws” when you’re a Canadian commenting on America’s? No, I don’t care what rationale you use, especially since >most of Canada’s smuggled guns are smuggled in by Canadians<. And >most criminal guns in BC are apparently Canadian<.
Speaking of which, gun sellers aren’t actually required to track sales in the Great North, despite Anon’s talk of a registry. Heck, you’re apparently only required to register certain firearms.
If it wasn’t for the blocking, I’d lean toward troll.
I would like to personally thank purgatoryandme for literally one of the funniest posts I have seen in a good while.
I really needed that good laugh from gems like “If it’s exposed to any weather, there could be a misfire!”
I would suggest they shut up on this topic for their own ability to possibly save any sort of respect from anyone, but this crap is too funny, so please do go on.
Oh yeah, it gets hot in Texas, there’s guns going off by themselves fucking everywhere, dude. First drop of rain, it’s like the freaking fourth of July. Why you can’t ride anywhere on your horsey without walking past a straight line of guns just firing everywhere from the slightest changes in atmosphere.
