On a revolver, that empty cylinder puts you at a disadvantage. You put yourself at a disadvantage both in terms of how many rounds are available and how many steps you then have to take to get your gun into a ready to fire situation. An accidental discharge on a revolver is difficult to do. The double action pull is somewhere around 11 pounds. Unless you're carrying it in a shit holster or no holster at all, it would be monumentally difficult to get the gun to discharge without you having a finger on the trigger.

I'm not knocking pocket carry, but if this idiot did indeed have the gun in his pocket and it discharged, it sounds like he was fucking with it, or it wasn't in a holster and something in his pocket snagged the trigger. He's a fucking dolt. Even in a pocket, your gun should be holstered, if for no other reason than to protect the trigger.

That guy was an idiot.

And no, we can't have that right infringed upon. EVER.

There are plenty of responsible people you come into contact with every day who carry concealed and you never know it. That's how it should be.

I respect your opinion but I disagree...I don't see how adding more guns to an already over saturated population helps. Particularly when I look around and don't see ANY well regulated militias providing security for a free State as the right is prefaced in the Second Amendment.

Check the stats homie... gun control legislation increases violent crime rates... State by state here in the US, overseas in England, Australia, etc...

As far as the second amendment is concerned....

And my basic stance on the issue:

that's because as it stands right now millions of people legally own guns. want to find out how much they keep your state safe take away the guns that are legally owned. you will quickly find out that when only criminals own guns then criminals will control your state.

Point of clarification....

Individuals with guns in their own home applying the "king of their castle" defense? Game on.

Individuals with guns in public places? Not a fan.

I agree with you on theory only... The truth is, banning guns anywhere only bans guns for law-abiding citizens... By definition and nature, criminals disregard these laws so the only thing anti-gun anything does is leave everyone who obeys the law at the mercy of anyone who doesn't.
