Dude came in from out of town to commit an armed robbery on a gun store where he killed three people. It's not like some argument on the range escalated into a mass shooting.

It seems to me a triple murder like that automatically disqualifies a place from being the friendliest on earth tho, especially when the context is 'an armed society is a polite society'.

But I'm sure there are better examples to find anyway. I'm not hating on gun ranges, just saying there are friendlier places for sure.

I agree that is an absolutely asinine statement.

'An armed society is a scared society' rings more true.

Its also kinda funny that it's often the same people who cry about fear being used to influence people and at the same time chirp on the positive influence of mutually assured destruction. Hmm.

have you ever regularly carried a firearm (openly or concealed) in public?

In the sense that I use my knife a lot more, I suppose that's a fair point

Yeah you prolly take a knife with ya into nature as a tool to do things n stuff. Makes sense. I do the same.

And people take a gun with em into the city as a tool when scary people come around in this totally 'polite' society. Makes sense as well.

You or others will prolly respond with "nah it's just being prepared". But if anything, that preparation is for scary situations. An armed society is a scared society.

Preparing for a scary situation is not the same as being actively scared.

I wear a seat belt to be prepared for an accident which is pretty damn scary if you’ve been in a decent one. But I’m not like, driving down the road feeling scared.

I know this may come as a shock to some but.....

The overwhelming majority of people here in the US have a gun all their lives and never kill another human being.
