Because you don't pull it out for no reason and 'play with it'. Same with Open Carry. IMHO

I've played with a Kukhuri in a hospital. Once.
And even managed to drop it onto the floor. d'oh.
There were four others in the room and nobody got excited.

In your words perhaps.
I'm not the one who resorts to making things personal first though.
Discuss ideas, not the people expressing those ideas and you may come off as a grownup yourself.

- Posting private messages anywhere on the forum is against forum rules.
Do us all a favor and be nice. A classic ploy in bullying is when bullying doesn't work for you is to start shouting the other guy is the bully. It is just another attempt by some people to stifle disagreement when they primarily have emotion to fall back on.
Mods. Please note I will not engage these two again. Please don't shut down the thread.

If you have any evidence that forum rules were broken, then bring on the MODS. I doubt you have any evidence, makes you a troll.
Will you apologize for being a troll, I doubt it.
All you do is sit at your key board, stir up trouble, refuse to debate but argue and abuse any one that disagrees with you. Your way is the way of a TROLL.
Your presence on this forum I think is why some people avoid this site.

So you self admit to trolling. But when called on your self admitted trolling persona, it's a "personal" attack?

Now, the states with no CCW/OCW Laws have crime rates that are 4-12 times what the CCW/OCW states are . (California Wash DC etc)

A comparison of Houston TX. and Chicago Il.
http://www.city-data.com/crime/crime-Houston-Texas.html
http://www.city-data.com/crime/crime...-Illinois.html
Houston had less murders and rapes, but far more robberies, burglaries, assaults, thefts...
not quiet the 4-12 margin you're describing.

disp**** and crook lover comments did not originate from me.
I wouldn't call what I'm doing trolling. Like I said, I'm playing devil's advocate to hone your approach to trying to convince the rest of the nation to accept the ccw or oc initiatives.
If you consider that without practice in a debate you would be less likely to succeed in convincing others of your position.
I'd also like to point out you're not discussing the ideas at all at this point and haven't for the last few posts. Instead you're engaging me in this petty quibbling. Who is trolling?
Now if I was trolling, I'd be asking about coming to look for wild mushroom on your place next spring

Some people avoid this site because whenever a discussion or debate gets good, those who feel like their opinion is threatened resort to name calling.

you see this issue boils down to two distinct and valid positions.
protecting yourself from harm and preventing others from needlessly harming others

See how easy that was to find a solution ....
You find a way to completely eliminate crime and guarantee me 100% that a side arm will Never be needed to be used as a possible tool in my defence...
I in return will conceed that I have no need to carry a sidearm and possibly endanger the public...
I can't agree with your comparison of Liberal vs Conservative policy though. While the conservatives have been pushing for a tougher on crime policy, the Liberals still favor a Hug a Thug so to speak approach ... Further more, when they finally realize that the Liberal red book has no magic cure for mental illness, or way to keep Criminals from being Criminals, they impose further restrictions on the law abiding section of society to make it appear that they are doing something.... Even if it accomplishes nothing...

Did you answer any of the questions I posed?
Didn't think so......
Just whined about being called a troll after you claimed to be a troll.
