Are you really suggesting that I "need to get out more?" Do you honestly believe that if I see criminal activity first hand it will make me a better person?
Situations in which someone might be called upon to stop a crime are dangerous, and this is precisely the reason why private citizens should be wary of getting involved. With so many cel phones in the hands of the public, I would think that a more prudent response to witnessing a crime would be to call the authorities.

Again...you are not reading what I am writing and turning and twisting what I have said. Why? I don't know.....but again typical CP posters.
When did I say that if you witnessed a crime...you are a better person???
God...read what I write would you.
So you are telling me you have never witnessed a crime? Hard to believe but what ever.
As for calling the authorities....your right, that is always the best option....and I never ever said that regular people should start acting like police officers....you made there weird jump. I said I would rather have an option to have access to a firearm if it was available rather than not having it when it may be needed.
