Unconstitutional New Illinois Anti-Gun Law

I don't think God is going to help those who have guns more than those who don't believe in owning guns. The examples you gave are not being smart.

It is all the same thing. God gives us tools whereby to take care of ourselves. Turning them away is not smart.

Sorry but I don't believe in owning guns and that is that

I will not try to convince you to do otherwise.

I though will not stand idly by and watch someone who has a gun hurt or kill others. To do so would be to have the blood of those innocents on my hands also. Nor would it be smart to try to stop them without having at least the same as they. It would only end up with both the intended victim and myself being killed.

Neither will I. But we have a weapon stronger than a gun.

Thats fine David, we don't always agree. Even us mods disagree at times, over certain topics.

Shopper pulls gun, stops robbery cold
Held suspect at grocery store until police officers arrived

A grocery store customer in Indianapolis is being credited with halting an armed robbery by pulling his own weapon and pointing it at the assailant until police arrived.

According to a report in the Indianapolis Star, Charlie Merrell, 51, was in a checkout line at a grocery store called Bucks IGA on the city's south side when a "masked man jumped a nearby counter and held a gun on a store employee."

The police report cited by the newspaper said the incident happened at 5:17 in the afternoon Monday as Merrell was doing some year-end shopping.

"While the suspect was demanding cash from the workers," according to the police report, "Merrell pulled his own handgun, pointed it at the robber and ordered him to put down his weapon."

The newspaper noted that Officer Jason Bockting, in his documentation of the incident, said when the suspect seemed to hesitate, "Merrell racked the slide on his gun to load a round in the chamber."

At that point, the report said, "the suspect placed his gun and a bag of cash on the counter, dropping some of the money … the suspect removed his mask and lay on the floor."

Merrill, meanwhile, held the suspect at gunpoint until officers arrived and took him away in handcuffs.

Police reported Merrell had a valid permit to carry the handgun, and they recovered an unloaded .380-caliber handgun and $779 cash from the suspect.

Police records show Dwain Smith, 19, was being held in the Marion County Jail on a bond of $30,000 on initial charges of robbery, criminal confinement, pointing a firearm, battery and carrying a handgun without a license.
