Thread: Yet another shooting incident in the states

If you want CCW, my suggestion is you go live in the USA or in South Africa for a couple of years. See how you like it...

The incidence of violent crime here is so low that it is almost a non-issue

I really like the fact that the average front-line police officer here does not walk around with a pistol. Having one available in the boot of the car is great, but pistols are not seen as the first (or only) option. Escalation works both ways, seriously, think about it calmly for a couple of minutes

And honestly, any talk of CCW or firearms for self-defense purposes in NZ is a complete pipe dream. Given the political climate here, you are delusional if you think the majority of the population will ever go for it.
