Jamaica's Bloody Lesson On Guns
..."Jamaica wasn't always the extremely violent country that it is today (see the figure here). Jamaica experienced large increases in murder rates since enacting a handgun bans in 1974. Since the gun ban, Jamaica’s murder rate has soared to become one of the highest in the world, currently at least double that of other Caribbean countries. Jamaica’s murder rate hasn’t sunk below 10 murders per 100,000 people since the gun ban went into effect."...

I am encouraged by the posters here. Glad to see such a spirited defense of the 2nd amendment.

why is it any concern to you when, why, or for what reason anybody wants to carry a firearm? peronally I carry a pistol just because I can and so people like you question me.
now that my rant is over I feel this thread is getting very off topic. and I am guilty of it too.

You go and kick some **** 80 year old dude!!!
An 80-year-old Chicago man shot and killed an armed man who broke into his two-story house in a pre-dawn home invasion Wednesday on the city's West Side. At about 5:20 a.m., the homeowner and his wife, also in her 80s, discovered the intruder entering their home through a back door. The homeowner, who had a gun, confronted and killed the burglar on the doorstep, police said. Cops said the intruder also fired his gun during the struggle.
"It's a good thing they had a gun, or they might be dead," said Curtis Thompson, who lives next door to the couple, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Neighbors described the elderly couple, who both walk with canes, as pillars of the community in Garfield Park, where home invasions have been all too frequent.
Their neighbor, Shaquite Johnson, told MyFoxChicago that the two are "heroes" for fighting off the attacker — and that the shooting means there is "one less criminal" walking the streets.
"They don't bother no one, so why would anyone do that to them?" she said.
Relatives of the couple told the Sun Times that the man is an Army veteran, his wife a former nurse. Police said neither the man nor the woman was injured in the attack.
The assailant, who was described by police as being in his 30s, was found slumped on the back doorstep of the couple's house, removed four hours after the shooting, the Sun Times reported.
No charges have been filed against the homeowner, but Chicago currently has a statute outlawing the possession of handguns. Its legality is currently being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
A high-profile Chicago attorney has already stepped forward offering to represent the man pro bono if he faces charges for possessing a weapon.
"Self-defense isn't just a right, it's a duty," said attorney Joel Brodsky. "If this man is prosecuted for saving his own life it's not just a travesty, it's justice turned inside out."

Now I think certain people around here would try and talk the armed intruder out of shooting him and his wife, think that might work or do you think the armed intruder would kill you so there are no witnesses??? Hmmm, now really think about that...

The Blackhawk Serpa holsters have an attachment that was originally designed to alter your carry for different mission postures. This attachment may be vehicle mounted which will allow you to remove the weapon from your side while leavin the paddle or belt loop in place and then securing the weapon to a door or center console and still retain the weapon in the serpa holster.
