Consequences of using a gun

So you are carrying a gun. Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit is a serious crime. If you seriously need to carry a gun go through the process and do it legally. If you are carrying illegally ask yourself why. If you are carrying for self defense maybe you need to examine your lifestyle and the places you frequent. Pulling a gun after loosing an argument or a game is not self defense. If you have criminal intent you are headed for a lifetime of trouble. Let's examine some of the misconceptions and the consequences. What does it mean to threaten someone with a gun? You are implying that if you don't get what you want you will kill to get it. Are you really going to kill someone for a few dollars gain? What if they don't comply? Will you kill to cover up your crime? At this point society will have no more use for you and you will feel the full force of the law. Your victim should have the right to use deadly force to defend his self. Pull out a gun and people will do what you want. Guns solve any problem you think. Again, if you don't get what you want are you ready to kill. Your gun says so. Do you think you can walk away free after you get your way? Brandishing a firearm is a serious crime. Using a firearm in the commission of a crime is a separate felony offence. Cock the hammer, walk around with your finger on the trigger. You can't do that! That weapon is ready to kill with a slight squeeze of the trigger. It was an accident. You only meant to scare your victim. You didn't mean to kill anyone. The law will show no mercy. What if you are confronted by police? If you even act as if you are reaching for a weapon the police will shoot. In a standoff police will not ask you to drop your weapon. An officer looking down the barrel of a gun will shoot to kill. Do you think they will let you shoot first? It is not like in the movies. There is no safe way to shoot someone. Vital organs are pierced, bones are shattered and cause other damage, internal bleeding. A nicked artery causes rapid loss of blood. Just touch the spine and your victim is paralyzed. Don't expect him to be walking around in the next scene. Just leave the body. Someone else will clean it up. You will be pursued, most likely caught. The victim's family and friends will suffer for life. Your family will suffer after your arrest and because of your crime. Injured victims will never be the same. We cry gun control. What we need is a national dialog on the consequences of using a gun. Movies and tv have us lured into thinking that guns solve any problem, that you get what you want, that you walk away from murder. Talk to your friends and family. If you know someone carrying a gun ask them why, convince them it's a bad idea. Talk about it in school and other places. Do we really not understand this? If you use a gun your life is ruined!
