I still have enough confidence in the law enforcement and courts to be able to determine if someone is out joyshooting or actually defending themselves. as far as 1 shot vs. all....I'm a former US marine, If I'm forced to shoot someone in defense, believe me, they are getting more than one bullet. Hell, even police are trained to fire more than once for protection.

I didn't see it as a joke, but ok, i'll look at it like that. As I said before, there are stupid people out there and those that try to take advantage of this law as a loophole are going to find themselves in a hell of a legal mess.

What's that?
OOOO you gun advocates don't want EVERYONE to be allowed to carry a gun. I see how very fair and interested in everyone's rights you are.

I have no wish to see the whole populace armed. There are people that do not have the intelligence or responsibility to deal with owning a gun. Our current handgun laws deal could deal with this effectively enough if they would actually be enforced correctly.
