Pees in the brown Koolaid
....Anyone going to work as a driver at UPS that is carrying a handgun while on the job is a catastrophe waiting to happen. I believe that strongly.
I dare say the problem with most people either wishing to carry or who do carry a handgun is the concept of progression - a handgun should leave its' holster only if someone will die / be extremely hurt if it is not. The problem, and I would say the majority of the time, is that handgun owners pull their gun out when they see people on the street, 20 feet away, that they don't like the looks of....
A good example is when I was back in High school. Fistfights. You had a beef, you beat each other up, one person won. Now adays people just point & shoot....
I challenge anyone to even MAKE UP a scenario where a handgun is needed while driving a package car, let alone cite a real example.
And by the way, I have had a carry permit for 9 years - newest piece is a G36
Please document the assertion that lisenced concealed permit holders typically "pull their gun out when they see people on the street 20 feet away that they dont like the looks of" In my 12 years of carrying concealed I have yet to draw my gun or even get into a verbal argument with anyone while carrying it.
The types of people who "just point and shoot" are the reson that I have a carry permit in the first place. Contrary to popular liberal belief, being helpless and unarmed does not make one safer.
One thing about your post i dont understand....you claim to have a permit and to carry a Glock 36, yet at the same time you assert that there would never be a scenario where a UPS driver on duty would want or need a weapon. Please explain what it is about being on duty in the brown truck that automatically protects the driver from all violent harm. Are you saying that guns would not be needed if everyone drove a UPS truck?
