Hypothetical CCW Question?

[mjblazor]

If God came down to you and said "you will never ever need a gun for any reason to protect your life or anyone around you", what gun would you CCW?

I guess one of the ones I currently own...boring, I know.

LOL WUT

Isn't that like asking what medicines you would stock if you knew that you and your family would never be sick again?

I don't get it. Why would you carry something that you would never need, and what would you need a CCW handgun for other than to defend yourself or family?

 

[chezuki]

I would ask him why he designed the Hi-Power with that silly mag-out safety, then continue to carry my M&P.

 

[kawtech87]

Id still carry my Springfield 1911.

Just because I dont need it doesnt mean I wont carry it.

Isnt that the LTCH holders prayer anyway?

Have it, but pray we dont need it.

 

[Irishshooter]

If I won't need it, then I won't carry it, but I still would enjoy some range time.

Probably that H&K I've been wanting. And I'd still open carry.

And I'd pick up a few good knives, pepper spray, and another shotgun or two. Sounds like a trick....

I agree, my father always told me ; Son, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true.

I would carry a glock because it is easiest for me to give to the other person who will need it to save me or another.

God can be tricky - the specifics are that "I" won't need it, but there is plenty of room there that the guy standing next to me is gonna need it real bad!

Whichever one HE carries.

Really, like medicine? Are you a drug addict? Many of us are so called "gun collectors" and might ccw a gun just because we can have one of our collection with us? I am fortunate to live a lifestyle that while not impossible its highly unikely I will ever need a gun (Thank God). But that doesn't mean I don't like to take one of my collection along with me for the ride. Albeit, i practice in case I do need it, cuz its not 100% I wont. The point is, if you didn't ever need a gun and would have one anyway, which would it be (maybe I used wrong "hypothetical analysis).

Where would you get drug addict from that? He is saying that he wouldn't keep medicine around if it was guaranteed that he would never need it. Most people carry because there is always a chance that you could need the gun. It is unlikely that anyone here would need to have the gun in reality, but as we know all it takes is one time.

I wouldn't carry a gun then. I don't carry a gun "for fun," and I'm not a collector. If I didn't need to protect myself or loved ones, then I wouldn't carry a gun.

I see your logic there. Equating medicine and sickness with CCW and defense means I'm a drug addict. Does equating car insurance with driving mean that I'm on the NASCAR circuit?

If you are asking what gun would I carry just for fun with no tactical purpose whatsoever, that's easy, anything from this page:

multibarrelpistols

Any of those would great conversation starters.

I would ask to borrow his Glock and ask for forgiveness for all my sins.

Its common knowledge, That God gave John Moses Browning the blue prints to the 1911 in a dream one night and told him to build the most popular pistol of all time, a pistol that would endure the ages and last for centuries. Its already made it through one century. Its also belived the idea was also given by god to Leonardo Divinci but could not be build in his time like most of his inventions, Because they were so ahead of his time.

How long has Glock been around? 30 years or so?

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

I have a feeling that if God spoke to me directly about carrying a handgun, I would take his advice and carry a Wilson Combat 1911.

That or an M1A. God loves the M1A.

 

[SERparacord]

INFIDELS!!!! I'll still strap C4 to my body.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I wouldn't carry. The reason I carry is to protect myself and those around me. If I had divine assurance I would never have to, why would I? On a side note, God probably has better things to do than to provide me with such assurances, so in the mean time I will continue to carry two.

Collecting things doesn't equate to carrying them. If you collected beer steins, would you have to have one with you all the time?
