Check Fox News for Coverage. Man shot below rib cage, at hospital, pulled through operation as the bullet was recovered. He is stable, concious, in critical condition.
Shooter is armed and at large in the woods. He called a friend after the shooting and mentioned that he just slit his wrist in the woods.

Apparently he does. It was the local HS Football coach who was shot. The shooter had an incident with the coach in 2003 and was banned from school grounds, a restraining order was in effect.

In Canada, this kind of madness could not happen.
No guns in circulation.
Just a tought.
No guns in circulation - funny. You mean only the criminals have guns in circulation.
The harm caused by trying to restrict guns, in terms of leaving innocents defenseless against criminals, is far greater than the harm caused by allowing law abiding citizens to have guns. Canadians will get the high crime rate of England and Wales in the future, where only criminals have guns.

I go with the facts and realistic interpretation of same, and not with emotion.
Your emotional thinking is "guns = bad".
My realistic thinking is "guns = good" when law abidding citizens have them and "guns = bad" only in the hands of criminals. Gun control reduces the good guns far, far more than it reduces the bad guns, and this results in more bad than good.
BTW: The last time I was in Montreal I was robbed while sleeping in a hotel. The robbers used a hotel key and did it while I was asleep, leaving quickly on my waking up - they ran down the hall and got away. Obviously they got the key from a hotel employee, but the police could do nothing.
If it happened here, I would have had my gun and shot them, hopefully killing them.
Now tell me how awful that would have been for me to do such a thing!

Art, how do you tell a criminal from a "law abiding citizen" if the criminal has yet to commit a crime?

This being said, he robbed you of what? What is worth killing for, $50.00, $100.00....?
By the way, you didn't answered my question.....about the referee.
Art: What referee? I stated in answering, "Every law abiding citizen in the USA should have the right to carry a concealed gun."
I wouldn't assess my loss before killing someone who robbed me, and wouldn't kill if I could capture with no harm to me or my family or other innocents. In the Montreal situation, anyone entering my room without announcement, and then caught by me running away, would be shot as they ran without stopping when ordered.
The robber likely has robbed many people without ever being caught. In killing a robber you make them pay for past thefts and for all future thefts accomplished by them. You also set a deterence example for other robbers.
If there were enough armed people like me crime would be no problem after a while.
Watch your crime increase after your gun control really takes hold with future confiscation of guns, as in Britian.
I support thr right to arm bears!

Art save your breath and your time gun-control advocates will never learn until it is too late. I just wanna be there at that time. I had a friend move from here to Canada in 64 he moved back here about two years ago because of the gun-control going on up there.

"Who is a criminal that has yet to commit a crime, or where no evidence exists that they plan to commit a crime?"
Then under your "guns for everybody" system, all of these future criminals will have guns to get it done with. And a gun wont protect you when they shoot you in the back from behind the bushes... you'll be dead, and it will be too late...

Yes, some law abidding citizens will get guns and later turn out to be criminals. Innocent until proven giuilty. Gun control assumes everyone is a criminal - guilty before being proved so. I believe that most people who have never committed a crime are not criminals where you believe they are.
There are so many situations where if people had concealed guns, such as on the planes on 9/11, that terrible tragedy could have been prevented.

Messin' with a snappin turtle ain't the way to go. LOL. They sure are nasty. Guns are good for the sportsman, guns are good for the free. Is this a free country still?
