Lol i was in the lift at work, me and a few others including the treasurer. The treasurer went to get off at his floor and an impatient woman pressed the "close the door" button and it closed on the treasurer as he walked out, tripping him up and making him fall over. Did lol.

Everyone loves it when a treasurer falls over.

Happened at my local footy club once.

By golly we all laughed.

Sometimes at reunions we talk about the day the treasurer fell over.

We laugh all over again.

Good times.

If the treasurer did that to the woman it's an entirely different conversation

"Hughes, a supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump" ........

That destroys any credibility he may have had.

He lives in California, a state that allows the carrying of concealed guns, and advocates that having civilian's armed at all time will prevent terrorist attacks. How'd that work in San Bernardino CA?

"I don’t go anywhere in America without a gun anymore" I'm sure law enforcement in a number of US states will keep that in mind when next the band tours because not all states honour other states concealed carry permits and some states will only issue permits to residents.

This moronic viewpoint that if this happened in America, would have been less tragic and less deadly, as some Paul Kersey in the crowd would have quick drawn his .44 he purchased with his bread and milk yesterday afternoon and mowed down the terrorists before they could take more lives... has it ever happened? Has anybody, any innocent bystander with a gun, ever stopped or prevented a madman from going on a rampage?

I'm just over this line of hypothetical thinking that the yanks always cry out, because I'm not aware of anytime it has actually happened.

How'd having guns at concerts work out for Dimebag? No disrespect intended.

None taken. Good example.

Did any good Samaritans packing heat step up and prevent this? (Rhetorical)

 

[Doctor Feel]

The treasurer had no idea who pushed the button too, as the lift closed as he stacked it and we continued on our way. The lady goes "oh god. That was the treasurer"

He could play the guitar very well Daryl. RIP.

Well, we wouldn't know they prevented a rampage if they did, would we? We don't know what would have happened if certain bad guys were not taken down. In any case, plenty of examples of armed men taking down bad guys that potentially could have caused more harm: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-using-concealed-handgun-to-save-womans-life/

 

[El_Scorcho]

Yeah the whole gun toting bystander saving the day thing just hasn't happened. And there are mass shootings all the time

 

[El_Scorcho]

Even if the gun toting bystander thing was a positive way to stop mass shootings, it doesn't stop any of the shootings that probably just would have been a fistfight if America wasn't so gun happy, or the shootings where a toddler finds daddy's gun and shoots a sibling

Just wiki'd that.

The couple had a total of 1,600 rounds (1,400 for the rifles and 200 for the handguns) with them at the time of the shootout.

SIXTEEN HUNDRED BULLETS!
**** me.

The gun problem isn't the biggest problem in America, the bullet problem is.

Good example from the opposite, but the bloke brought a gun to a knife fight. Not the same kinda thing.

..... At the heavy metal concert, 25-year-old Nathan Gale killed four people, including Abbott, before a Columbus policeman shot and killed Gale.

Nearly 300 witness interviews released in 2005 showed people were confused about the sequence of the shootings at the Alrosa Villa nightclub. ...

Imagine the death toll if those 300 "confused" witnesses had all drawn their pistols and fired at Nathan Gale.

Well, there's thousands of examples of 'bad guy brings gun to a gun fight, shot by good guy' too, e.g. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...wn-gunman-in-canadian-parliament-9811885.html

He was a security guard doing his job. Respect his bravery and skill but not what I meant. Disqualified.

 

[edgie]

Yeah was thinking of that clip as I read it.

 

[Dylan8]

There's thousands of examples.

Here's two that I've scraped from an already empty barrel.

Of course, hypothetically, there have been occasions where a bad guy has chosen not to go on a massacre because of the gun-toting locals; Also occasions where a massacre has occurred due to the bad guys seeing a "soft target". Paris for example.
