i think as long as you don't do weed & or hit women, Dunbar will be ok...
Um..yeah....Maybe Pete & John should be looking in Church groups or Monastery's for their players? :rofl:Sgt.

One thing I do know. It seems that the original story provided to the public is not consistent or clear about his involvement.
Well he was definitely dumb for being at a party with guns and all the other nonsense that was going on. So I don't need to wait for any evidence to call Dunbar dumb, or stupid for being in a place he shouldn't have.
All the legal/witness facts? Yes, I shall wait for that before passing full judgement. But for being at that party? No, he was dumb. Case closed on that.

TAB420":18d93fo6 said:"Because that's what happens when you go to parties where there's guns and gambling. Dumb things." I have been playing poker for 20 years. I have carried(as well as other there) to every game I went to. There has never been a situation where a gun is pulled, or even shown. I will hold my opinion on Dunbar being dumb, until I know the facts. I don't however feel (just my opinion) that showing up to a poker game armed legally, makes you stupid.

I'm pretty sure it does. Gambling in and of itself is pretty stupid. And if you are playing poker with people unsavory enough that you feel the need to pack heat, that further sullies your judgement.
If stupidity is determined by risk:reward ratios, going to a poker game locked and loaded is pretty high risk with low chance of reward. Especially if you throw some alcohol into the mix.
The smartest people maximize low risk/high reward opportunities. Most average people live in the low risk/ low reward world. And the crazies and stupids work on the high risk/ high reward or high risk/ low reward side of the ratios.
I carry every day, but would never do so at a party with gambling and drinking, and I don’t accept any responsible gun owner would. If you accept the responsibility of carrying you accept that a situation which might be otherwise a fistfight turns lethal. Carry at a party with alcohol and you’re absolutely being irresponsible at the least. If you are dumb enough to do that your responsibility in the event of a conflict is to sprint away from it at best speed.TAB420":2dw1nqdv said:Mad Dog":2dw1nqdv said:TAB420":2dw1nqdv said:"Because that's what happens when you go to parties where there's guns and gambling.

I live in a open carry state that see's very little gun violence although everyone carries. To suggest that he was carrying because he was around unsavory people, is an assumption. Dude had his concealed permit and his gun was legally registered. That tells me that he didn't go into this thinking he was going to use his gun in a criminal manner, he could have easy bought a throwaway if that was the case. My opinion when it comes to my personal carry is this. Better to have and not need, than to need and not have, just my opinion.
I could careless what anyone thinks or what anyone's humble opinion is. But, I also will not call other's irresponsible because their beliefs are different than mine. At the end of the day the choices I make are on me and I choose to carry everywhere. I don't let the situation or the people dictate my ability to protect myself or my family. That being said, if you can't control yourself around alcohol or shady people (which sounds like your case) then don't carry. I was a peace officer for many years so I'm sure I look at things a little different than most.hawk45":1dxyqrsl said:I carry every day, but would never do so at a party with gambling and drinking, and I don’t accept any responsible gun owner would.

Carrying should be treated as a privilege, and one should go far out of their way to not let others bear any risks because of it, lest it be revoked by citizens who rightly question whether that privilege should exist at all if gun owners can’t be trusted to act with utmost discipline.
Just my humble opinion. Firearms and alcohol are not acceptable.
I don't drink so I never carry drunk or high. I care more about protecting my family than making other's feel nervous, although, no one see's that i'm carrying. I live in an open carry state (no one get's nervous). And lastly, carrying (in my opinion, and the constitution) is a right, not a privilege.ivotuk":2l9hghqw said:I've been a hunter and guide all of my life. My biggest issue was always some client that thought they need a 44 Magnum. My little .243 Winchester has 4 times the muzzle velocity, and 3 times the muzzle energy of a 44 Magnum. So if you're looking for protection in the woods, carry a short barrelled rifle.
If you're bow hunting and need a back up weapon, carry a .454. Casull. That's what I used on my Kodiak hunt.
But if you're carrying in public, you also carry the responsibility of not making the average citizen nervous, and the responsibility to other's who have a CCW to not make life difficult on us by stirring $h!t up.
Carrying a gun should be viewed as a privilege, only allowed after training on how to be safe around one. Too many innocent family members get injured or killed by ignorant gun owners. Do any of you want that to reflect on your ability to carry?
I don't.
I view carrying to a party with alcohol as a dangerous decision. Nobody makes good decisions when they are drinking or high. Which is why we don't allow them to operate the ultimate weapon while drunk or high, the automobile. Look at how many innocent people that thing has killed.
As to these guys, I can't really be judgemental either direction as we don't have all the facts yet, but I think it was a poor decision.
