Anyone found to be carrying a chambered weapon without a VERY good reason should be fined and have their license suspended, subject to re-testing. Ditto anyone doing something stupid like pointing a weapon at a living being.

Competancy tests should be retaken every six months, failure to comply should automatically result in suspension of license. Seperate licenses should be issued for every weapon.

As to your own incident, Lemur, I've had a rifle in my back (which REALLY upset me), in your situation I'd be tempted to pistol whip him, except the idiot might have it loaded.
Why?

I'm serious.

Show me evidence that this would be a good thing.

Obviously, it's a massive restriction to gun ownership. And not because people are incompetent; because people don't like to jump through millions of hoops.

Furthermore, it's been pointed out again and again statistically that civilians are not that much of a liability with firearms.

I made the point about car accidents. You brushed it off because cars aren't "meant" to kill.

Yet they kill more people than guns do! 43,300

And since they're not made for it, nor can they be used for self-defence, I'd say that cars are even WORSE for it!
