Is Mise,

I'm not bowing out. I'm being selective,
if only to retain that credibility.
I expect a certain standard.

Why do I make so many typos when giving
links?

I have eye problems.

Foxy,

Simply copy and paste, no typing required.

Salutations,

Stats show that a gun owner is most likely to shoot themselves first, followed by a family member second, then a stranger, with the burglar bring up the rear. Self inflicted gunshot wounds whether intentionally or accidentally is the most common result. Issy you didn't answer the question because you are embarrassed by the answer, no chocolates for you.

Foxy, unfortunately only a few years back there was the terrible events where by John Edwards was trained by members of the SSAA at their St Marys gun club in Sydney in the lethal use of a handgun. Edwards used that knowledge gained to murder his two children Jack and Jennifer. To this day there has been no remorse for the children's deaths shown by those from the SSAA, just vitriol about; "we did nothing illegal".

Some on here would condone five year olds carrying loaded guns to school. Hassy said; "we should abolish all gun laws" Issy added; "Minors can get a firearm". This is the intention of the gun lobby, no laws, no controls, society awash with guns.

Issy, good to see you are making some tentative steps to come over from the dark side with you saying the Texas law was not a good one. The old bloke Heston will be turning in his grave.

In 2020 gun violence led to 20,000 killing in the US, which was down on the previous 30,000. With US style gun laws in Australia 1,000 to 2,000 gun deaths per year would be the norm.

Paul,

Your question was
"A law-abiding citizen with a loaded gun, whom are they most likely to shoot?"

Any given weekend there are many hundreds of law abiding citizens, with loaded guns (when told to load by the range officer) firing at targets on authorized ranges as well as hunters out in the field; not one of them shoots him/herself.
They shoot their targets so, unless you can come up with some statistics to refute my answer then it must stand.

Please note that your suggested answers were not part of the question.

Hi Inssy,

This is what happens when you have uncontrolled gun laws;

"TEMPLE, Maine (AP) — Police in Maine are investigating the death of a four-year-old in Maine who they say died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound."

"The shooting happened on Thursday in Temple, police said. Police said other family members were in the house at the time of the shooting."

By Associated Press

Maine is a state with lax gun laws. Led by NO State permit required to purchase a gun. NO firearm registration required, assault weapons allowed, unlimited magazine capacity legal, NO gun licence required. These are the unrestricted rules gunnies want in Australia.

Paul,

Does the State of Maine not require safe keeping/storage?
That is the only thing that is relative to your post.

What evidence do you have that LAFOs in Australia want lax gun laws?

I am happy with our current laws except for a few absurdities as are others that I know.
