Anyone Else Worried About a Terror Attack Tomorrow?

As for terrorism, you have a far better chance dying from an intestinal illness than you do terrorism.

You can blame the all encompassing media tabloids for peoples fear that this is not the case.

This makes for an interesting read: The Many Causes of America

What he said....
The statistical chance to die of a terrorist attack probably won't even make the top 100 list of probable reasons to die.

I also don't think terrorists would pick such an obvious date as authorities are supposedly on higher alert on days like 4th of July.
Which of course is all hogwash.
There is absolutely NOTHING the govmint can do to stop some looneys if they want to.
See Boston Marathon.



It's all part of the brainwashing that they WANT us to believe there is a real risk.

Will it happen again? Probably. But there is no way to predict it and I refuse to let it affect my daily routine.

I live in one of the worst cities of America according to Forbes magazine.
I feel perfectly safe on a daily basis.

I apply basic common sense to what I do.
I do not engage in unsafe activities. I don't do ANYTHING with drugs, I don't even have a gun.
A gun will never safe you from anything.
People thinking a gun will safe them from random violence are just drinking the Kool-Aid.
If some jerkoff starts shooting at a public event it will be over before you even had time to pull your gun.
Chances are you might even hurt some innocents in the process.

I don't hang out at night in shady parts of town.
When doing business in those areas I am a little more aware of what's going on around me.

Like I said, I feel safe.

Well, it sounds like a good thing you don't have a gun. If you are not confident and proficient with the use of a handgun, you are better off not to carry. As for stopping a violent criminal, I would rather have several CCW carrying than wait for the cops to show up. Like you say, some innocents might get hurt, but if the shooters are not stopped, many, many innocents WILL be hurt.
