    A rather clear instance in which carrying a gun in public proved to be a terrible idea:http://nyti.ms/1aqGUeY

        .@fordvox If you think I'm "backing down on guns", you never understood my position in the first place.

        @SamHarrisOrg You’re the most misrepresented writer I’ve ever read. It’s as if people read the first sentence you wrote and invent the rest.

        @SamHarrisOrg Carrying it? Or *firing* it? Let's be clear. Had it been that theater in Aurora, it would have been a very good idea indeed.

        @mtpollack Well, access to a weapon needlessly escalated a conflict that should have been non-lethal.

        @SamHarrisOrg It would not be hard to provide examples of the reverse, also; defensive use of firearms saves many lives, often nonviolently.

        @SamHarrisOrg you would normally think a retired police officer would be #nra poster child for "responsible gun owner" bit of an epic fail

        @SamHarrisOrg I may be wrong, but I do believe that retired police can carry everywhere in the U.S.

        @SamHarrisOrg in Australia & less frequency of guns & gun violence makes me think reasons for right to bear is an outdated right (2/2)

        @SamHarrisOrg as outsider from Australia your constitution incl. right to bear guns was revolutionary for its time. The lack of guns (1/2)

        @SamHarrisOrg Glad I'm in Australia and I don't deal with that shit. American gun attitudes seem so odd to me as someone not exposed to guns

        @SamHarrisOrg In ANY situation... definitely DO NOT antagonize a stranger. Sure he's going to jail now, but uh, you are dead man.
