I think the main point of the gun law on Marta is – if you can not provide a valid permit to a Marta official, said gun will be confiscated – hmmm, what could possibly go wrong in this scenario

Scott – kind of like when I drive to work? Work is safe, but getting there and back isn’t….many of the people who are arguing against CCW on MARTA are also against CCW at work, probably becasue they are against CCW in all cases. Your point is logical and intelligent, which means it will be dismissed immediately by many of the folks in these threads.

Most of you seem to be missing one of the main points about carrying on MARTA: Even if you were to accept that MARTA is safe, what about where you end up walking when you get off MARTA? Are MARTA cops, or Atlanta Police going to follow you around to protect you when you get off the train at whatever station and walk five blocks to your destination? Cops cannot be everywhere. MARTA should be for all lawful residents, not just those who choose not to exercise their right to self defense.

People like Matt are as much to blame for our problems as the deranged aggressor in the video.

A real man protects the weak and defensless by intellect and reason, both of which will let him know when force, a last resort, is necessary.

From what I saw on the Video of the
“incident” on MARTA and, from what I read from those who responded to this video, I sure hope none of those who responded with statements, in effect saying they would shoot this person if she became physical (regardless of whether or not this lady was armed with anything more than a hairbrush), I hope these responders are NOT licensed to carry concealed. These people frighten me a lot more than the lady on the video! Shame on you! And, I am licensed to carry concealed. And, I fought in Viet Nam and I KNOW what it looks like and WHAT IT FEELS LIKE to shoot someone or have someone shoot at you or even hit you. You folks are soooo naive. I really hope you do not have a license to carry.

Did I miss something? What did this incident have to do with carrying concealed weapons on MARTA or anywhere else, for that matter? If I missed something please tell me what it was, OK?

Tell me again why I should have my taxes increased so the likes of this can access my town via rapid rail? If high gas prices are keeping the likes of this in the “hood”, viva la gas prices!

…and yes, this is a perfect example of the need for CCW on MARTA trains. This deranged individual should have been put on the floor the moment she first raised her hand to the elderly passenger. I’ll save my sympathy for the defenseless, thanks very much.
