Good to hear. In Arizona the "castle doctrine" applies to "anywhere you have a right to be", i.e. in your house, in your car, sitting on a park bench.
In Texas its my understanding that its more property based, in other words you can shoot someone on any part of your property (like your car or at the edge your land)? In AZ you have to wait until they cross (or are dragged across) the threshold of your house.

No thanks!
When you are robbed again and the robber is displaying a gun, will you use your gun? Have you shot someone before? Will you hesitate?
If you don't hesitate to use yours are you sure his gun is real or a toy; does it have bullets in it? Lots of issues to deal with...are you prepared?
If the robber notices you with a gun he will feel threatened and perhaps use his before you. Will you be quick on the draw or will you wonder about his actions.
Remember, no gun and he feels less threatened and no need to use.
Very dumb idea.

If you carry and are well trained, you will not hesitate. You do not have time to think, you have to rely on muscle memory. Get some good training if you're going to carry. I don't mean going to the gun range and doing the typical stand and deliver find your front sight BS. In a real life situation you will never see your sights, that's why you train.
BTW, doesn't matter if it's a toy gun if it appears real.

So just hope that the robber is gong to be nice guy that day and not execute you? No thanks for me. The reality is there are bad people out there that have nothing to lose. They could care less about ending your life.

Yeah, how does that cop feel that gunned down the poor innocent guy in Walmart looking at a toy gun?
I suppose he was well trained, correct?
If you have a gun, it is him or you...will you be quick enough?
Good luck with that.....better off without.
Very dumb idea. I will visit you in prison for your gunning down someone.

I for one would not care if it was a toy gun that looked real or a baseball bat, if someone is threatening me they would be shot. Better off without?? I will take my chances and deal with law enforcement after I defend my life. You can't possibly know what some lunatic is thinking, what drugs he's on or how desperate he is.
Here's a better solution for the paranoid carrying guns.
Have that Corvette Z06 at the ready.
Once the perpetuator leaves the premises, tail them with your Z06.
If they are driving a POS Viper then you will be able to register this as a kill!
With your OnStar in service, report their whereabouts to the police so they can be apprehended.
Take the gun(s) and deposit them at the local recycling center and save your life.
Easy to say you will do this or that, but when the time comes, you'll be the dead one........but dead right.

Has everyone taken notes from the well experienced BobsZ06? Good, now lets get back on topic. No one cares about the infamous "what ifs", from both sides. What I want to know is where every one fits their protection in their Z06, like the thread requests. If you have nothing to contribute to the topic then don't reply, we are all grown adults here an no one needs a lesson on whether to carry or not.

So much wrong in this thread from BOB and Gary92. First off, the comment about the further south you go is COMPLETELY wrong. In fact it is quite the opposite. The West coast and North/northeast are the most dangerous places in the states. You know what they all have in common? Strict gun laws for the law abiding, and the criminals continue doing what they want while ignoring the gun laws that don't apply to the people already breaking the law. As far as what Bob has been saying, there is so much that could be said about these rediculous hypotheticals but I will leave it at this: it is better to judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Anyone have a S&W shield they can test fit behind the Nav screen? I'm getting my car soon and would like to know if I can stash it there when I have to go into places that are not concealed carry friendly.

I will visit graveside...but no need...
My best idea works.... Get to drive your Z06; Kill a POS Viper; and the police get the bad guys!

Your idea: Loser (Big Time).

I'm obviously the only sensible person in that I don't and never will carry or use a gun.
Those that feel inadequate by all means go for it. That is not me.
My work here is done.

Your views on carrying a gun depend greatly on your own personal circumstances. I can see how a concealed gun would be prudent in some areas of the country.
I just feel fortunate that I don't have to live in one of those areas.

No need to name call. Those that are not comfortable carrying, should not. I wish we all lived in Bob's utopia society where we could just rely on the kindness of man to keep us protected. We all wish there was no evil in the world, but there just is.
