How's reality in cities that tightly restrict guns like Chicago and DC do? HuffPo loves you.

With the high demand of the 6+, are you concerned about safety?

Right, everyone who owns a gun does so to be a tough guy. Project much?Apparently mr members are all tough guys in real life
And you're concerned about security but seek to ridicule those who take steps to be more secure. What does that make you?
Apparently mr members are all tough guys in real life
I'm not a tough guy which is why I carry a gun for protection.
I'm not schooled in the arts of unarmed weapon disarmament or multiple attacker survival. I also have knees that don't love to run from my years of snowboarding.
Carrying a gun has nothing to do with being tough as much as it does saving your life if you ever need to. After all, I'd like to live long enough to see the iPhone 20 at least.
I'm having mine delivered, but nope. Not worried at all.
Also, I think owning a gun is great for productive, eligible citizens.
Smack em over the head with your purse
Hit 'em over the head with the phone. The screen on the 6+ is kinda like a frying pan anyway.
Yes. Phones getting stolen is a concern. Tell me why there is so much hooplah about phones needing a "kill switch".
I'll save you the time. Because they are the most bang for the buck as far as stolen property goes. High demand, easy to transfer, and easy to reconnect for use.
That's reality.
Not necessarily. Texters will just use their legs to steer to free up their hands.
There will not be 'fewer' texting drivers.
Educational thread. What could be scarier than the prospect of an attempted iPhone theft amidst the chaos of so many frenzied iShoppers? Hmm
How about the prospect of half of those frenzied shoppers being armed with a lethal weapon? Glad I preordered!
Oh, and glad I live in Australia.

Just carry around something that you could defend yourself with for a week or so after release. I doubt anyone will target you and it's always best to try and run if you're facing a close range weapon like a knife, but carry something that could deter them long enough to run. If facing a gun, try and determine if it's real but I would give up your phone if facing severe harm like a gunshot wound. Never enter into a conflict unless you're sure to win e.g don't stab the guy unless it's life or death and you're sure he doesn't have a concealed gun...

You can never stop people from doing crimes no matter what you do and where you are. I preordered but I didn't want to wait until October so I opted for pickup on release day.
Good points bruh
What would be even more educational would be examining the minuscule amount of harm (and the rate thereof) caused by those with licenses to carry concealed compared to the population at large.Educational thread.

One scarier thing would be to have my family threatened with no means of defense.
And violent crime rates in Australia are essentially unchanged since before the buy back, etc.
Because guns aren't legal here, stupid people can't carry them around.We are pretty safe over here in the uk.
