I guess ill answer you and chilli and any one else with the same opinion . Which is sad that people turn a post into something it's not.. And truly if this gets to far off topic ill let rugger delete it.. This is for individuals who like I, like to own guns, be protected and carry freely and lawfully... And also, I'm not a afraid anything, Well maybe @Unchileno naked. That scares me. ... First off I respect anyone's right to like guns or carry... Or Not like guns and not carry.. I don't judge people differently cause they do or don't. I might think about where they are coming from and what to expect from them, But don't judge them.. Or ridicule them...i grew up with guns, Shooting , hunting and had service members in life that fought with guns, Killed with guns. I know what a gun is possible of doing to doing to a animal or a human.. But a gun is a tool.. Nothing more, nothing less...I could kill you with the keyboard i'm typing on right now if i used it the wrong way..
Point is a gun is nothing more then a person makes it... that being said a person carrying a gun should know the responsibility of owning and carrying.. I do.. I live a great place , Peaceful and safe and not a hostile part of the world here. I live in small town USA. Do i feel safe? everyday!! Do i feel threatened ? Never!! Do I feel like my life is safer cause I own and carry.. ? No . But do I feel better protected and like I will take care of myself and family and friends if something does happen.. ? Yes!!!
Owning a gun is right and privilege we have here in the US. So politics aside, I choose to carry.. You don't , Fair enough.. As for carrying. I don't actually carry a gun on me unless the environment dictates it.. If i go out of town and feel needed I have it. If GG and my son are with me out of town, Needed..I stay in good places in any town. But criminals don't mind that...I don't carry around home town , Always in reach in truck or some where else though .. I don't carry extra ammo looking for war or anything crazy, I just want to have enough to be able to call the police when it's over. Not some one else calling the coroner .. There have been some sad tragedies lately that A gun owner or person with the right training could have prevented some sad deaths... So when the man comes after you shooting his illegal gun at you , Hide behind me and I will make sure you get home and aren't a number...I carry a flash light cause its handy and useful, And the knife , You overwhelmed by a knife.. ? Pretty useful for work.. and etc... also.. At the end of the day we all have the right to feel how we do about guns, I respect that.. This post was about those that do enjoy guns and the owning and or carrying. .respect that... BTW I am a licensed concealed Carry CCW here in the US , Not some wacko ...
