And you can prove that ?
No.
You are a left wing asshole who argues from positions that only carry what you "know".
You lose again.
OK. How often have YOU used a gun to protect your family or mine?
How does that even hope to prove your accusation that someone (in particular) carries in the hopes of using it ?
Please explain that accusation and how you think it is all provable.
If your claimed fear has never happened, and it is no more likely to happen tomorrow than it did at any time in the past, You're either a coward, or nuts. Gun nuts get a nut imagining the wonderful day when they can be Dirty Harry, and save the day.
These are bullshit claims on your part, maufactured from whole cloth with no proof.
You add to it again, with no proof at all.
Keep up the good work.
Right. What specific "reasonable" fear do you think causes a person to think they need to be armed 24/7? You afraid of bears like the previous poster?
1. They live in a dangerous area. Wildlife is not the only unpredictable threat, you know. They may be unfortunate enough to live in an area prone to leftists riots, for example.
2. They know that, should they start leaving the firearm behind on occasions, the one time they need it, they will probably have left it at home.
3. It's simply become a part of their wardrobe and they don't feel a particular need to carry, but do anyway. Heck, I carry a pocket knife in my pocket that I forget it's even there most of the time, but when I need it, I'm glad it's there. I don't look for chances to use it and I certainly never attack anyone with it. It's just part of what I stick in my pocket I'm sure there will be a push at some point to make that illegal as well, because I could easily kill someone with it.
I don't carry a firearm, but if a non-dangerous person (as the vast majority of CCW holders are) wishes to do so, it doesn't bother me. In fact, knowing that I'm in the presence of people who could take action in case of an attack is good. It's surprising how many are carrying because they do it quietly with no fanfare and you never realize the weapons are there.
