What kind of horrible, dangerous places do these people live that hey have to go out armed?

[Rustic]

A gun in easy reach is not being armed it's being able to be armed quickly

I think you missed a nit

God is in the details

so is the devil

God created the devil

so God created evil?

 

[JGalt]

I do not think that coward is the correct word for either side of the discussion.

I own a couple guns, do not carry, open or concealed unless I am going to shoot them. Have no need nor desire to have a firearm on my person at all times. Not because I am afraid of guns nor people who carry them, I just do not see the point at this place in my life.

But by the same token, I know a lot of people that are armed just about everywhere they go, to them slipping on their gun is no different than putting on their belt or shoes. None of them do it out of fear, anymore than locking your door in your car is done out of fear.

There are reasonable times to be armed, but if anyone feels the need to be armed 24/7, and they are not a cop, military, or have a special reason to feel threatened, they are either nuts or a coward.

Lol
You’re missing the point, whether anyone carry’s or not... firearm ownership is no one else’s business least of all the federal governments

I am not against gun ownership, but certain people should not have access to guns. That's just common sense.

Lol
That is why we need criminal control not gun-control… The vast majority of violent crime in this country is done by repeat offenders… Get rid of the repeat offenders violent crime goals way down

Some people are just too stupid to be allowed to carry a gun

A Marion, Indiana, man was seriously injured after he accidentally shot himself in the groin with a gun he did not have a license to possess, authorities say.
Mark Anthony Jones, 46, was out for a walk early on Feb. 28 with an unholstered Hi-Point 9mm handgun in his waistband when the weapon began to slip from its position, according to a police report.
When Jones went to adjust the handgun, he accidentally discharged it, shooting himself in the genitals.
"The bullet entered just above his penis and exited his scrotum," said Marion Police Department’s deputy chief Stephen D. Dorsey

I've heard of spanking it, but that's just taking it too far.

Another gun nut who would have been better off with the Barney Fife rule. Only 1 bullet allowed, and it must stay in the shirt pocket.

Right, zipperhead.

So how many "shirt pockets" would I need for all these?

 

[BULLDOG]

Or they know that if they ever need help the cops are too far away to respond in time that is if they respond at all.

That's a dumb excuse. What are the chances of getting into deadly trouble a gun can save you from in suburban America? Especially if you are untrained in it's use? I'd be willing to bet you are more likely to be struck by lighting or hit by a bus.

It only takes one time.

Better to be prepared than not.

There is little or no chance my house will burn down but that doesn't mean I let my insurance lapse.

...and The country is getting more and more socialist. That brings out desperate fucked up people

Gun nuts are generally desperate fucked up people.

If I was standing next to you you would have no clue that I was carrying.

Many gun nuts want to be a spectacle. That's been shown in this thread.

 

[iceberg]

I carry because the laws of my country and state say I have the right to.

do you do everything that your country and state say you have the right to do?

is it written anywhere that people must?

no, just asking since his reason given for doing it was because he has the right to. Seems an odd reason to do something. We have the right to do all sorts of things, most of them we never do just because we can.

Sorry, but if you think you need to be armed at a little girl's soft ball game, you're nuts.

If one of those little girls is yours and you feel responsible for her safety then why is it "nuts" to carry a concealed weapon? Let me guess, Bulldog...you're one of those naïve people who thinks that the Police will protect you from the crazies?

OK so go out and about today and take a picture of everyone who is legally carrying a concealed weapon and then get back to me

No one needs a reason to exercise any legal right

The thing is the paranoia. They live in the suburbs and think it's downtown Beirut.

Actually the reverse is true. We need them to protect ourselves, our families, and our property from desperate fucked up people who refuse to accept the results of an election. And for druggies, muggers, rapists, car-jackers, home-invaders, robbers, terrorists, and other left-wingers.

The individual has the violence in them, there is no violence in the firearm... Most people learn that in grade school
