Why do you need to carry a gun?

Not long ago, I walked to the mailbox, and along my route I saw a Copperhead snake. For those who are uninformed about this particular snake, it is venomous. A healthy adult probably will not die from the bite, providing that they receive medical attention promptly. However, children, and elderly, will find the bite far more deadly. Not to mention pets. Everyone on my street has dogs, and I have cats as well. Additionally my neighbor is in his 80’s, and he would probably find the bite life threatening.

So this snake was a danger to my pets, my neighbors, and the children who live a quarter mile away.

I pulled the pistol I habitually carry, and shot the snake. I was in my yard, in my neighborhood, if you can call it a neighborhood to live in such a rural area. Yet I was armed, because this is not the first wildlife threat I’ve found myself facing. We also have Wild Boar, which are very aggressive and potentially dangerous or deadly. Coyotes are heard from time to time as they roam along the wooded areas that take up a vast majority of the space out here.

I did not go looking for the snake. I did not go out of my way searching for it. I found it on my normal path, walking to the mailbox in my rural area, on my land. In my yard, the area with grass and such.

So why carry a gun? Because if I had to turn around and rush to the house to get the pistol, the snake may have moved, and been difficult, or impossible to locate. Perhaps he would have returned to the woods, where I sometimes walk, to check the property, but never in a hunting frame of mind. That snake might have bitten my dog, my cats, or my neighbors pets. It might have bitten my neighbor, the old man who has his mailbox positioned next to mine. It might have bitten a child. The best you could hope for is an expensive trip to the Emergency Room, sucking your cash out to pay for the care you would need to minimize the danger.

There is much truth in the old saying. It is better to have, and not need, than to need and not have. There are. Probably a dozen more Copperheads within two hundred yards of where I sit. In the woods, or marshy areas. Hunting and living, and just as much of a danger to the neighborhood as the one I shot. I did not break the law. In Georgia, you can kill venomous snakes, but not non venomous snakes. The experts tell you to take two steps back, and run away if you come across one. That is not my way. It leaves the problem for another. It leaves the danger for my 80 year old neighbor, his dog, or the dogs two doors down who meander over to say hello now and then.

It leaves the danger for the children, who ride their bikes up and down the dirt road.

So why do you need to carry a gun? Because there are more dangers than the odd robbery, or attempted murder. Because the world is filled with threats, two legged, four legged, and even no legs at all. With a gun, you have a much better chance of survival than without. With a gun, you do not guarantee survival, but you increase your odds dramatically.

Yes, accidents are going to happen, just as they do with cars and drivers. Yes, people are going to use the gun to criminally harm another. And yes, people who have guns are going to die before they can get the thing into play. I didn’t say it was a miracle answer, I just said it increases your odds of survival. No one can guarantee your safety or protection. The best that they, or I, can do is give you a fighting chance at survival. Be it from a Copperhead, or a Shitheaded thug. If you choose to take no action to protect yourself, that is your choice, and I’ll respect it. But do not try and take that right from others, because I won’t respect that.
Ridiculous sophistry.

No one ‘needs’ to carry a gun.

Carrying a concealed firearm is a subjective, personal preference.

Just as I carry a concealed firearm not out of ‘need’ but due to preference.

What a great reason for putting people n danger where you tote.

Funny I've had a CC permit for almost 34 years and no one has ever been "in danger" because I was carrying. In fact no one ever even knew I was carrying.

The fact is that most people who carry concealed firearms know that it is an awesome responsibility and people with concealed carry permits are some of the most law abiding people in the country.
I wouldn't let you near me, my family, my circle....people that do own guns, when they lose their temper more likely they will use....Stats are here to prove it....famillies slaughtered, co workers shot, kids shooting parents....it is an easy grab and harm others tools. You still don't believe me.compare murder rate in most countries that have restrictions on guns with the US. Fuck even presidents here got shot.

I have some bad news for ya, and that is people are around you with guns all the time.

You remind me of an elderly lady I was talking to at the grocery store while waiting in a long line a few years back. Somehow the subject of concealed carry came up with the lady and her daughter behind me, I and another customer were contributing the the chat.

It wasn't real serious and everybody was very nice, but the elderly lady said that citizens with guns scare her. I told her that there are people with guns--probably in the grocery store right now, and she would never know! She doubted my claim saying she could recognize a person who was armed fifty feet away.

So I smiled and asked "Am I a person who is armed?" She laughed and said "No you are not. You're too nice!" Then I opened my jacket. In the colder months, I use a shoulder holster. She just formed an O with her mouth as if she was going to scream, but laughed quickly afterwards.

She asked "Why are you carrying that thing?" I said "In case a bad guy comes in this store carrying the same thing. God forbid it happen, but if it did, you'll be glad your behind me in this line."

I think it gave her something to think about.
A bad guy behind you with a machine gun...will give you a heads up. You are delusional.and yet you cant beat the stats, countries with less guns and restrictions on them have less deaths, crimes by guns. I even i knew that as a kid overseas watching the news about gun violence in the US...35 years later I live here and it is still epidemic.
 
Hahahahaha I knew you gonna try and Google your way to it. I lived there half of my life and i visit frequently and here is what someone who loves both America and Morocco can tell you:

I RATHER be a woman in Morocco than in the US.
A little Moroccan girl can play in the streets without being kidnapped, raped and later killed (super rare)
Moroccan girls as little as 7 walk to school on their own without the fear of being kidnapped, unlike here.
Moroccan women dont get kidnapped raped, killed and buried as often and frequent as the US.
We have more women in our parliament than US women in congress.
You come to any Moroccan neighborhood you disrespect a female your ass get kicked....unlike here everyone wants to get under her panties.
We give our seats to women in buses and other places, we carry heavy loads for them AMD so forth....we respect our moms unlike here they get called bitches and all sorta names....if you disrespect woman in the street that's a pass to get your ass kicked.
I can go on and on.

You can go on and on all you like, but this link states differently.

You give your bus seats to women, for what, so they can be raped by teens and nobody does anything?

Yes, you have less crimes in Morocco because you have a population less than California. The US has nearly ten times that population. As for representation, Morocco has 21% of women in their parliament and the US Congress has 23%, so you fail on that claim as well.

Moroccan women don't get kidnapped, raped and beaten by strangers, yet it apparently happens all the time by their husbands and that's okay. Nobody is "kicking their ass."

According to Nationmaster, Morocco's crime RATE is 32% higher than the US.

It's not the paradise he said it was. He also told me he would rather be a woman in Morocco than a woman in the US. Goes to show his line of thinking.
Ever been there ? Is the most visited country in africa.
No mass shooting like the US.

Have you ever visited ? No.
According to your crime master site which is not an anaccurate site.
Murder rate in the US is 29 times worse than Morocco. (Thanks to guns)

Intentional homicide the US is worse 3 times.
Rape rate in the US is a lot worse than moroco.
Kidnapping of young kids raping them and killing them is a lot higher in the US...because when one kid gets kidnapped in Morocco thr whole country stops....in the US is an hourly occurence.
Mass killing in the US is in the 100s of times, 0 in Morocco.

Keep on dreaming my kids ages 11 and 12 can take the bus and travel through Casablanca unafraid cant do that here.

And again I love both countries but in terms of safety, no comparison at all.

And again I'm not saying there are no crimes, there are but lot of pity crimes....here in the US there is no mercy, they slaughter the elderly, kids, you name it. Most of our thieves still have a bit of morals I guess.
And by the way Morocco was the first country to recognize the independence of the US and offer it its first building outside the US....be grateful and sont thank me for educating you.

Morrocco scores very low on every measure of civil liberties compared to the US. Freedom of the press, religion and political expression is limited as are women and children's rights.
By western standards....but it is a great so iery, very family oriented and has less far issues than the US society.
You and your president consider the press dake.
Womens rights? The US have the highest rape of women than Morocco. Fuck the rights then ?
Kids? Hahaha my kids and moroccan kids roam the streets unafraid 5o be abducted...here in the US you have to be glued to them.
Anything else I can help clarify ?

It's a given that a repressive government like that of Morrocco will have less crime than a free society like the US. Your government doesn't allow you to have guns because you're all a bunch of savages who would run rampant and rape all the girls and women as soon as you get a chance.

Here, we have had guns since the very beginning and only since the far left came into power and started degrading moral values in the late 60s did gun crime become a major issue.
 
Good point as liberals make up the vast majority of felons in jail
Are you on drugs Aponi because you might want to listen to yourself saying this a few times until it sounds as stupidly hollow to you as it sounds to everyone else.

I got my CCW during the housing bubble when the ghetto was buying houses in my burb. Along with them came the crime, and my once nice city turned into a jungle.

We don't have too many problems with animals in the city, but the two-legged ones were the problem. It was so bad that one year I had three murders all within a mile of my house.

So I got my license and started to carry everywhere I went. I found it an inconvenience, but so would my funeral or long stay in the hospital.

Since then, the banks caught up with their foreclosures and chased all the lowlifes back to the projects. However it's like a tornado. Once it hits, it's difficult to rebuild.

So now I only carry when I go out at night, or know I'll be coming home from a family doing after dark. Do I need to carry a gun? Yes I do, just for my own peace of mind.

Ooh..sorry. you can't, because you're no better off than the animals are. How frustrating that must be when one is superior to the animals.
 
I have a CCW but I don't carry 99.99% of the time.

The reason I have one is mostly because it drives dimocrap scum crazy. One of my greatest joys in life.

Florida Law gives you the right to have one in your vehicle anyway so.......

What a fucking loser.

Yikes!
 
Funny I've had a CC permit for almost 34 years and no one has ever been "in danger" because I was carrying. In fact no one ever even knew I was carrying.

The fact is that most people who carry concealed firearms know that it is an awesome responsibility and people with concealed carry permits are some of the most law abiding people in the country.
I wouldn't let you near me, my family, my circle....people that do own guns, when they lose their temper more likely they will use....Stats are here to prove it....famillies slaughtered, co workers shot, kids shooting parents....it is an easy grab and harm others tools. You still don't believe me.compare murder rate in most countries that have restrictions on guns with the US. Fuck even presidents here got shot.

I have some bad news for ya, and that is people are around you with guns all the time.

You remind me of an elderly lady I was talking to at the grocery store while waiting in a long line a few years back. Somehow the subject of concealed carry came up with the lady and her daughter behind me, I and another customer were contributing the the chat.

It wasn't real serious and everybody was very nice, but the elderly lady said that citizens with guns scare her. I told her that there are people with guns--probably in the grocery store right now, and she would never know! She doubted my claim saying she could recognize a person who was armed fifty feet away.

So I smiled and asked "Am I a person who is armed?" She laughed and said "No you are not. You're too nice!" Then I opened my jacket. In the colder months, I use a shoulder holster. She just formed an O with her mouth as if she was going to scream, but laughed quickly afterwards.

She asked "Why are you carrying that thing?" I said "In case a bad guy comes in this store carrying the same thing. God forbid it happen, but if it did, you'll be glad your behind me in this line."

I think it gave her something to think about.
A bad guy behind you with a machine gun...will give you a heads up. You are delusional.and yet you cant beat the stats, countries with less guns and restrictions on them have less deaths, crimes by guns. I even i knew that as a kid overseas watching the news about gun violence in the US...35 years later I live here and it is still epidemic.

Because you are so brainwashed. You actually believe an inanimate object acts on it's own.
I travelled a lot...when I turn on local 5v news all I see people protesting or some random stufff... I get back here all I see is gun deaths and shootings everywhere.
The whole world, stats, number of deaths all points to gun problem in the US...except the tough guys with small balls who need a gun to feel safe.

I bet yoir balls will get really small when your at a road side rest taking a piss and a bad guy sticks a gun in your back or knife and the only thing you can do is tremble and hold your dick
 
I wouldn't let you near me, my family, my circle....people that do own guns, when they lose their temper more likely they will use....Stats are here to prove it....famillies slaughtered, co workers shot, kids shooting parents....it is an easy grab and harm others tools. You still don't believe me.compare murder rate in most countries that have restrictions on guns with the US. Fuck even presidents here got shot.

I have some bad news for ya, and that is people are around you with guns all the time.

You remind me of an elderly lady I was talking to at the grocery store while waiting in a long line a few years back. Somehow the subject of concealed carry came up with the lady and her daughter behind me, I and another customer were contributing the the chat.

It wasn't real serious and everybody was very nice, but the elderly lady said that citizens with guns scare her. I told her that there are people with guns--probably in the grocery store right now, and she would never know! She doubted my claim saying she could recognize a person who was armed fifty feet away.

So I smiled and asked "Am I a person who is armed?" She laughed and said "No you are not. You're too nice!" Then I opened my jacket. In the colder months, I use a shoulder holster. She just formed an O with her mouth as if she was going to scream, but laughed quickly afterwards.

She asked "Why are you carrying that thing?" I said "In case a bad guy comes in this store carrying the same thing. God forbid it happen, but if it did, you'll be glad your behind me in this line."

I think it gave her something to think about.
A bad guy behind you with a machine gun...will give you a heads up. You are delusional.and yet you cant beat the stats, countries with less guns and restrictions on them have less deaths, crimes by guns. I even i knew that as a kid overseas watching the news about gun violence in the US...35 years later I live here and it is still epidemic.

Only lowlifes take a piss in public. I have a good bladder I can hold it till I'll go home.
And besides Mr smart, if that happens what would having gun on me serve for against the element of surprise ?
 
Not long ago, I walked to the mailbox, and along my route I saw a Copperhead snake. For those who are uninformed about this particular snake, it is venomous. A healthy adult probably will not die from the bite, providing that they receive medical attention promptly. However, children, and elderly, will find the bite far more deadly. Not to mention pets. Everyone on my street has dogs, and I have cats as well. Additionally my neighbor is in his 80’s, and he would probably find the bite life threatening.

So this snake was a danger to my pets, my neighbors, and the children who live a quarter mile away.

I pulled the pistol I habitually carry, and shot the snake. I was in my yard, in my neighborhood, if you can call it a neighborhood to live in such a rural area. Yet I was armed, because this is not the first wildlife threat I’ve found myself facing. We also have Wild Boar, which are very aggressive and potentially dangerous or deadly. Coyotes are heard from time to time as they roam along the wooded areas that take up a vast majority of the space out here.

I did not go looking for the snake. I did not go out of my way searching for it. I found it on my normal path, walking to the mailbox in my rural area, on my land. In my yard, the area with grass and such.

So why carry a gun? Because if I had to turn around and rush to the house to get the pistol, the snake may have moved, and been difficult, or impossible to locate. Perhaps he would have returned to the woods, where I sometimes walk, to check the property, but never in a hunting frame of mind. That snake might have bitten my dog, my cats, or my neighbors pets. It might have bitten my neighbor, the old man who has his mailbox positioned next to mine. It might have bitten a child. The best you could hope for is an expensive trip to the Emergency Room, sucking your cash out to pay for the care you would need to minimize the danger.

There is much truth in the old saying. It is better to have, and not need, than to need and not have. There are. Probably a dozen more Copperheads within two hundred yards of where I sit. In the woods, or marshy areas. Hunting and living, and just as much of a danger to the neighborhood as the one I shot. I did not break the law. In Georgia, you can kill venomous snakes, but not non venomous snakes. The experts tell you to take two steps back, and run away if you come across one. That is not my way. It leaves the problem for another. It leaves the danger for my 80 year old neighbor, his dog, or the dogs two doors down who meander over to say hello now and then.

It leaves the danger for the children, who ride their bikes up and down the dirt road.

So why do you need to carry a gun? Because there are more dangers than the odd robbery, or attempted murder. Because the world is filled with threats, two legged, four legged, and even no legs at all. With a gun, you have a much better chance of survival than without. With a gun, you do not guarantee survival, but you increase your odds dramatically.

Yes, accidents are going to happen, just as they do with cars and drivers. Yes, people are going to use the gun to criminally harm another. And yes, people who have guns are going to die before they can get the thing into play. I didn’t say it was a miracle answer, I just said it increases your odds of survival. No one can guarantee your safety or protection. The best that they, or I, can do is give you a fighting chance at survival. Be it from a Copperhead, or a Shitheaded thug. If you choose to take no action to protect yourself, that is your choice, and I’ll respect it. But do not try and take that right from others, because I won’t respect that.

I got my CCW during the housing bubble when the ghetto was buying houses in my burb. Along with them came the crime, and my once nice city turned into a jungle.

We don't have too many problems with animals in the city, but the two-legged ones were the problem. It was so bad that one year I had three murders all within a mile of my house.

So I got my license and started to carry everywhere I went. I found it an inconvenience, but so would my funeral or long stay in the hospital.

Since then, the banks caught up with their foreclosures and chased all the lowlifes back to the projects. However it's like a tornado. Once it hits, it's difficult to rebuild.

So now I only carry when I go out at night, or know I'll be coming home from a family doing after dark. Do I need to carry a gun? Yes I do, just for my own peace of mind.

I had three murders all within a mile of my house.

Mmm......Time to move, dope.


Ooh..sorry. you can't, because you're no better off than the animals are. How frustrating that must be when one is superior to the animals.

I can't for several reasons: one, my family (including my elderly mother and father) both live here and I want to be close by in case they need me for something. Two, this is my business as well as my home. Three, the lowlifes decreased my property value so badly it would be almost like giving the place away. Four, this place gives my father something to do when he wants to get out of the house and mess around with something. Plenty of work to do over here.

I know you leftists think that we built this great country by people running away, but that isn't so. It's the white Democrats who sold their homes first when the blacks started to move in.
 
Funny I've had a CC permit for almost 34 years and no one has ever been "in danger" because I was carrying. In fact no one ever even knew I was carrying.

The fact is that most people who carry concealed firearms know that it is an awesome responsibility and people with concealed carry permits are some of the most law abiding people in the country.
I wouldn't let you near me, my family, my circle....people that do own guns, when they lose their temper more likely they will use....Stats are here to prove it....famillies slaughtered, co workers shot, kids shooting parents....it is an easy grab and harm others tools.

Back to that argument again. My Lord, all you leftists are like robots. You all think alike.

Well if we ever met in person, I doubt you'd have the guts to criticize my balls even without my gun. You are not even a match for me on the internet yet alone face to face.

Ridiculous sophistry.

No one ‘needs’ to carry a gun.

Carrying a concealed firearm is a subjective, personal preference.

Just as I carry a concealed firearm not out of ‘need’ but due to preference.

What a great reason for putting people n danger where you tote.

Funny I've had a CC permit for almost 34 years and no one has ever been "in danger" because I was carrying. In fact no one ever even knew I was carrying.

You wouldn't have a clue if I was carrying even if I was standing right next to you.

And contrary to your statement most legal gun owners practice incredible restraint. 70% of all murders in this country are committed by people who obtain their guns illegally and are criminals killing other criminals.

And the murder rate is impacted by many more variables then guns alone. Only the most simple minded people think that guns cause murder.

Not at all, dope.

One thing is certain though. One must possess a gun in order to use a gun. The possession of a gun increases the risk to everyone in the household becoming a victim of gun violence dramatically.

Spare us the lecture about "responsible" gun owners. The fact that there are irresponsible owners at all is a problem.
 
[Q

Only lowlifes take a piss in public. I have a good bladder I can hold it till I'll go home.
And besides Mr smart, if that happens what would having gun on me serve for against the element of surprise ?

Good for you for having a "good bladder".

If you don't think a gun would ever protect you or your family then don't buy one. Problem solved.

However, don't be an asshole. Leave my Constitutional rights alone.
