"I would give up cash,cars, and other property and walk away if allowed to do so. It is there only as a last resort to protect my family and self. I would much rather have a gun and never use it- than need it and not have it."
Good to hear
This tread has gone a bit out of the original topic.. But for those of us who live in a society where ONLY the criminals carry firearms on the street, it is important to clarify that the culture and way of life is a somewhat different. And that not all people that carry are criminals. As I believe those of you who carry know that it is a mean of last resource and use it as a personal protection.
Some few years ago I drove from NY to San Fransico in my vacation. For economical reasons, I often slept in my car along the side of the road. And I never felt unsafe, anywhere. From my eyes, USA is both beautiful and safe. I have been in Libanon in the late 80â??s and Afghanistan just after 9/11, and briefly seen the wrong end of AK74â??s. But I never fired my rifle. ..that only happen when executing wild dogs. But it gives a feeling of security if you are afraid. I guess thatâ??s what itâ??s about, I canâ??t see how anyone can judge others for choosing to do so.
