Why I carry a handgun.......

Most places are safe, until they aren't.

You really should wear a suit of armor and carry a bazooka with you at all times. Bed, the shower, church, parades, the dog park, etc. Can't be too careful.

 

[Unkotare]

Are they safe? Really? Are you sure? I’m certainly not.

You really shouldn't go outside at all - ever. Board up the windows, mine the yard, charge up the electric fence at the curb, and hide under the bed all day, every day.

I know what you're saying, that there is never a reason for anyone to take the precaution of arming themselves.

I only carry when I travel, or go to Walmart.

...

I didn't say that.

 

[Woodznutz]

I didn't say that.

But that's what you meant.

They're a lot less safe once you bring a gun into them.

Is that so? I’ve carried a firearm almost every time I’ve been in public since 1999. I’ve never crested a single problem or been a distraction to anyone. Thankfully the very few times I felt like I may need to draw my firearm the presence of the weapon has caused the other party to think better of things de-escalate.

 

[Unkotare]

But that's what you meant.

I say what I mean. Feel free to ask questions instead of making stupid-ass asumptions.

Making fun of those who carry says it all.

Avoid the ‘hood and you won’t have to shlep around a gun with you everywhere you go.

This says it all: "almost every time I’ve been in public since 1999."

I'm in what you would call "the 'hood" every day, and I never shlep.

CCW + car seat + trunk gun.

 

[Zincwarrior]

I doubt you are even an American..

Nope, they find you. No need to travel.

Ready and waiting...filthy commie dem pigs.

Meh, I don't have to justify anything to anybody.....Carry or not, it's your funeral.

This is a nice list of the reasons that we, as Americans can, and should, carry guns for self defense........there is a longer list at the link....

I CARRY A HANDGUN BECAUSE:

*Evil exists and may confront anyone at any time and any place.

*Evil exists to destroy all that is kind, good and loving.

*God exists and expects me to protect myself, those I love and those unable to protect themselves.


*Self-defense is a God-given, natural, unalienable right.

*The lives of the innocent—friend or stranger—are worth far more to me and to a just society than the lives of vicious criminals and terrorists.

*By carrying a handgun, I honor the foresight and wisdom of the Founders in writing the Second Amendment, which acknowledges, but does not create, the right to keep and bear arms.

*The Constitution does not bestow liberty; it restrains government from infringing on our liberties. Arms have always been necessary to remind government of that.

*Democrats and other deluded, malicious people are as desperate to disarm the law-abiding as they are to coddle violent criminals, domestic and foreign.

*Never in human history has a government disarmed a people for good reasons.

*Never in human history has a government disarmed a people to ensure greater individual liberty and public safety.

*Any government that would disarm a people cannot be trusted.

*A handgun is the most usual, convenient and effective means of self-defense.

*Going armed reinforces and upholds the Social Contract.

*A government that labels half of the nation “white supremacists,” “insurrectionists,” “domestic terrorists,” “racists” and sends federal law enforcement to spy on and harass parents objecting to the sexual and political indoctrination of their children makes plain the wisdom of the Founders in writing the First and Second amendments.

Why I carry a handgun, and you should too

There are many reasons to uphold and cherish the Constitution. Among them is the Second Amendment, which secures every other individual liberty. That’s why Democrats and other would-be tyrants so hate it and work so hard to disarm Normal Americ...

I don't carry one in public because I don't carry a purse and my pockets are just big enough for me to carry my wallet, phone, keys and maybe a couple other critical items. Certainly no room for even a small handgun.

But we have one at home that is cleaned and loaded though pretty much nobody would ever look where we keep it.

Why?

Because if somebody is breaking into our home and we have no way of knowing his intentions, I don't want to have to dial 911, give instructions, and then wait for the police to get here in order to defend myself.

Common sense laws should allow ANY citizen the right to shoot somebody breaking into his/her home if that person does not cease and desist after a warning is issued.
