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

[Jarlaxle]

Go back to the playground and tell the other kiddies you failed.

Why would I lie? I'm not you, liar. (Thankfully.)

The State has no idea what you bought except for California with a pistol. 4473's are held by the dealer.

Until he goes out of business, then they are turned over to the BATF.

That's for you two to work out.

Two? Dude...those voices in your head are not real.

That's an option. They can also keep them.

No. As I understand the law they have to be turned over for “ safekeeping”

Not the last time I checked, of course that was 20 years ago.

Why carry a handgun?
You are the only first responder guaranteed to be there when you need one.

It's unfortunate, but in many cities in the United States it is necessary to carry a weapon. Often, a police officer is never close by when trouble starts.

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

It's because you feel small, or weak, or underachieving, then you want to own a gun to give you the feeling of power over other people. Paranoia, anger, and insecurity gives you social anxiety and owning a gun is a quick and simple solution, but it makes you the most unsuitable person behind a firearm. It creates a shoot first, ask questions later scenario.

Incorrect. It's about risk mitigation.

Amazing how violent crime in the US is SO bad we need all kinds of ridiculous anti-gun laws, but not so bad to justify people carrying a gun to defend themselves.

So you think the psychologists are wrong

I'll stick with the psychologists. The risk migration excuse is a disguise for the social anxiety issue.

That's an excellent point.
