I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face...and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won't shoot you. My gun won't pull it's own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger covered. It can't just go off. However, rest assured that if a lunatic walks into the grocery store and pulls out a rifle, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may get shot before I can pull the trigger...but, I won't die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my children's lives. Know, if I die it will be in a pile of spent shell casings. I won't be that victim. I choose not to be. As for you, I don't ask you to carry a gun. If you are not comfortable, then please don't. But I would like to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim. There is evil in the world and if evil has a gun, I want one too...

Yes. Don't recall who I heard say it, "the only thing I know of that will stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun".

That's become my standard response to people about carrying a gun.

evil does not need a gun. evil can use a club, knife, poison, gasoline, explosives, just force of numbers, size, strength. but none of those options are waf as a reactionary, adquately swift and effective defensive measure, so we have to have guns. If we give them up, might as well suicide, cause a sheep's life aint worth living.

Why did you choose to give up your guns all those years ago?

Your not reading. I meant when you chose to become a felon and lose your rights.
