Really? It's 2am and someone is breaking in your house and you don't reach for a gun? Your traveling late at night with your family and have a flat tire and a car stops to "help" but really want to help themselves to your belongings instead? A gun would not make you feel safer? Able to protect what is yours??Originally Posted by Hlleonard
i could go on and on with stories that having a gun handy does make me feel safer. Guns are nothing exotic to me meaning I have used and had them most of my life. I can tear my favorites down blindfolded and reassemble them the same way. I shoot quite often in the Winter (usually cause I'm bored and want to do something) so maybe all that makes me think of guns as another tool I can use? I don't know, but I stand behind my statement of people having guns is a right and I do think having them can make people feel safer.
i have my CCDW but don't have a pistol strapped to my side everyday but it's in my briefcase. The only time in the recent past that I actually carried to make me feel safer was when we went downtown to the Opera House to see "the Phantom of the Opera" which was good btw,.....but I knew walking back at night with my lady to the car in the parking garage was a situation that could get "hairy" so I put a small pistol in my pocket as a just in case.
My big go to thing on a daily basis are my knives. I carry two....one to use (Spyderco ambitious) for opening boxes, cutting tasks and it's the knife I pull out if someone says hey do you have a knife. Now the other one is a Spyderco Mannix 2 XL (look it up). It scares anyone who thinks knives that big shouldn't be legal and to be honest I don't pull that out in public because of people who are "sheep" and get offended easily.
I just like options!!!
