Guns aren't scary - people who feel the need to carry them (outside of law enforcement) are the ones who scare me.
It's nothing personal, but that's how I feel. I have a target rifle, a squirrel rifle, and a 20ga shotgun upstairs in the locker - but I don't feel the need to carry them around town. If I did, I would simply move somewhere that didn't scare me so much.

It's the United States, we have a Constitutional Amendment that protects our right to bear arms…

Quote:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
While the American Bar Associations states “there is more disagreement and less understanding about this right than of any other current issue regarding the Constitution,” to most it is pretty straightforward… “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Period.

Some states try to impede on that right, but most don’t; and the trend in the US has been towards reducing restrictions on gun ownership. Per Gallup reporting, “Americans as a whole may just be more accepting of gun rights now than in the past. Compared with views in 2000, each major demographic or attitudinal subgroup has shown a shift toward a more pro-gun stance on the question about whether gun laws should be more strict or less strict.”

It is ridiculous to be scared of a law-abiding citizen in possession of a firearm. This country was founded and has been and contiues to be defended by those very same individuals, both home and abroad.

Oddly enough though, Texas is not one of the least-restrictive states concerning gun laws. There are many regulations concerning where firearms may be carried, and one of the few states that has no provisions for open carry in public…



Still, it is a very pro-gun state and that's why I love it here so much!

Cheers! M2

Guns are no more dangerous than any other tool. If your a LEO then it's just a tool of your trade.


But, if you should feel the need to carry ANY weapon (handgun, knife, etc...) and your only intent to use it is to defend yourself then you should be able to.

I live in Orange County, CA and here it is damn near impossible to get a concealed weapons permit and open carry of a loaded weapon is illegal. If you ask me, that is infringing on my 2nd Amendment rights.

And don't get me started on other CA gun laws.

I use my Yaris on a regular basis to carry my weapons around. M4/AR, Kalashnikov variants, and other carbine length rifles and/or shotguns fit nicely in the Yaris. The only thing I have a problem transporting are my Mosin Nagants. I generally have to take the bolt out and lay them across the back seat because they are too long to fit in the trunk.

I love the compartment to the left of the steering wheel. My Kel-Tec P3AT, P32, and a spare mag for each fit perfectly in that little compartment!

Where do you people live that you need to have a gun to defend yourself? I infer from your statements that you feel that you would be completely defenseless without a gun?

I live in SoCal, and thanks to the laws here I do not carry.

Having been someone that has had a knife and a gun pulled on me I would love to be able to carry all the time. The people that think shit like that only happens in the movies and on TV need to wake up and see what's going on around them. There is major gang/Mexican mafia crap going down in Riverside and the police think it's going to start spilling over into Orange County soon.

Not to sound like a downer but this whole country is going to hell, are you prepared?

Dood - move to RI. Except in the city (Providence) there is very little of that crap going on. "Pleasantville" is what my kids' friends called this place.

I was able to apply and get a concealed weapon permit for the state that I live in. I only carry weapons when we go camping for target practice.

the country would be a much safer place if everyone was required trained on weapons in schools. Heck, it would prolly even stop those pesky school shootings if everyone in school had a little handgun for their gun class, right?

Whether or not you are going to get attacked/accosted is not up to you, so why not be prepared?

And fyi, i don't carry and I do not own a gun. However at 6'2" i'm not anyone's idea of an easy target.
