    I live in the country, very low crime rate. I carry because it's my constitutional right.

    Sage, does it scare you that people carry firearms?

    Exactly! I don't know who said it but there is a qoute that goes something like this.

    A gun is like a parachute, the one time you need it and don't have it you'll never need it again.

    Or something like that...
    What is popular is not always right, What is right is not always popular!



    I think you are looking for this one...
    Guns are like parachutes, if you need one and do not have one, you will never need one again.

    Why live where you think you have to carry?



    Why do I drive where I think I "have" to wear a seat-belt?

    Why do I live where I think I "have" to have a smoke detector and fire-extinguisher?

    Why do I live where I think I "have" to have homeowner's insurance?

    It's about evaluating potential risks and making decisions about being prepared for the "what ifs" that can happen in life.




    Very astute.

    Because it's smart to carry no matter where your are.

    the police can be hours away and standard equipment is a broom and mop to tidy up the mess....how many times have you seen the mandate that police are not there to protect the individual...damn sure tax the individual

    Because it is cheaper than building a giant impenetrable fortress stocked with everything I'll need for the rest of my life.
