To defend myself and my loved ones; if circumstances require, to defend my community and those around me; and because it's my right and unexercised rights frequently end up becoming lost rights.Dave Workman said:Why do you carry a handgun?
Not directly, but someone once very close to me had a stalker problem that placed me at extremely high risk.Dave Workman said:Have you personally ever been threatened with violence?
No, but in the response above, said stalker had once come extremely close to killing said "someone special".Dave Workman said:Are you the victim of a violent attack?
Oh **** No--others can be macho, I'll be smart instead.Dave Workman said:Do you carry simply because it makes you feel macho?
"Doubt' is too weak a word--I know that it's on me to hold the line 'til they get there, and know that in my area that can be quite a while.Dave Workman said:Do you doubt the ability of police to protect you from crime?
I don't carry openly, but if I did I'd probably go with a belt-holster, something simple and classic.Dave Workman said:If you carry openly, do you use a simple belt holster or wear your pistol in a tactical thigh rig?
It's none of their business unless I'm on their property--I don't like to advertise, even though in a perfect world I'd prefer everyone carried openly.Dave Workman said:Do you make it a point to show people you carry a firearm, or do you feel it is none of their business if you are armed?
DAMN few, and those few should be required to provide secure storage. If total government control and disarmament equals safety, why aren't prisns the safest places on Earth?Dave Workman said:Do you believe there should be no restrictions, few restrictions (i.e. jails, mental facilities, courtrooms, public buildings, public schools and/or hospitals) or widespread restrictions (including sports stadiums, taverns and cocktail lounges, restaurants, public parks) on where you can legally carry?
