Your not carrying now are you???

[oneounceload]

It's usually a fudd, hoplophobe, anti, or a prohibited individual whether by a nanny or by a nanny state who argues against being armed to be prepared. I am armed whenever possible, and that means that I am constantly armed.

Or is it a hearthrob of Ted K who makes these total BS statements? Do you live on a mountaintop? If not, why not? You won't need a gun to go to the john there.........

Sorry dude, you have NO clue as to who I am, what I believe, or where I live (except for Florida)

Try again........

Wasn't the sunset today just lovely? (Or did you spend it hiding inside in fear of a home invasion?)

 

[Mike1234567]

Hmm...

 

[LKLive13]

WOW... just be armed if you want to feel safe and don't if you don't care. I carry everywhere I go. Its the same reason I change the oil in my car, have home owners insurance, life insurance, flood insurance, medical coverage, or any other things I do just in case... they are all there for the "in the event___ happens what will you do?" Im not the type of person to beg and plead someone to do something I do for my safety, I just give them the information to make a sound judgment as to why they should do certain things. If you feel safe enough in your everyday life to no CC then don't... I just hope you are never in a situation where you happen to NEED it. Bad things happen to good people in "good" areas all the time, even at home. I'm not paranoid about something happening I just prefer to have a weapon nearby me at all times in the event I need it just like I have an emergency fund available to fix the car if I need to. Carry or don't... its up to you... that's why the second amendment gives us the right to bear arms... just in case!

Absolutely false, reread your history

I'm GLAD..

With all this crime down in Palm Beach County, I glad our 28 year old Son left Delray Beach back to the Safe Areas of Indiana..Bill.

Absolutely false, reread your history

I'm starting to think you just want to argue... how about this... you and only you on this forum never carry a CC and if something happens to you or your family don't go crying about how crappy society is and deal with the consequences and those of us that do carry will carry on with our lives... good luck.

"Sorry dude, you have NO clue as to who I am, what I believe, or where I live (except for Florida)"

Well, dude, I know this is going to come as a shock to you, but we don't really give a rat's behind who you are. What you believe is that your thoughts re: self-defense are superior to most who have posted in this thread. You are wrong, in theory, analysis and logic. We don't really care how you strap your skeet shottie to your bedside table.

Most of us who carry every day do so because we are smart enough to be prepared. Few of us live on "mountaintops", are fearful of leaving windows open [in the proper season] or cringe when we accidentally leave a door open, garage or otherwise.

And most of us don't care if you think your illogic is going to earn you some sort of super-troll award. In short, we don't care...period.

Go aggravate some other venue where your juvenile assertions might attract ignorant and ill-advised followers. They certainly aren't going to be successful here.

Wow. hit a nerve, did I? That's all you got? PLEASE..........really? Your comments prove my point

We don't really care how you strap your skeet shottie to your bedside table.

Really? Did you have to go look that spelling up yourself?........man, you are OUR worst enemy and do nothing but give the antis more fuel with this childish thought process. C'Mon dude, let's try to keep this High Road and have a good ADULT discussion, not one based on video games, OK?

you and only you on this forum never carry a CC

That would be wrong, I just don't feel the need to carry to the john, the mailbox, or while I am watching TV

 

[oneounceload]

But you can continue to try to flame.............hope you have more than this.....as I am on your side, and if you can't defeat these simple statements, you will surely lose when going up against a serious anti

North Central Florida, isn't that safe.

 

[oneounceload]

In certain areas, you are absolutely correct..........and in certain areas, you are absolutely incorrect.......the key is living in the right area.......

 

[oneounceload]

Glad ONE of you sees my intent and purpose.........

 

[opr1945]

It's past 1984 and "Big Brother" is watching you.

 

[oneounceload]

Not only is he watching, it seems he is directing your thoughts as well...................at least for some here

carry often?

I do carry regularly. I put this ankle gun on before I went to the store this AM and have it on now. I don't believe I'm paranoid. I don't believe I'm afraid. I suppose I don't really care if anyone thinks I'm either.

I don't carry in the shower nor do I make provisions to have one within arms reach at every given moment yet know where they are at all times.

I believe I've had a marginal amount of training to open up my eyes to what could happen at just about any given time.

I do believe the following:
If something bad will happen, it will happen when, for the most part you will least expect it.
Whatever happens, it will be over in seconds and you will have what you have on you to contend with that problem.
If you don't know what to do, you won't do it and you will not rise to the challenge but will revert to your level of preparedness.

None of this is paranoia or fear. It is a simple fact. If you think other, that's OK too.

I live in a nice neighborhood, have quiet, peace loving neighbors. I am a quiet , peace loving person.

When I initially got involved with self defense training, I was probably less calm than I am now. I was involved in a situation that I was ill prepared for and nothing bad became of it.

I started training and eventually became quite a bit more comfortable with myself. I found I didn't get mad at idiot drivers and didn't argue about stupid stuff as often.

Where some people will say I'm afraid or paranoid and that's why I started training, there is some truth in that but I don't think it applies now. I didn't even think about the gun I have on, in my office in suburbia, USA where absolutely nothing could possibly have me need a firearm, until I read this thread. I go to places where it's not legal to carry and I don't. I believe I can't live my life worrying about what might happen. I do probably make myself a bit more aware of my surroundings when I don't carry but it has become second nature to survey my surroundings.

If all this falls within anyone's description of paranoia or fear then so be it. I don't feel it is and my opinion means more to me than yours does.

Carry on. Or don't.

Or +1 in interweb speak.

 

[Warp]

In Texas, isn't everybody assumed to be carrying?

No, Texas actually ranks towards the bottom in terms of % of the population licensed to carry, among shall issue states.

Don't let the movies skew your perception of reality too much.

 

[Warp]

Absolutely false, reread your history

Absolutely correct.

As in, oneounceload is absolutely correct in this post.

The Second Amendment does not give us the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

I say again, the 2A does NOT give us the RKBA.

It protects that Right from infringement by our government.

 

[md2lgyk]

I'm surprised this thread hasn't yet been closed. It has strayed far from the OP's original post into a furball flamefest. Why?? How you or I or anyone chooses to exercise their 2A right (or not to) is not anybody else's concern. I don't carry in the shower but if you do, that's your business. Who am I to criticize or belittle that? We should all just be glad we live where the right itself is recognized and accepted (generally speaking, that is).

 

[gym]

That's not what this was about, no one carries in the shower, you are not reading the entire post. It's about some of us who have had or understand that incidents like home invasions, can happen to anyone anywhere. And leaving ones doors unlocked windows open and garage door up at night isn't the wisest thing to do. It's not where you live is what we are saying, you can be hit any place and any time.

 

[Mike1234567]

oneounceload... Yes, you do strike nerves... and it's obvious this is your intention. You... just... like... to...push...buttons. It seems to give you some sort of strange and obnoxious kick. I'm not going to react other than this one post.

You may not realize it but you do like to think you're more intelligent and logical than everyone else. Narcissism? I'm sorry to inform you that you're not more intelligent and logical than everyone else and, frankly, I think your intense need to be right, and your need for everyone else to be wrong, is a disservice to your family's welfare.

 

[berettashotgun]

Work incident, young hothead got fired for almost causing a CRJ900 to plow fields; he made death threats- gonna kill somebody, yadayadayada.
During the meeting about said incident a woman from Canada ( coworker ) asked if we all had our guns with us - just in case dummy showed up.

 

[ridurall]

I'm retired Air Force and I don't even go back on base to get my prescriptions filled. I retired during the Clinton years when he banned anyone from bringing guns on the base. I used to go though the gate with my personal pick up full of M-16s, a couple of M-60s and a M-16 with a 203 grenade launcher on it. (I shot air burst simulators out of it) All these weapons were for my aggressor force when we would go out for field training. We also mounted the miles system on our weapons and our war games were basically be laser tag games. I also would bring my .45 on base to shoot during lunch at the range. Well I'm retired now and don't work on base. But I hate what is happening to our military.

 

[Devilfrog]

ONEOUNCELOAD:

Again, where I live, I can sit in my living room at night watching TV with the doors and windows open until I go to bed, then I lock the door. Do I have gun on the nightstand? Sure, but I am also a light sleeper and am usually awake somewhere around 3 or 4 anyway (if you aren't above 50 yet, you won't appreciate that comment )

A gun in your night stand? You must be paranoid!!!!
How can you call the rest of us paranoid when you yourself keep a gun on the night stand? I carry daily because I refuse to be a victim or to let my family be one, regardless of the threat level. It's there if I need it, but I don't worry about it like you say we do. Just like having a gun on the nightstand.

 

[Mike1234567]

^^^ It's not ridurall calling others paranoid.
