| 98. The phrases "packing heat", "toting", etc are fucking stupid and provocative. |

Peopls seem to think they have a right to mock gun owners and do so on every possible occasion.
We made intelligent, informed choices, and came to different conclusions than anti-gun people - it is that simple. We have no wish to FORCE anyone to own guns, and we expect the same consideration, not forcing your ideas and feelings on us.
Live your own life and mind your own business.
