80. WTF does that mean?

Carrying guns against society? No gun owners I know carry "against society". They carry to cover their asses so that when some miscreant attempts to rob them/their stores etc they can ask them to leave and have an upper hand in the negotiations.

BTW nobody has to leave in a body bag either. No means No, the handgun just reinforces the message for those that don't hear or comprehend.
