Reply #140: Why I need to posses a firearm in public

[Treo]

My daughter married into a family of drug dealers when she was 17, her husband spent half of their marriage in federal prison. While in prison he was suspected of involvement in 5 jailhouse murders. He is reputed to have been involved in more on the outside. He is back in prison now partially due to my wife’s testimony against him. He lost all parental rights in his divorce to my daughter; again my wife’s testimony was instrumental. He and his family have sworn vengeance. His family has stolen everything my daughter owns in retaliation and has threatened to kidnap her children and take them to Mexico. FWIW current federal law prohibits my ex SIL, as well as half his family, from possessing a firearm. the last time he got out of prison he had one before he made it all the way to his house.

I carry a gun everywhere I go, as does my wife. I am never unarmed.

Do I qualify as a “gun nut”
