Reply #72: Wrong. I don't carry to protect you ...

[spin]

I'm not a cop.

I carry to protect myself and my family. If I were in a Chuck-e-Cheese and a couple of bad guys decided to rob the joint, I would merely observe until they proved they intended to severely hurt or kill people.

After they shot you, I would decide that it was time to take some action to save my ass and protect my family. Wouldn't be a lot of question then.

You have a strange neighbor. If someone breaks into my neighbors home while they are not there, I just call the cops. I don't get paid to fight crime in the streets. Homie don't play dat.

I carry the gun into the Chuck-e-Cheese because:

1) I hate leaving it in a car where it might be stolen.

2)Parking lots are not always safe places

3)Pulling a weapon from a holster in public often attracts attention and also increases the chances of an accidental discharge. A holstered weapon is safe.
