Most responsible gun owners don't brag about carrying, they rarely even mention they own a gun. I got my license shortly before I left California and have had a weapon on me at all times since then (even in Disney!). I didn't tell anyone that I carried for a long, long time but ultimately decided it was not fair to my friends and they should be able to make a choice whether they wanted a weapon in their home. And I do respect their wishes. You also have the "Smith & Wesson" bumper stickers idiots on their vehicles, but they're the exception rather than the rule when it comes to concealed licenses.

You are my friend, Redwitch and I know you carry and I know one of the big reasons why you do. When I exit stage right, the folks who come to launch me probably won't have a firearm except for you.
We went to a funeral for a dear friend last week, and the folks gathered were life long, close friends. I was just musing to myself in the middle of the night, as I do when sleep escapes me at times....that they would probably be the same group who would stand next to me or Sweetie too when the time came.
Those friends are no better than a group who mostly carry a gun.
Everyone is different in this world.
I still stick by what I said for my other friends.
Please come to my funeral Redwitch, and dance and drink and celebrate, but don't shoot anyone.
BUT,.....I am not planning on leaving anytime soon.
