Graicie your comment:
"For those that do...it seems to be a form of showing off."
May be appropriate for the miniscule number that behave as you allege.
I will venture to say those who behave in such a manner they probably do not have a permit.
And for those of us who do have permits there is no way any would behave as you inappropriately paint those who carry with a very inaccurate picture of who they are and how they behave.
It is OK to not be for guns and what ever else comes with the belief. It is quite another to to speak negatively about a segment of the population that most of you know nothing about.
The so called "need" to own and or carry a gun is, as I have stated many, MANY times on TOTV, no different than carrying insurance (of any kind). Insurance is nothing more than a just in case situation....is it not?
People who feel differently about guns than you and many like you need to understand that those of us who do carry do so for the VERY SAME REASON, just in case.
I never attempt to change an anti gun's person views. I do however, take exception when well meaning folks like yourself, characterize us in a totally incorrect and negative way.
Gun owners are not what you see on the permitted violence called entertainment in the movies and television. They also are not the character painted by the media. They are your neighbors!!!
A real plus for many of you folks is that unlike the just in case insurance you have to pay for.....you get the benefit of us being in your midst....for free. We do what is right, under the law, and just in case, to protect ourselves or YOU!!!!
