I don't expect you to know these neighborhoods but sometimes we get into places that we wouldn't go into if we knew the area. It doesn't hurt to be prepared just in case. What harm would it be if you carried protection for yourself? The fact that you carry a gun doesn't make you into a lunatic that wants to kill everyone. I've carried for about 20 years and only once did I come close to having to pull it, but it was a good feeling that it was there.
We have a right in this country of two choices, to have a gun or not. You have chosen not, but don't bad mouth that those that chose to have.
You are correct. We all have choices and the freedom to choose.

In spite of all the heartbreak of the past week, we have so much to be thankful for. We are so lucky to be living in this time period, and 2012 will go down as one of the best in history.
