Regardless whether or not one feels a need to carry a weapon and the other does not is really not the important factor. The important point is that the Constitution (Amend#2) provides for the right for every citizen to own a gun and I am totally in favor of the Constitution. The drafter's of the Consititution had a protection of the citizens against "threats" where ever they came from as their focus. To believe we should be left without any form of protection against aggression is against the wishes of the writers of the Constitution. I for one want the right to protect myself and family and to have a gun if I so wish. I do belong to the NRA only as a means to protest those that think we should be restrained from he possibility to protect ourselves. I hope I never have to use one but if necessary I don't want anyone to say i can't protect those that rely on me.:
