I think answers that just are kind of not explanatory are not the way to defend carrying a gun.



I have never felt the need of a gun but if people do, fine. I will never understand it personally, but I do believe that you have a legal right to do so.



Many of us believe in second amendment rights but do not see the need at this time and in this place to carry a gun. We have lived all of our lives in exceedingly safe areas, and feel that this is an exceedingly safe area with no need to carry firearms. I have heard all of the canned rhetoric about how "I don't know how unsafe I was" but I did know how safe I was. And this place is still safe. When and if that changes, I will change. But please answer Gerry Ann sincerely.



Gerry Ann, now I know dozens of quite ordinary people who have guns and I am not so shocked as I once was. In fact during the break ins last fall I was very glad to know of their presence close by.

Gracie it's not the carrying of guns that gets me riled up but the high and mighty attitudes of some people spouting off and chastising others for doing something totally legal. There are things I don't approve of people doing but I don't criticize them or preach to them about it.
