What do you carry?

<< < (4/15) > >>

Pat B:
I own guns but never felt a need to carry one. I've got big guns, little guns, long guns and short guns. I just don't carry then cept to the woods and very rarely there.  I grew up in Savannah and lived there until I was 28 years old. I lived in the downtown section and in mid town. I walked or rode a bicycle everywhere, day or night and never felt the need to carry a gun or never got in a perdiciment where I thought I needed a gun.  So shoot me!  ;D

Grunt:
Taurus .380 set up with Crimson Trace laser for around town. On the road a S&W M&P .40 or Glock 23. For the house a Remington 870 with 20" barrel and extended mag. I have a NC carry permit. I ain't paranoid but I also have a machete, K-Bar and baseball bat behind the seat of my truck.

Josh:
I've been robbed at gunpoint twice before, once when I was a little kid a guy put a gun to my head and told my mom to give him her purse or he was gonna shoot me.  I was around 6 but I remember every detail of it.  Then around 6 or 7 years ago I was robbed at gun point while working at a video store in my neighborhood by a male and a female wearing masks.  The guy was holding the gun on me and told his girlfriend accomplice that he wanted to shoot me but she talked him out of it and they took the money and ran.  I saw them coming from around the corner as it was a pretty big store and had a glass front.  They were already wearing their masks so I knew what was about to happen before they even came into the store.  It was pretty scary.  Since then I carry a gun with one in the chamber everywhere I go.  Never know when some crazy buthole is gonna try and shoot you.  Sounds paranoid but I am speaking from experience.

Jesse:
Must be a southern thing. I never met anyone up here that carried a gun. We all have them in the house though.
Josh-- If you had a gun that could have ended differently but maybe not better.
I'm with Pat I never saw the need to carry. That includes when traveling in some of the poorest countries. As a Kid our family was held up at gunpoint along with a buss full of people by heavily armed guerrillas in Kenya. I think having a gun could have made that situation worse. We were let go unharmed.  Not saying self protection is a bad idea but I wonder how many times these hold up/robbery  situations actually end up worse when both sides have a gun.  To each his own though. If I was female I might really consider it  ;D.

nugget:
Glock 19 almost always. KelTec 32 when I do not have the Glock. A derringer is always in reach in the car.
I hate it has to be, but people have lost their durn minds these days. I dont want to have to shoot someone, but I will protect my family, my property and myself at all times.
