What do you carry?
Pappy:
I carry a 5 inch [total ] 5 shot 22 mag with hollow point amno,if I have my pants on I have it in my pocket. I know people say it will only make some one mad, I think not. ;) :) :)

I'm not old enough to apply for a CWP but I'm not sure I would. I've looked at the cost of a hand gun and the cost of a bullet proof vest. I think I'll go with the vest- at least it has some chance of actually keeping you alive :o!
JustinNC:
If nothing else, I'm carrying again just because I have the right to do so. I don't work in conditions that may or may not put me in the middle of someone's marijauna patch anymore, but in a wierd sense, I feel like I'm doing "my part" to keep my right. I look at the right to bare arms as kind of like money in a budget.... mis-use it or dont use it and you lose it...slowly losing it anyway, may as well use it while you have it.
Pappy:
I carry all the time and I mean all the time,cause just when you think you won't need it you will,Kegan that will help as long as they ant shooting for the head. ;) ;D ;D

Yep. Just try to think of a place where there has NOT been a shooting in recent years. Church? You bet. Legislative meetings? You bet. Schools? Oh yeah, going to any PTA meetings in the near future? Sporting events? I don't know that I recall any but I'm sure there has been. Especially with all the drunk ash holes flipping out over a winning or losing team. And there's always the possibility of riots afterward. My thought is similar to Justin's. I want to carry simply because I want to carry and have the right to carry. Whether I'll ever use it or not is irrelevant. Last night on the way home I stopped for gas. The pumps were all pre-pay. When I pulled up I noticed a couple punk kids (18-25 years of age I guess) standing inside just looking for some trouble. I could sense that they were feeling aggressive just by walking past them when I went in to pay for my gas. I had my two boys with me, ages 4 and 1. The one year old was asleep in the truck so I just let him sleep while I went in to pay, but my 4 year old loves to go into gas stations with me (usually to try to pursuade me to buy him candy) so I took him in. Well, I hadn't even gotten up to the counter to pay for my gas when one of the punk kids starts arguing with the cashier and "flexing". He even took off his jacket like he was about to "act". Apparently he was trying to get gas without paying for it and the cashier was standing his ground. For while I expected to become a witness to something but as long as I was there nothing happened except the cashier guy did call the cops. But it was a situation that did get tense and it just confirmed my desire to carry. What if that punk had pulled strap or a knife on the cashier, myself, or someone else in the store? I do everything possible to keep myself and my family out of harm's way but sometimes you are thrust into situations all because of a decision someone else decides to make. That is why I WILL be carrying very soon.
