I disagree with your assertion that you have them "on ..your.. person" at
all times, unless you never have to go on a plane trip, visit a Federal
(or State) building, or a bunch other places where they're restricted. Are
you a cop or in the military?

drug enforcement agent, retired in march. my office was in a federal
building. when flying, as long as i was carrying out my job, i carried. if
it was a pleasure trip i wouldnt. could have, but didnt.

When was the last time you needed a weapon to "keep
yourself or your family alive"? Where you on your boat? What were the
facts?

myself?? too many to count. the june before last my wife of 39 years and i
were out driving around in our z06. some mutt at a stop light thought he
wanted our car and my wife. for some reason known only to god, i didnt kill
him, but he wont be jacking anyone else for a while. i keep a shotgun on the
boat and my sidearm, a .45 acp.

its none of my business if you own weapons or not. this is america and the
choice is yours. thats your right. when you kiss your wife goodnight and
turn out the lights to go to bed, do me a favor. give a passing thought to
the people that carry weapons to keep you and yours safe. people like me.
now, call me anything you wish. sleep tight. regards, j.d.
