Team_DC-Derrick Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Where do you guys live that you feel you have to constanly carry a conceled weapon? I was born and raised in the very tip of Texas in the Rio Grande Valley which is is notorious for drugs and gangs and I have never felt the need for a gun, even though I have owned a few I always felt safe going to even the worst parts of the RGV without a gun. i guess its a sense of personal responsibility for providing your own protection. i certainly couldnt imagine what kind of mindset someone would have to be in to go through the day defenseless. supreme court has ruled that police have no legal obligation to protect you. I wouldn't trust the police to do anything for me other than give me a hard time..lol, I guess it could just be that I grew up looking at the situation from the criminal mindset. Ufortunately I grew up in those shitty places you guys probably feel you have to carry your weapons in. I just grew up believing that if you don't owe anyone shit and never phucked anybody over then there's no need for a gun. Also in my experience most dudes who feel the need to carry a gun are either just scared or honestly live by the gun, I have homies who won't step out the house without their gun but then again they live the street life and have probably phucked up somewhere so they know any given minute could be their last due to decisions they made. But if your a normal hard working citizen I see no need for a concealed weapon, yes there is a possibility of some random person trying to mug you at gun point, but is your residential area so bad that you feel you need it 24/7? Not trying to offend anyone by saying most people who carry guns are scared, I know few people such as myself who choose not to carry due to fear of what we know we are capable of even without a gun, cuz if it's between me or someone else believe I won't hesitate not for one second and it won't matter who they are. unless you are some ninja, the chances of you winning a fight against some one with a gun are slim to none, its not about being scared, its about being ready to protect yourself if the moment arises that you NEED to protect yourself. alot of cruel people in this world who will just hurt/maim/kill people for no reason, or because they dont like them/skincolor/color they are wearing/where they are from... I carry because if i need to, I will protect myself, my family and friends. Not because im scared of anyone, but im not going to fist fight some one who has a gun either... thats just dumb...

I agree with you 100%. I carry at all times to protect myself, my family, and my friends. The best thing I have ever been told about carrying concealed is "I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6" Kind of off topic a little, but here is a funny story I was told. Guy was pulled over for speeding. When the officer came to the window and asked for his license and registration, he told the officer the following: "Officer I would like to let you know that I have a concealed carry permit and have a .45 on my hip, 9mm in my pocket, and a .357 in the glove compartment." The officer then asked "do you have any other weapons in the vehicle?" "Yes sir, i have 2 shot guns and my AR15 in the trunk" Officer replied "Damn son, just who are you afraid of?" He replied "Nobody!" That story makes me think of Hugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanoManOne Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I guess we all just see things different and I never said any of you were scared, I simply stated in my experience that was the case. Also think it over before pulling a gun out cuz all it takes is that split second where someone reaches for his gun to try and be a hero and bang it's over for them. How many cops haven't been shot by criminals who had they're gun pulled first, when someone runs up on you there's no reaction time fast enough for you to unholster and shoot first. Also that mentality of I got my piece so i'm ready for anything flies out the window real quick when there's is a gun at your head. You should also never assume you're not scared of anyone or anything if anything embrace fear and use it to stay on your toes at all times, I know people I grew up with who have gone to jail or are still in jail who have commited crimes ranging from simple robbery to murder and even I who have ran with what society calls animals and montsers have met people who make me think twice about fucking with them. Its easier to claim to not be scared when you've never come across real animals and monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
certifiednut Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 i carry because it is my right as an american to keep and bear arms, it has nothing to do with me being scared of anyone or anything like that. these orphans aren't going to feast on themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh G. Rection Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Its easier to claim to not be scared when you've never come across real animals and monsters. ive been in a few close calls in my time. earliest was when i was 18. a guy tried to drag me out of my car by my foot. i reached in my glove box and pulled out my bowie knife and had it against his throat. i have had the life of another person in my hands and would have done what was necessary to save myself if he hadnt run away. i have come across "real animals", and no im not scared.
