Oh, I understand. I leave it at home locked and unloaded when I run errands. The post office and a few other places do not allow them inside so I don’t want to accidentally bring it there.
One time I did accidentally bring it to Home Depot and everyone was super nice about it, they were asking about the model and stuff. It was not a bad situation at all.
My views is that is a tool, better to have the tool and not need it, then need it and not have it.
I believe that having a gun gives you bravado that can lead you in to unfortunate situations. If you pull a gun you are many times more likely to be shot than if you don't pull a gun. If you aren't carrying a gun there is zero chance that you will pull it. I'm 59 years old and worked in guns and badges for 25 years of my career. I have not once, in all of the places that I've gone and all of the things that I've done felt the need to have a gun while just going about my life. I see it as a sign of fear and weakness.
I agree. That’s why I don’t carry in town most of the time. I don’t want to be in that type of situation.
There’s enough people with their firearms in town to solve (or prevent) any situation there without me getting involved.
That's a good plan.
