    LiberalGunNut™ here! I’m more than a little tired of liberals calling us “afraid”. I have a Colt .45 on my desk at all times and a RIA .45 on my headboard. Not the slightest bit scared, or even mildly worried. But I’ve had some crazy shit come in my front door, more than once. Ever suffered a home invasion? How about by a bear? (Yes, both really happened, and more.) I also carry in the woods and on the water. Given that I’m legal, why not?

    I avoid places where I might be scared, especially when armed. Who risks 20-to-life in a concrete and steel box if your case goes pear shaped?!

    No one says, “Look at that fool with his kitchen fire extinguisher! LOL, bet he even checks it every 6-months and logs it. What a wuss!” (I have 2 other extinguishers as well, at camp and in my truck.)

    This guy? Hell I know. Bet this, he’s one of those who has no understanding of self-defense law. Justified shooting is a far narrower line than most think, regardless of one’s attitude towards guns.

    In any case, open carry people are plain stupid. The photographer already has the drop on him. All I see are 3 free guns.

      The fact you need a gun with you at all times says enough about how scared you are.

      If you need a gun to feel safe, you live in a shithole country.
