Are you really talking to me? Doesn't seem like it based on my previous posts. Please clarify.
...
Yeaaah, I like how this thread makes me out to be a nutjob because of one tiny thing that I invest a whole four seconds of thought into a day. I wake up, shower, eat some Cheerios... get dressed. If I'm going out to school, I take my school bag. Going out for the weekend? My travel bag. Going someplace where I might want the ability to defend myself? I take a gun. It's not an epic decision. And I don't masturbate before I do it. It's
1+1, people.
I don't sit up at night worried. I don't brood. I don't peek out the window at noises. I don't run to my car after class or grocery trips or when I leave a bar. Hell, when I leave a bar... I'm usually that guy you wanna avoid in the parking lot because he's loudly singing 38 Special songs waaay off key.
"So hold on loooooslaaay... bhut dun leggo!"
I'm the devil's advocate in some of these threads or I'm the voice of moderation... either way, though... lighten the fuck up, people. Saying that I'm some kind of gun-toting fanatic prepping for Armageddon is just as stupid as me saying you're a soft naive Spoiler:
"sheeple" yuppie waiting to get gang raped by government thugs and racial minorities. The issue isn't polar, so why make it such? It's that kind of childish poopoo mudslinging that gets us nowhere.
Despite attaining a certain level of expertise, firearms are such a small part of my life and really just a hobby now that I'm Joe Civilianpants. I'm tired of responsible gun ownership being blown outta proportion by people with little or no experience with them. You don't have to be a subject matter expert genius to talk policy, sure, but you do have to have a hand in the game to talk about practical application. If you don't know dick about concealed carry outside of some fat white guy's blog, go do some research instead of armchair commandoing. Makes the thread convo a lot more lively, too.
Blegch. Just because of this bullshit... I'm not going to carry for a week! I REFUSE!
*gives his guns to Ratbastid* All those spare tires... yes, indeed.

My response above... and I can only think of one person on the board that fits that description. And it isn't me.
