Poof, I tried right hard to be nice. You came here, gave the original poster a lot of grief and started namecalling. Like I said, lighten up.

"You condone leaving pistols available to any thief!? "

So, if I walked into your house right now, I would find every gun locked up, right? Every knife too, right? Every heavy blunt object, right? Your car jeys would be in a safe as well too, right? Your car is the very likely the single most dangerous and deadly object you own, yet you leave it parked on the street where anyone can take it. There is no level of security that cannot be breached.

"Plan ahead, don't tote your weapon if you are going to go to the areas you specified.
If you live a lifestyle that mandates carrying, well, you might have other issues."

Really? I used to work armed security years ago. Job required that I had a pistol, period. Armed security, after all. Well, I was a Rover (Road Sgt) and had to go to various sites on each shift. Some of those sites were Federal Property. What was I supposed to then? Should I go home, leave my weapon in a "safe" place, visit the Federal site, then go home and get my pistol? Isn't that abrogating my duty to my employer by wasting company time? Or do I just put my pistol in the trunk and unloaded as the law mandates and do my job as I am required by my employer?

You really should try to lighten up, Poof. This is a conversation, not a screaming match. I will apologize for saying that you were being an ass. While I still consider it a valid opinion, it added nothing to the already negative tone being promoted in your posts, and I should not have done so.
