Texans are getting the go ahead for open carry but I'd rather conceal and keep the element of surprise right where it belongs... Guns are one tool in the arsenal and I do like the smell of gun oil but I still like pepper spray far better for a lot of situations. If you spray somebody you own them. Guns can be a permanent solution to a temporary problem but if you spray somebody then beat them to a pulp likely they will get the idea and leave you alone next time and possibly alter their ways.

Isn't a lot of pepperspray ineffective? I've seen videos of Dutch police using it and it looked like the people who got sprayed weren't affected at all.

Be sure to check out the yellow Lamborghinis next door.

True, but I ripped one of mine a new one because it wouldn't shut up. Who's idea was it to put it in my kitchen, anyway?

I know it might seem like the right thing to do, but don't try to fit a silencer on it.

I just can't find anything in the Constitution about any permit, taking any kind of class, concealed carry, or open carry.

Perhaps someone can point me to that section.

Oh, so that's why you guys pack heat when you go out to buy milk -- in case the government tries to take you down then and there. Good thinking.

I went one step further. I disarmed it. :eek:

What are the stats of people being assaulted by thugs in the US outside of the known major metro areas? I would bet they are very low. but i don't know for sure.

Another issue i see is that you pull out your gun, bad guys are going to pull theirs out, then it becomes a shootout and if u are outnumbered you will likely lose. The bad guys may not bother you if you didn't pull out your gun but now you are challenging them and the baddest and fastest guy wins.

Guns are too entrenched in our culture to ban them which is moronic. If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns/ not a good situation But, is carrying a gun really going to save you ? Are there non biased stats on this?

With this said, i support sane folks rights to carry and own guns. However, i am conflicted about the real reason to carry all the time for most people. Obviously it makes sense sometimes but all the time??
