I carry my gun everywhere

Everywhere I go even church I have a pistol on me concealed. Its just part of my outfit now. I even have one in my gym bag when I'm in the gym. I dont expect to ever shoot anyone but I just feel like Id rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Just be sure you are highly trained and highly mentally healthy. Help people don't hurt.

    I carry quite often. So many whackjobs out there now. At least you have a chance at defending yourself and your loved ones that way.

    I've really been meaning to get one myself and I would do the same thing.

      Taurus G2C or Taurus G3C are the best pistols to get on a budget. They're brand new at $250. Theyre very compact ane hold 12 rounds of 9mm. They dont jam. Taurus has had a bad reputation in the past but their new stuff is really well built and that pistol in particular is a very good one.

      I bought one used just to keep in my glove box of my truck if I forget my carry gun.

        Those are def along the lines of what I'm looking for. Where the hell do you find one at that price though?

          Heres one for $250. I usually buy my guns on gunbuyer.com but its more on that site.

          https://www.atwoods.com/taurus-g2c-9mm-black-semi-auto-pistol.html

          Thats $240

          I dont know much about them sites but they ship it straight to a gun store near you. Go in and do a background check and you leave that day with it in most states.

          Its a good one because it holds alot of rounds while being very compact and reliable and cheap

    Well, well, I'm more surprised we got a church-going person here than anything else...

          I do believe in a higher power but im not even super religious actually but I find its a good source to get connected to your community and other good people. Also its good for your kids to play with other kids and make friends. Its nice to know your doctor and the sheriff from church. There's people you meet that you may need help from one day. Ive found it to be quite useful in that area.

  • my grandfather used to say that having his gun on him was like having his american express card - never leave home without it.

    Sounds kind of nuts to me as an English person. But that's just a knee-jerk response that's inbuilt in to me. Whenever I stop and think about it in any detail, I think I sort of get why Americans would carry guns. It's almost like a symbol of freedom in it's most pure form.

    Before covid hit, my husband and I were planning a long hiking holiday in Alaska. We did some research and decided that we ought to take a gun wherever we went, in case we encountered a bear. It just seemed sensible.

    As far as I'm concerned, guns are absolutely fine, as long as the person carrying them is sensible and knows what they are doing with it.

    Totally fine. In my state they don’t respect 2A, and people are scared of guns. If you own one they think you’re insane and dangerous.

      Im lucky in my state theres practically no gun laws. You can conceal carry without a permit. They dont even work with feds in regards to guns. The governor even said he'd have ATF agents arrested if they tried to arrest citizens of this state for unconstitutional gun laws. And really outside of Memphis and other innercities theres not much gun violence.

    Nothing wrong as long as you have had some training (which includes what happens after you shoot someone - how the police may treat you and how you may feel if you made a mistake), avoid alcohol and drugs while carrying, and are really good at not advertising that you are carrying, and get some routine practice (which should include stress shooting situations so you know how you actually aim under stress in a rapid fire situation).

    Be safe, and keep everyone else safe as well,

    Do you do it for a bit of layer of protection?
