Washington Election Observer Free To Carry His Gun

[Duckhunter935]

79. Sorry to hear that is what you think of firearms owners here.

That is not the attitude of the majority here. I have never seen anyone here say "guns always good" on DU. I think I can speak for most firearms owners that think guns are an object that can be used for good or bad things. A very big majority of the millions of firearms owners are law abiding and never cause any problems. They do not think "guns always good". They understand things are a lot more nuanced than the black and white that some here think. It is not "gun good or gun bad". Guns are a tool that can be misused just like a hammer or a car. They are not worshiped or stroked like some here think. Firearms owners do not have to stoop to the level of name calling and the penis references so often used by the other side. When not in use, mine are locked in my gun safe like most others do. I do not carry as I feel no need to but I have gone through the classes background checks and training so I have the choice if my situation changes. I do not care for open carry but when it gets to 100 plus degrees concealed carry is very difficult because if you can even see the imprint of a weapon you are breaking the law. I much more fear someone behind the wheel texting or having been drinking or on drugs. Try driving a motorcycle with some of the idiots they give a license to or drive without one at all. Run red lights, change lanes without looking or signaling.

I know this is just one big NRA talking point, just to get it out there as that will be the next thing said.
