"Nobody wants to take your guns..."

[Starboard Tack]

63. You answer my question with a question.

You introduced gangbangers and meth heads into the conversation. I see no reason to do that unlees you see them as a danger to you personally. This would imply that you have either been threatened or that you fit a specific demographic, targeted by gun wielding meth heads.

What you are doing "keeping all these cops around to investigate murders" is beyond me, though I doubt there are many cops involved in such work, but that is another discussion.

Your posts indicate that you, or your husband, carry a gun because you need to defend yourself from being murdered by gang members and/or meth heads. It makes me wonder what kind of place you inhabit and what kind of lifestyle you lead. When I lived in your wonderful country, I spent many years living in drug infested neighborhoods, in NYC, LA, New Orleans and other places. And raised kids in those places. It never occurred to me, for even one moment, that being armed might improve my chances of survival. On the contrary.

But you don't have to justify your behavior to me or anyone here. Only yourself. It is your life and you have every right to live it as you choose.
