Really Hoyt? Coming from you, that's rich.

1. I carry a gun on the small chance that I will need to defend myself if all other options fail.

2. I don't claim to have been trained in the use of guns in the Military, I assert it.

3. Show me a link or a statement I've made that I've forgotten that I live in the U.S.A..

4. I don't view the public streets as a war zone, you're the one who has claimed that I've said that, I have asked you time and time again to prove I said or think that and you haven't responded yet. I've got 4 combat tours under my belt Hoyt, how many do you have? You have no fucking idea what a real war zone is. Those of us who have been in combat would never claim that this country is a war zone.

5. I not even going to respond to your little snark about "folks who supposedly do not have a criminal background.

6. Most citizens who do qualify don't apply for a CHL but they do support QUALIFIED CITIZENS being able to acquire a CHL with the proper training.

7. I will enjoy my guns whether you like or approve it or not.

Have I answered you satisfactorily?
If not, oh well.
