Message: <blockquote data-quote="10Seconds" data-source="post: 1939502" data-attributes="member: 24432">This applies to most people that I know who actually carry their guns.  Note that I did not say permit holders.  But most people I know who religiously carry, everywhere and always, do carry everywhere.  The response that "I would rather face consequences alive, than be an innocent victim" has been given in a various form several times.   So true - does it really make people feel better to jump all over a guy who makes a stupid mistake? No malice was involved here.  The only reason its an issue is the general public fear of anything that looks like a gun.How many here have driven when they knew they were over the legal limit but still felt they could drive home ok?  Which action put more people at risk?  My gut tells me that after this incident the guy would make sure never to leave his gun anywhere again.  There is no need to take away his right to protect himself or his family over what was really an innocent mistake.  He maybe should get a fine or a suspension or something, but when I see drug dealers and armed robbers released on suspended sentences or released after a conviction at trial for time served, I really think its beyond absurd to burn this guy at the stake.</blockquote>
