[QUOTE="BA Glocknut, post: 2234962, member: 30730"] Well I will say I took up law enforcement and private security 17 years ago for the purpose of using my 2nd amendment right and have carried for 17 years. The news has really done alot of injustice and also so have youtube in the fact that alot of people paint uniformed officials as the gestapo. Truth is there are a few officers who are against any carry at all but you find the majority of officers would rather come into contact with an individual with a firearm minding their own business then they would some piece of garbage looking to commit crime. I carry both ways because I for one love the fact that when I am with other 2A people there seems to be a polite society around us. I dont carry to impress and I dont carry to feel macho. I carry because I have personally witnessed firsthand what firearms do to people and I have seen the trail of destruction that death leaves in its wake. If I deter one piece of garbage from harming someone else because they were intimidated then its worth everything I have endured to get the right to carry. People talk down on me and others praise me but in the end all I want is what all of you want and that is for EVERYONE to go home alive and to their families. [/QUOTE]
