Never cept when out in the bush fighting wild beasts. You'll never see me at CheckEChesse, WalMart or Costco with my pecker dangling out of it's holster.
Because in an URBAN enviorment that is the only reason people are doing it. You've hit the nail on the head.
Thank You*you're
I agree with you.He may be.
I've been called worse.
OC helps to show the public that good people, other LE, carry. Do I feel this is a need? Yes. Why is it silly in an urban environment? Because I'm shoving a right into anothers face? Woopti do. I get their rights shoved in my face everyday, why can't I toss the coin at them? Because a gun is a symbol for evil, bad things? Well, even more a reason to strut around in my big boy pants with my pea shooter on my hip.
If I wanted to intimidate someone, I'd walk around in my Ultimate Fighter tee shirt and make people flinch.
If I were walking around with my .40 on my hip just to intimidate, would kind of defeat my purpose of getting the impression that good people carry guns.
If someone is strutting around with a gold plated, diamond gripped 1911 to impress people and to show it off.. Screw it, let them. If you have something nice strut the hell out of it. People do it with cars, trucks, houses women, why not guns? If it's a good looking beast, I wanna see it. I like checking out other peoples firearms, I'd bet most of you guys do as well. Why not have a gentleman discussion about it next time your wide makes you go into bed bath and beyond?
Besides, I carry a sig .40, other than the fact I never have an issue with it it's no ferrari.. Nor a corvette for that matter.
Forgive me for establishing my Constitutional right to the general public.
