I agree 100%. When seconds count, the police are minutes away. ...or how about, "I carry a gun because police officers are too heavy." Seriously, I respect LEO's but I agree that we're all responsible for our own safety. Give up your guns and you give free reign to all the crack heads and thug wannabees.

We should all remember to fire are weapons on a regular basis... We need to know our weapons as well as are other half..... Just having a gun doesn't mean your protected. You need to know how and WHEN to use it.... I am a firm believer, If i'm pulling my 9mm I am firing and it's because My life, My wife, child, family member or friends life is danger

Here in NH we could not agree with this more. After all we are the "Live Free Or Die" state.

every post in this subject was well put.
In Las Vegas there are many "scary" things happening here daily.
It is sad when the good people have to always be proactive and be a step ahead of the bad persons plans or intentions. But that is Life and I too want to keep mine to suport my loved ones, family and friends, and to also coninue living " MY LIFE"

In the police state of N.J. criminals have rights and law abiding, legal firearms owners get prosecuted for defending themselves. I will be moving to a right to carry state soon.

I believe that you should be able to defend yourself, concealed license is good but if we can live and die for our country be trained to do so by our country why sould It be so hard for me to protect myself ,Family, home, or while traveling state to state. when the drug dealers and thugs dont care one way or the other Open carry should be legal any were.

Even though open carry is legal here in PA, most of the cops don't seem to know it.
I keep mine covered (kind of) because I don't feel like being hassled.
Every once in a while I see someone OCing... but not very often.

Living in Northern MN I only have to protect myself from deer but I do have a concealed permit to carry issued in MN and another from FL so I do carry when traveling. The police can only respond after the fact.
