Because it can’t move around by itself?

Too young to die. Too old to fight fair. Back off.

Because a cop is too heavy and they are lousy shots.

I do it because I have an unbridled right to. I carry a 45 ACP with DRTs because it is just silly to shoot twice.

I’ve been assaulted and seriously injured three times. For nearly two years I was stalked by a neighbor who came on my property, followed me around town and told people I frightened him and he was going to have to kill me. (I moved away and he continued to stalk me for 18 months, then finally give up.) I was going to stop carrying, but the house I moved into had formerly been a meth lab. People would get out of prison and come looking for the former owner, sometimes at 2:00 am. Given the history, I feel much safer with the gun on me at all times.

Two cracked ribs, a broken wrist and 30 staples in my head, as a young Domino’s driver trying to follow the rules.
