Their answers confirmed what we knew all along: people who hold guns are more intimidating. >>>>>>>>>>

Which is one reason to have a gun.

The more interesting question to have surveyed would have been:

” Are people most terrified of a photo of a hand holding a gun, or of a hand holding a bigger gun?”

Then we would know if size matters?

(Buahahahahahaha!)

Other objects can affect how manly you appear, as well...

Scientists Confirm: Guns are Manly

So are spears, clubs, crossbows, swords, lances, axes. Just not as compact.

Scissors, paper, stone—who’d have thought a paint brush trumped a caulking gun?

That’s why I carrying when I am walking...just in case! I do have a concealed carry permit! I’ve only had to reach for it once a couple of years ago. I didn’t bring it out but the guy who stopped knew I wasn’t reaching for a piece of candy!! LOL It served it’s purpose!
