Sorry if my “tone” mislead you. Actually, I carry a CCW card, and wear at least one pistol just about everywhere.

Right now — in my home — I’m wearing a stainless steel Springfield Armory M1911-A1 in .45 ACP, cocked and locked, with a Wilson Combat magazine, and Hornady FMJ cartridges (one in the chamber). If I were to walk outside more than, say, 30 feet from my door, I would probably also be wearing a Ruger LC9-LM .9mm Parabellum loaded with Federal Hyra-Shock cartridges, or a Sig-Sauer P-230 fully loaded with .380 ACP Hydra-Shocks.

My lovely wife is usually content to wear but one gun for her CCW: often a Taurus revolver in .357 Magnum loaded with six Hornady 140-grain FTX cartridges, but maybe a Smith & Wesson J-frame with five .38 Special +P JHP cartridges.

I am an ordinary person, and I am for, not against, as many others as possible to make their own weapon selections for personal carry — open and/or concealed. Further, I can state with complete honesty that if some stranger approached me in a restaurant with an unlimbered weapon pointed at me, I would certainly utilize my firearm in stopping that threat.

I dated a Psychologist for quite some time, when I was a little younger than I am now. I think that I have a certain appreciation for mental hygiene.

The real tone of my questions has to do with the seemingly total inability to reason with anti-gunners and liberals in general. Acting rationally in the face of violent threats brings slanderous attacks from them, and acting to mitigate those attacks brings down the force of tyranny disguised as “mental health.”
