Yes...understood. and agree.
I know this is not what most would agree with, but if I’m driving, I always take protection in the form of a firearm. I stayed a week in Chicago, and I carried. I know, I know, Chicago doesn’t allow ANY firearms. Too bad so many people get killed by them there!
I’d rather be judged by twelve than carried by six. I know the risk if I’m caught. The thing is, in all other ways I’m model citizen and follow the law, and am courteous and respectful of every one I meet, and that goes for everyday folks as was as law enforcement.
I am always polite and compliant when/if I am questioned by police or pulled over, but I do NOT disclose I am armed.
The firearm I carry is there as a LAST resort. I have a right to protect my life, but I also have a personal obligation to God not to argue, fight or even brandish what I carry. I ask that He remove and protect me from all dangerous persons whom I’d have no resort but to kill to defend my life. So far that’s worked out.
I’ll always run away or flee if at all possible. Same with driving. No road rage nor response to it except to wave and apologize. But the bottom line is I will protect myself, and if it has to come down to the law versus my life, I’ll protect my life.
She doesn’t identify as a Marine, I think she identifies as HoustonPD.
I am white, I don’t know how to act any other way!
You echoed my thoughts exactly.
Agreed. WTH is wrong with SC and reciprocity. Flew into MD so no ccw. Of course driving through MD is just as bad with their fascist anti gun laws. If I was home I would not be allowed to ccw to Memorial Day events at Ft Logan as it is federali property. Fortunately most states have reciprocity with CO
