Your enemies, whom ever they are at differing times, do not believe in gun control. Just one of those life facts that can cause loss of your life if you do not pay attention.
I am an avid shooter and totally support 2A but I also push the hell out of proper safety training and making damn sure you are keeping your firearms from the hands of all others 24/7.
I carry on a CCW. I do not believe in locking my protection firearms in a safe but I always know that my guns will not be able to hurt anyone except when I want them to.
Safety and training are essential.
One of my friends growing up was a cop’s son. The cop came home from work he would leave his holstered revolver and it’s shiny bullets laying on the kitchen table. His attitude was they all know it’s here, they know the dangers of it and if they are going to be stupid I will make it easy on them. All of us used to look at it but were afraid to get near it.
