That’s great that you can do that. There is a lot of construction here, with lots of illegals all over the place. Gun ownership is near 100% in this area, and the hood rats would have to do some cardio to get out here.
I don’t like carrying all the time. I think the need to represents a failure of our culture to defend itself over several decades. Oh well, it is what it is, and shooting is fun.
About 7 years ago, my wife and I attended a STEM conference for high school teachers and college instructors. We were eating dinner with a couple that we had met. My wife or I said something about guns. The husband asked me how I prepared the house before leaving. I replied that I had placed all of the defensive guns into the gun vault. He politely and respectfully asked if I would reveal how many guns that entailed. My reply was the 9mm handgun in my wife’s bathroom, the .45 ACP M1911 in my nightstand, the .223 Mini-14 behind the bedroom door, the .357 magnum in the kitchen and the .44 magnum in my desk in the basement. My wife said that I forgot to mention the 12 gauge shotgun in her bedroom and the handgun in my bathroom.
All have subsequently been lost in a tragic boating accident.
