I don’t think that you understand. I may disagree with you, but it is my opinion about why I would do otherwise. Of course, if you’re not comfortable with open carry, then you have every right to conceal carry. It is my opinion that we are safer with open carry, and I simply wanted you to know why.

So can I assume you open carry?

I don't even own a gun (unless you count my Daisy Pump Action .177 pigeon and gopher rifle).

Plus I live in California where even carrying a picture of a gun is a felony.

We used to take our rifles to school in the 1960's and kept them in our trunks on the school parking lot. That way we could go out target shooting after school.

That was legal then.

Today if a high school student did it (and they weren't a member of a special privileged minority) they would be convicted of a felony and never be able to own a gun again.

But back then marijuana possession was a felony and now it's legal.

I have a nice Glock 9 mm that fits easily in my pocket, packs a punch, and is an easy aim.

I carried a rifle when I was 13 years old...without an adult along.

I never shot anyone....unles Brer Rabbit counts.

So far as owning a Vulcan, who do you think owned cannon in the colonial period? They called them “Privateers” for a reason.

Also, check out this list of the Mormons in their westward migration: The group consisted of 143 men, including three blacks and eight members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, three women, and two children. The train contained 73 wagons, one cannon, 93 horses, 52 mules, 66 oxen, 19 cows, 17 dogs and some chickens, and carried enough supplies to fully provision the group for one year

permits reasonably issued to people who must carry money, jewels and be out late at night

I usually carry money, I wear some jewelry and often have to be out at night.

I don't think I'm that unusual.

You are clearly a gun grabber with the attitude that you and the government know better than the rest of those you refer to derogatorily as "YOU PEOPLE."

Guns kept at home and at place of business inside etc.

This is Free Republic. I don't think you belong here. You belong over at the Huffington Post or DU.

Well I think a lot of us did that when we were kids.

But do you carry a .22 rifle to work with you or the grocery store? By the way if you do fine by me. :-)

Did you notice AEMILIUS PAULUS only had one post in 2002 and then after a 13 year absence from Free Republic with no posts whatsoever, he suddenly returns to Free Republic hawking for gun control?

I smell a rat.

I did not check the posting history, but if it is as you say, most definitely a DU deep mole.

Whatever works.

The "repent or die in your sins" sermon is much more effective when the preacher is waving a rifle.

Maybe a thirteen year absence from Free Republic can cause brain damage.

Now, donate or die!

I have been posting since the 1990’s first under another name then when I changed computers under my present name. I have regularly posted what is said about not posting for 13 years is simply not true and is easily checked.

If you continue pimping for gun control, you won’t be posting here for much longer.
