I got my concealed carry permit 18 months ago. I carry a S&W .357 wherever I go now. I think of it as an insurance policy. You never want to have to use it but it’s there if you need it.

Anthony Navarro is a lying scumbag. The "gun culture" has ALWAYS taught the "importance of reserve and responsibility".
This article is just another piece of antigun propaganda masquerading as "rational gun control discussion".
I have my CCW through Weld County, CO.
Sheriff Cook was actually in the house when I got my fingers printed.
He told me his objective before leaving office was to legally approve as many CCW as he could.
Good things.
'Culture of guns'. Whatever. Dismissive of the nom du jour. Whatever they want to call it.
Anthony Navarro is good to go. I've trained with him. A 'lying scumbag' he is not.
I have CCW and a S&W .357 but I’m darned if I know how to carry that wheelgun concealed.
Now my CZ .25 auto? Always in my pocket with nine pills ready.
National gun culture? I certainly hope so.
Let's drill down to the real cause. What actually needs to be looked at if we are contemplating BANNING anything is the SSRI anti-depressant drugs that have known side effects of causing suicide and homicidal thoughts. In practically every one of these incidents the perpetrators are on these drugs. (plus some 20 of so solders a day committing suicide!) In addition to CAUSING these tragic events even 60 Minutes had a segment about them that concluded they “have no therapeutic effect”.
I hope this ruffels some feathers as the truth usually does.
As we were walking back to the truck, a big ol black feller come walking up to us...”Say main, got any jumper cables main?” He kept saying this over and over. After answering...no, he asked for a ride. All the while getting closer and closer. Told my girlfriend...go on to the truck.
I squared up in an attempt to keep him from getting any closer to her....then I hear, “hey...you! What do you want from him?” Praise the living Lord...a plain clothes cop walked from the darkness and approach us both.
I just about got thumped by a thug in Downtown Houston. NEVER AGAIN! As soon as Texas made concealed carry the law of the land...I got my CHL. I will never ever ever ever feel that helpless again. We were lucky that time. A cop working a 2nd job as security. Next time, may not have been so lucky. There are so many thugs out there that will kill a guy for a $20 dollar bill. Sad, but true.
National politeness culture.
Scary story. And good for you.
As for the 20 dollar thing, I know. I drove a livery.
They dont live like humans in the projects. Liberal elites NEED to visit them.
Urine, needles and worse in the hallways. Drug deals and prostitute out in the open. blech.
Local news sites...click2houston, day after day, multiple shootings, carjackings, bank/store robberies, driveby shootings...you name it.
Ridiculous the crime in American cities.
wow. You know i dont follow local news but i wonder what the crime rate is in the mexican/black area of staten island and if it’s the blacks/mexicans or both committing them.
There’s a huge area where the mexicans wait for trucks to pull by who need them for work. Never a black guy in the whole group lol.
If they’re such hard workers, why does Mexico suck!!!!
Scary events are not just in bad parts of town. I was at a drive in window of a Chase Bank in the Galleria area recently. I was getting cash with a check from that bank and I am a signer on the account. The girl (black) at the window kept asking for more and more identification from me while conferring with another black cashier.
Finally my gut told me I should leave so I took my drivers license and check and went to another bank.
That evening on channel 2 news I saw where 2 older women were followed home from that Chase Bank and robbed after cashing a check at that window.
A few weeks later a friend told me that that same bank was closed because it had been robbed.
19 years since they started issuing permits.
Anybody who lends his name to this kind of propaganda is automatically a lying scumbag, no matter how nice he may be in person.
"Navarro hopes he might be able to change a culture from the inside out, to help others see the importance of reserve and responsibility.
Lie. The "gun culture" has always taught "reserve and responsibility" in the use of guns.
"When they run their mouths off, when they posture and use guns as symbols of masculinity, it contributes more to the arguing than as a solution.
Lie. The is a straight regurgitation of antigun BS. I have yet, in my 60 years of gun ownership, met ANY gun owner of these characteristics.
"Pro-gun and pro-gun control sides are both yelling so loud that no one is hearing each other, he said.
Lie. The "pro-gun-ownership" side has long tried to approach things from the point of "reasonable discussion", and gotten nowhere. This is just another justification for the anti side to indulge in the "incremental regulation" method to get to a total civilian ban. No other end result is, in their minds, permissible. And Navarro's "position" is right in the middle pushing their side.
Good. We need a culture of vigilant, informed, armed citizens who are actively invested in society’s preservation and future.
Pretty sure the true statistics are well disguised and or hidden so folks in this country cannot see just how bad it truly is.
For example...the term, “non-hispanic white” is used. Take a gander at many news stories...they will omit the color of the person just as they often do when it's a muzzie. Eventually it comes out, but one can read how they attempt to veil.
>>If they’re such hard workers, why does Mexico suck!!!!<<
It is beginning to happen here in America as well. Just took a while longer. The Oligarchs control everything. Very little is passed through the economy to the poor. There is few in the middle class in Messyco. Payoffs/bribes are a way of life in Messyco. Rarely anything gets done w/o someone getting paid under the table.
You’re right, we are headed that way. That’s why Trump has to win.
I drove the livery overnight and had many blacks and mexicans in the cab in the wee hours.
I would choose a mexican every time. Because they’re great guys? No.
But they were almost always either going to or coming from work, or going to get drunk at a mexican club.
They are HUGE drinkers, and some in my car were VERY drunk and did get into fights outside the clubs and sometimes once they left the cab, but never in the cab or with me.
Funny thing, they dont give a #### about citizenship. They dont love or hate America. It’s a place to make a buck or escape gang hits.
But they’re reproducing at a ferocious rate and need to go fast. I dont want to hear that nonsense that now ALL those kids are citizens.
. If someone pulls a gun on him during his commute, he’s not going to take out his gun too.
Uh, so what is the point of carrying a gun then?
What law enforcement needs then is prosecutors who seek maximum penalties for crimes committed with guns and judges willing to throw the book at those criminals, Garner said.

Instead, we have a president who pardons them.
