If i lived in a place where i thought I had to carry to be safe, i would move. I have, on occasion, had an unloaded handgun in the trunk of my car or toolbox of my pickup. Always creates more anxiety than it resolves. I own guns, and I would use them to protect my family, but killing some mook who wants to steal my chainsaw for drug money would, on balance, be way worse for me than losing my saw.

Purely my personal view. If your whole existence is kill or be killed, it is a sorry existence.

Here in WV, we have permitless concealed carry. That means that any mope who can get his hands on a gun is allowed to carry it, without safety training, loaded, anywhere except a school, a courthouse, or the state capitol building where the idiots who passed this law work.

Anytime I am in a WV movie theatre or bar or restaurant, some TOTALLY UNTRAINED CLOWN can kill me or my family without even intending to, because nobody ever required that he know how to even load a gun, let alone where the safety is. Breathtakingly stupid.

Being able to move is so white privilege.

So is walking into a school with an AK 47 if you feel like it.
