I carry a gun because the bad guy's carry gun's.

I've had the experience of having a bad guy stand at arms length and pull the trigger 4 times. I was unarmed . I didn't care for the "shooting fish in a barrel " experience, with me being the fish. Next time this "fish" is at least going to have a sporting chance.

The guy was out on Parole....had done jail time for surprise ....Armed Robbery and there was a warrant out for his arrest on an attempted murder charge. With all that , he still gets to carry a gun.
If he can carry one then I'm going to carry one .
