1) It's "easy" to carry: I have custom made holsters and I can carry very comfortably; almost as if I am not carrying. It is not an inconvenience for me to carry - no comfort impact.

2) I believe in self reliance. Many believe that the Government is a benevolent provider, e.g., the police will protect you. But the police are rarely there when you need them. Response times, if they are even called, typically are several minutes or more. That is an eternity during an assault.

3) I believe that we have a natural right to self defense. And the Heller opinion established that the right to bear arms is an individual right protected by the Constitution, so I want to exercise my natural right to the fullest extent.

4) I have children and I want to do everything I can to come home to them.

5) Just because I carry does not mean I will use it. It all depends on the circumstances.

6) Given that I can carry, I cannot think of a reason I should not carry.
