i carry a gun because in the past 3 years i have had 3 burglaries at my businesses and 1 attempted robbery at my home involving 2 men in a pickup truck and a firearm confrontation in my driveway. And one more thing, the sheriff was chasing 2 drug suspects on the state highway going past my house. The drug suspects baled and ended up running down my driveway. Spent the day with a SWAT team at my house and Bloodhounds in my yard. That happened 2 years ago. So yes, i carry a gun 24/7. Every time i call my kids, i get the same question! Now what Dad? Oh and i forgot to mention that my son had a burglary at his house too. Someone broke in and stole jewelry and valuables from his wife while they were out at dinner. Needless to say we are all a little skittish!
