I have 4 main reasons:
If my wife was to get killed and if I was carrying a gun I could have prevented it.
If our daughter was to get killed and if I was carrying a gun I could have prevented it.
If a grandchild was to get killed and if I was carrying a gun I could have prevented it.
Even If I was to get killed and if I was carrying a gun I could have prevented it.
For what ever reason, we are all doing the right thing

Simply because I can.
I carry because after 22 years as a street cop, I have seen up close and personal the evil that some so-called people can and will do to others. There really are those people, who are truly evil, and as a retired street cop I know these people do exist and I refuse to be a victim. I carry to protect me and mine.

There is good and evil.
We good folks need to help each other and need the tools to do it.
Even at 61 and in my condition I do what I can to makes and make an impact on this old world.
Nuff said.

Because I worked enough years to retire as a peace officer in good standing, and President Bush signed a bill that said I can...

I carry now for the safety of my wife and me.Up to 10 yrs ago I carried for the safety of the public that I served.I also carry because after 30 years on the job it just doesn't feel right not to have my piece with me.

I carry because I couldn't live with myself if something happened to my loved ones that I could have prevented.

First to protect lives. My family members incase some Looney goes to do them harm. To sleep in peace because my first line of defence is the family dog. Next it's me and my six friends. My six friends don't like being disturbed when there resting.
For the ones who don't believe in ccw carry it's better to have a sword to fight with than have nothing to fight with and die. My tee shirt does not have that big "S" on it this means the bullets don't bounce off me.
Yup I ccw carry. I practice, practice and more practiced in the last four decades. Let's say I'm good enough not to miss my intended target with any gun. I hope and pray the time never comes when I need to defend myself and family. I don't want to take a life. But if we're looking at evil who's going to hurt us I know what I have to do.
Be safe, god bless, bigbill
God made man and Winchester made him equal.

It's genetic.......goes all the way back to my dad, grandad and great grandad and great great grandad carrying all the way back to their Texas roots.......when no one told you when to carry, how to carry or what you could carry, you simply carried or you were carried.

Old habits die hard.

I carry a S&W 669 with two extra clips in a neatly concealed shoulder holster because there's just too many crazies out there..... some of our local retired LEOs have already received death threats. These thugs think that we're the vulnerable ones.... they've got another thought coming! Bring it on, mutha****er!

I carry ALL THE TIME because I'm not on the distribution list for the bad guys' Plan Of The Day.
The BGs aren't just after stuff.
On Jan 20th, in Dover WI, a BG broke into a home at night simply for the thrill of killing someone. He managed to slit a man's throat before the wife fired at him and sent him running. If she hadn't had that gun, they'd both be dead. He was caught by police.
And, on Jan 14th, in Renton WA, a BG robbed a GameStop. The clerk cooperated. He cut her throat. Another 'Gentle Giant' doin' his thing.
Keep your gun close at home, and always carry when you leave your house.

Amen! I actually had fellow daft officer ask me why I carry a pistol "all the time" off duty & asked it in a rather snarky manner & then followed up that he thought I was paranoid. I replied; "why should I be paranoid, I have a gun?" His response was even more ignorant when he said; "well I never carry off duty" as if he was morally superior. I just said: "YOUR FUNERAL" and walked away.
Sadly, even some cops can't see the forest because the trees are in the way.
