C'mon, I'm not an idiot. I have a 12 guage for fun n security if need be. I don't need to cary it around with me, it spends most of it's time in my closet. The odd shooting day with friends, yee haw. But cmon, the difference between an assault rifle bullet wounds and a .22, one is a warning the other is say goodnight Irene. I bin shot by a .22. We were kids on a farm, shit happens. But seriously, how insecure you gotta be to carry around anything larger. Mind you I live in Canada, we don't have the same problems y'all got. Sorry bout that.
