Protect yourself with the 2nd amendment

Everywhere, everyday.

Where I live, it's simply wilderness. There is no local government. No police. No animal control. Not a town hall, and not even a post office. The very notion that government is somehow going to protect me from evil people, or deranged animals is laughable. The 1911 is on me every day... Cocked, Locked, and ready to Rock.

But I do have a Sig P2022 in 9mm that fits my hand quite comfortably and it can shoot the pubes off a fruit fly.

MY EDC is a mini-1911 that easily fits into a pocket holster. It's 9mm.

Mine is a Kimber Micro-9.

Absolutely absolutely absolutely!! Perfectly stated in clear language! Thank you BurntFingerForge! This one needs to be up-voted to the top.

Out here where I live, waiting on someone else to save me is dangerously stupid. I am not sure where this safe world all the anti gunners live but they are better off staying there. Once they have all been picked off, the world will be a better place and it will be much easier to tell the good guys from the bad ones.

When we want to murder a child without a firearm we call a democrat.

I was gonna say "I think you mean shot on sight", then I realized both spellings are technically appropriate. ;)

I am definitely pro-gun. Not particularly pro-permit, but everyone should at least learn how to use a gun if they want one.

There is a certain emotional appeal to your argument, but I don't think the evidence shows that armed citizens are effective against mass shooters.

There are a few times where it worked out but the smart thing to do would be to gather unarmed people behind you and defend in place. I am not asking untrained people to pretend they are SWAT. Covering a door and letting the Police know where you are and that you can hold in place allows them to focus on a smaller area. That said, if you have no choice shooting back is a better option than hiding like the people in the Pulse night cub. Had just one had a pistol and covered the bathroom door dozens would be alive.

I agree

Literally the only country where this happens this much.

Only because mass shooting in war zones don't count, murders with other weapons don't count. Abortion would easily put us over the top but that doesn't count.
