If your country was so safe the police would be unarmed. But guns are obviously necessary. If you always have a cop (Mountie?) around then lucky you. But for those who don't, it's only fair to give a person the same level of defense available to the government troopers and the uber-special protected class who are important enough to be able to defend themselves with their Canadian concealed weapon permit. If a special person can have one, and criminals will have one regardless
of the law, and the government troopers can have one, that just leaves the average law abiding person at a disadvantage.
So if you don't want one, fine. But you shouldn't go around telling people what they should and should't do.
My government spent time and money on me to go overseas to keep the peace. It's the least I can do to carry that same vigilance in the home front. I also don't have a state-issued body guard. So that's why I exercise my right to keep and BEAR arms. I think someone from Texas should take you under their wing for a week or two so you can see the light.

I agree with you 100%. The 2nd amendment gives us the right to bear arms without the need to explain to our government why.
Criminals are criminals and will carry regardless of the law. I just want the ability to protect myself and my family. Anyone that thinks they're safe because of their location should speak to my father in law. He was getting out of his car after pulling into his driveway in a very affluent neighborhood. A car pulled up, and two men jumped out...one with a gun. They stole his wallet which had a couple hundred bucks inside, hit him in the head and left. He now has his CHL and carries all the time.
That being said...we need to keep the focus on guns, and avoid getting into a political discussion. That's the quickest way to get this thread closed.
