    Guys u are going to be fine. Know your surroundings. Dont stop at Billy Bobs country inn to take a piss, dont discuss your load with anyone.

    If you pick up a lizard you deserve what happens to u.

    I carry my firearm on my person whenever it is legal for me to do so. In a lot of states I even open carry. I have never been hassled by the DOT for it. Just let them know you are armed. Make sure you know what the state laws for carrying a handgun are for the location you are in.

    Isnt that weird how some laws vary so much between states? Is like your on I20 in GA with ur pistol on your console with one in the hole and when you cross the AL stateline all of a sudden it has to be unloaded,clip out, and concealed

    Try this site for some good info on carrying..http://packing.org

    Oh and if you ever go on any military base, you cannot have a gun no matter the local or state laws the base may be in..

    You can carry, but is it worth it? If you use it are you ready to be dragged through the wringer TWICE.. Sued by the person you used it against (or his family if he or she's dead). Not to mention your gun is going to become "evidence" which means your going to have to surrender it to law enforcement and be tied up in court for years.. maybe loose it altogether?

    Statistics show most people who carry are hurt or killed by there own weapons. I firmly believe in your right to bare arms. But I see no reason to carry a weapon. Better to learn to be observant. I have delivered in pretty much very major city in the country and I really do not have problems in any of them.

    Your attitude contributes to your safety or lack there of more than anything else. I go in and out of Watts, Compton, East LA, Vegas, etc... It your attitude that will get you into trouble and if that is the case more often than not a weapon is going to be a catalyst to a bad situation.

    Don't be a victim, but don't act like a jerk either. Driver tend to get out of there trucks with a attitude that the world owe's them something because they choose to be a driver. Get over it and most of your problems will disappear on their own.

    Ya and if u shoot someone, youd better be backed up into a corner and your life in immediate danger. ie He has a big fkn weapon, hell bent on u dyin. And if you dont want him to sue you make sure you aim for the head

    i agree /\...altho, ppl who get hurt with their own weapons shouldnt have been carrying them in the first place. It has been said that it takes a certain temperment to carry..

    If your going to pull a weapon be prepared to kill, its not a toy and it is not going to magically clear up a bad situation. And it is true it is better to have only one person telling the story. I ll certainly bring the situation to a close, but if you hesitate it will be the other guy telling the story. And this is one you only lose once.
