    yep. I carry all the time. Contrary to what you will hear, there is NO law against it. I do have a concealed carry permit. I do however keep an eye on the states reciprocity laws that I travel through. Also, I do not go to any northeastern states as they are unfriendly to gun owners.

    tire thumpers are legal and easy to use. I tried one out in Alabama one night. the poor guy thought he was gonna die! and all I did was point it at the center of his chest and I'll be darned if he didn't run right into it. :)

    Yea, I always have my protection with me. I pay attention to what is going on around me. I keep my witts about me, and have never need a gun or a club because I simply am no going to put myself in that situation.
