    Never needed a reason to gather food. Turns out I can protect my home also. Just because you wear a suit, and are different than me don't really matter to me. I never asked you to like me, just respect what I do.

    Which just goes to show that, just because they wear a badge, doesn't mean they know the law.

    Yet we are certainly supposed to.

    Too many take a cop's word as gospel and think that, because they carry a gun, they are experts.
    Hardly.

    Sure the stance may be understandable, but do you really think the nutjob that has an axe to grind is going to give a crap about policy or laws? That's why gun-free zones are such a joke. All that does is let said nutjob know he will face no resistance.

    You can't protect your wife, or yourself. Really. Leave my safety in the hands of Canada to protect me. I come from Texas. I Leave my insurance in a bus locker. Don't know who told you I'm stupid, but they were wrong. A2 is my bible. Please someone explain why living in a truck, without a gun, has to do with protecting their family. Drug dealers, rip off coke heads. They have guns. I go back to Texas with a load. Even odds, God made us smarter than them, we have guns.

    Is why I do not personally approve of "no weapons" policies in the workplace. Unfortunately, just about every workplace has them. If you want the paycheck on a regular basis, you abide by the policies and work on your "duck and cover" skills.

    "Gun Free" zones should be outlawed. It's incredibly stupid to not only prevent people from having the ability to protect themselves and each other, but to blatantly advertise such to the passing savage.

    Never tell anybody watch your hualing. Any one that asks that desrves a good lye. Card bord, recycled paper. Anything that doesn't sell good on the street. What ever you want.
