    When have I said that?

    Instead of justo owning a gun, people praise the 2nd amendment like it’s the second coming of Christ.

    Friendly advice, you should watch what you say about my country and our constitution.

    Even as F'ed up as our politics and other things are right now, there isn't a better place to be from. Not even Americas Hat.

    I think I'd rather try to explain to police why I had a gun than have the police explain to my family that I didn't have any gun for protection. Criminals don't follow rules, there's no reason why we shouldn't feel safe while at work and paying taxes to fund social programs for the very people we need protection from.

    I've always found it interesting how the USA is bad mouthed. I've had many friends from all over the world but have only known a few people who left here to go some place else. Only exceptions being to come here, make money and return home to retire.

    I have carried in a truck for over 30 years.
    But I have never been a company driver.
    Most states have reciprocity with my states CCW. When in IL and commiefornia
    I lock the ammunition and fire arm in separate safes.
    I do not go to the north east or north west
    No farther East then Ohio, Washington and Oregon can stuff it.
    With that said some prisons I have delivered to have allowed me to check the fire arm in as well as military posts retrieved when I left.
    otherwise I don’t advertise

    Carry a flare gun if you really feel you need a handgun. Point one at someone and it's guaranteed to get 100% of their attention. Far as I know flare guns are legal in all states.

    If you DO have to pull the trigger, a flare gun is no joke. They can kill.
