people have always carried guns on them. since the very beginning of this country. back in the day you didnt need no damn permit. and the bad guys didnt mess with you BECAUSE THEY FIQURED YOU WERE ARMED... when the took that right away from us is when all the problems started. then only bad guys had the guns..they knew no citizen would break the law and carry a gun.. so they had a field day...ive carried a gun most of my adult life and for a long time i didnt have a permit. didnt care what the law said.still dont.and ive had to pull it a few times and had to use it a couple of times.it has saved my life and defused a few situations.ive not been a model citizin but ive have been a hard workin man and a good father and husband.and i will kill you with no qualms if you threatin me or my family.or try to steal from me. i will deal with the aftermath of my actions later. but in the mean time im still alive and you are dead.thats how i feel, but i hope and pray i never have to go thru that shit again.i have never felt bad for the one who got shot messin with someone,but i have felt bad for his family.because loosing a member in the family is bad but loosing one while hes being a bad guy has to hurt that much more.
