When I was around 13 yrs old, I used to go hunting at my uncle's farm of the far end of town. I'd tie a 20 ga pump on the back of my bicycle, ride right down main street, stop at the hardware store and pick up a box of cartridges if I needed them, and no one thought a thing about it.
Somewhere along the way, a gun went from being a simple tool to the absolute device of evil. I still view them as a tool, and some people as evil, but I'm living in the past.
Personally, I've never been unarmed, and find myself rather well armed at the moment. Just being prudent. Even though I have a permit, I don't carry one, and certainly have no desire to shoot anyone. But I do believe that anyone who wishes should own one, and be comfortable with it.
After all, when you need them the most, the police will be at the coffee shop,
