Reply #203: Did I say that? I think not [View All]

It's called reality testing, not precognition. Obviously, one would be justified in carrying if one had been receiving credible threats, or one had no choice in frequenting known "war zones". However, going out to dinner with the family or meeting friends for a drink in the neighborhood bar or attending church services is more than a tad over the top.
Reasonable, rational people tend to behave rationally. Strapping on a firearm as routinely as wearing shoes, when venturing forth is neither reasonable, nor rational. You appear to be a rational gun owner, who does not practice this behavior for the very reasons I mention above. You seem to enjoy arguing for argument's sake. Either you take the side of the nutters for the sport of it, or, as you have previously stated, your motives are purely political, in that you think honest debate about this issue may be detrimental to our Party's election chances, which I don't buy, as you well know.
