Firearms and Other Weapons Had a request for this forum, so here it is. Guess it will give me some place to talk about guns myself after selling my ArmsLocker forum.

Default SOooo let's please try and not trivialize the thought.

I suspect the standard response will be something like, "I don't leave home without one", SOooo let's please try and not trivialize the thought.

Having lived in Brooklyn (as a kid) and then Long Island (as a teen and young adult and later a matured adult) I can't help from having to admit that I felt safer there, even though carrying guns were taboo, and practically never allowed to be enjoyed by the regular citizen. Crime stats notwithstanding (FL better than NY) I feel remiss if I am on the road; driving, walking, jogging, bicycling, whatever... without my equalizer. Even in the house! I have it on me!

Am I alone?

No, not at all. I have a gun on my hip right now, and am rarely without one within arm's length.

I am from Long Island, went to Brooklyn College. I sure as hell didn't feel any safer on LI or Brooklyn when I lived there...First of all, you didn't have a choice in NY, you had to give up your first born to get a carry permit...Check out the crime in East NY, Flatbush, bedford Sty...I carry all the time, whereas in NY, you were at a felons mercey if you weren't armed...

Not wrong at all. The saying goes something like "better to have and not need then to need and not have".

I look upon carrying a firearm as a life insurance policy that is only in effect if you carry it on your person and have it available exactly when you need it.
