Because I like knowing that I am ready in case something goes down. Also, I feel good about myself not only because of my own protection but it is a form of public service. And becuase I love Reservoir Dogs.

Then what is it really about then Cortland?? Not really intending to be a troll, but your final question was why do you carry, but now you say it's not.Cortland wrote: So then, why do you carry?
I carry because it might be the other guy's turn to die. Enough reasoning for me.

I carry because I have a family that I like and they like me and they want me to come home every day and I do everything I can to oblige them. Carrying a gun is one way to effectively manage problems that might prevent me from coming home to them at the end of the day.

Cortland,
Methinks some are trying to one-up you by posting whacked crazy s--t that actually happened.
One of the nice security guards where I worked - controlling access to the building and keeping the occupants safe - had grabbed a little girl off the street one day, abused her, killed her, took her to work, and stuffed the body in the HVAC cooling tower where it was discovered three years later in advanced decay requiring DNA testing to confirm identity.
That sick F--k supposedly provided my building "security".
And was supposed to leave kids alone.
I worked there.
I have kids.
I'll provide my own security.

I carry because I work in a prison and I don't want any of our 'former residents' on the outside to see me and feel they have to exact some kind of revenge on me
I want to go home safe at the end of the day and see my family. I want to be in one piece. If the time comes where I might need to use it, I want the other person to have the chance to die for their cause. If they feel messing with me will help them achieve that goal, I'll be happy to oblige!!

In a crisis you don't rise to the occasion but rather default to your level of training!
