cops do not have to protect you, nor come to your aid if you call 911. cops are there for the whole of the people, not the individual.

I don't know where you overnight, but normally people try to find a safe hotel/motel areas, where they don't need to fear for their life. A riffle could be justified when visiting some very shady ghetto, or sleeping in a tent somewhere in the wilderness.

crime and invasions of where you are staying can happen anywhere. better to have something to kep you safe than relying on a phone to call 911. better to be tried by 12 than be carried by 6.

I always carry on a weekend getaway. 2 pistols on me, a shotgun in the truck and a magazine fed rifle in my luggage with 8 standard capacity magazines.

He might not aware of the new change of gun law, I would remind him to keep his toy at home.

If we are NOT in gun free zone, carry all he wants. Nothing wrong with it. As long as he is a responsible gun owner, he should do whatever makes him comfortable or happy.


thats the liberal left coast for you. the politicians and cops do not want the individual citizen to have any kind of self defense at all, they would rather have you rely on cops that are never there when you are in the process of getting murdered or raped.

One of the things I like about the AR-15 is that in the non ready, it's in a gear bag, sitting disassembled. It's just another duffel bag in the car........but in under a minute, it can be the rifle.

As far is what's the need, hard to say. For one thing, if the car broke down in the middle of nowhere, I'd rather have the rifle to fire off distress shots than be using the pistol for it. Beyond that, though, well I'll leave it to the individual to decide.

As my CHL instructor once said to the why carry question? "BECAUSE YOU WANT TO AND YOU CAN!".


I think you are just fine Tamara. if you are doing anything wrong, to me it would be that you are not carrying enough.

any reason at all? then that also means you would never date any cop either as they usually carry their firearm when they are off duty. hope you like being dependent on that phone in order to have the cops respond to a crime that might be happening to you, even though the cops do not have to respond at all to your cries for help.

I'd probably be offended if a gun owner didn't at least respect me enough to not inform me that he does have guns in his home.



I don't see any reason why a person has to have more than one gun unless that person is in the military. You are super paranoid if you feel like having all those guns is going to solve whatever problems you think owning many guns is going to solve. I know some people collect guns, and a few have a large collection of guns, but the last time they mentioned there collection, every one of those guns were all disassembled and in a very specific place in there home, door locked, cabinet locked, key always on them, so no one could get into that room. I have more respect for them than I do a person who has 5-6 guns all ready to fire with rounds in each.


if you come into my home, it is not respect for me to have to tell you anything that I have in my home as it is none of your business. if you are that much against firearms, then just do not come to my home at all.


5-6 firearms with cartridges in them? how about 200 firearms with cartridges in all of them, and that is with 2 teen daughters in the home too. better to be prepared than not at all.

you would call me paranoid, but I call myself not having to rely on government for my every need. plus the cops are at least 30 minutes from my home.

maybe to you, to me she sounds just fine. you sound weird to me because you do not even take responsibility for your own safety and get the training and buying a firearm to protect yourself and/or your family. you would rather rely on the cops to protect you when they do not even have to show up at the crime scene.

I wont date a woman who is not going to responsibility for her own safety. that means if she wont carry a firearm, or is not willing to learn, then i do not even have the time of day for her.
