Another great thing is that you don't need a firearm on US soil in peacetime.
That's because people like me are protecting US soil so you don't have to carry a firearm. USN 1999 to 2003, USS Florida SSBN-728 and USS Asheville SSN-758.
You're welcome for your freedom. Now please leave your toys at home.
HAHA, dude. You are delusional. The army and navy isn't going to save you when 3 soulless thugs bust through your front door, rape your women and then shoot you all in the head. They aren't going to save you from the armed robber with nothing to lose who busts into the gas station you're in and starts shooting.
Don't need a firearm, my as*. Like I said, you are delusional and sheltered. I don't care if you spent a few years in a submarine. Go talk to a cop who's spent a few years out in the streets, he will tell you that every law abiding citizen should be carrying a pistol. Cops don't usually save people, they clean up the aftermath. When seconds count police are minutes away, and the navy is days away, lol!
I travel all the time for work so I may be interpreting this in the wrong way, but you bring your rifle with you out of town? Oil guy? It's hard for me to imagine bringing any of my rifles on trips with me.

I think it would be fun for you to post this same thread in the Canadian, Australian or British threads, OP.
I mean, here in the US, you're just preaching to the choir. It's so predictable. You'll get FAR more interesting responses in the Non-US threads as to what people think of you carrying a gun/rifle everywhere you go. Take my word for it.
We get e-mails and phone calls many times a year......wanting my husband to bring his rifles to Canada......and spend money.
He thinks a firearm is a toy, says all we need to know about the mentality of the post.
My 30.06 is under the backseat of my truck, as I type.
My .38 goes back and forth to the house and the truck. It rides in the unzipped soft case, with the handle protruding, in the gap between the seat and center console. Holds it just like a holster. Read when needed.
I do not fly, because I cannot take my .38. I drive.
We go all over the USA like this.
I had to fly for my dads funeral. When I got to my dads home town, my uncle gave me a .44 revolver to pack, while I was in town.
Be Prepared, is a motto I have lived by since I was young. Not just about my protection.

I always kept a 12-guage in the trunk of my '68 Ford Fairlane when I lived in Nebraska. Even when I attended high school. After school a bunch of us would hunt pheasant or quail on some nearby farm for a couple of hours, with the property owner's permission of course. If we were lucky, we would bring home dinner before our parents got home from work. I was 16 at the time, and I had already been hunting for 8 years. Some of my friends started hunting even younger than I.
Hunting is a very big part of the culture in a lot of small populous States, like Nebraska, the Dakota's, Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, etc.

Add Michigan....hunting is a HUGE part of the economy.

True. As well as Wisconsin, Missouri, Alabama, Texas, and many other States that have large rural areas. I have also done quite a bit of hunting in California. Although, not in the last 40 years.

Now, explain to all of us here how the military is going to protect us from muggers, rapists and home invaders.

They don't, the police do that, but you also don't need to carry a firearm around for that. You can keep it locked away at home like a responsible gun owner would do. If someone pointed a gun at me demanding my wallet, they would have to be close enough to take my wallet, which means I would attempt to give it to them and see if they go away. If they still don't, then I would push the gun aside and defeat them using Taekwondo. I studied it in high school for two years, and I used it outside of the studio against bullies (the bullies were not subject to UFC rules or the rules of sparring in martial arts). I don't need a firearm to defend myself. There are those who do, and that's what the 2nd Amendment individual right to bear arms is for.
I know some will argue about tyrannical government or whatever, but this 2014. Unless you're prepared to say that individual civilians should be allowed to have nuclear weapons, the 2nd Amendment is about self defense.
