OkI thought I implied clearly. I don’t. I’m almost 62 now and I simply don’t have the need to where I live. I have two pistols which are candidates a Glock 34 (correction it’s a 35 the .40 version the 34 is a 9mm) which simply isn’t practical and an Sig SP2022 in 9mm which if I ever chose to do so I probably would. The Glock is mine but the Sig is actually the MIL’s first gun it’s just not practical with SA/DA for her it’s too complex and the trigger pull is too stiff in DA mode. She has a much simpler Ruger now. The Glock remains loaded and handy. I just don’t feel the need to do so out in public. Now I have thought about having one on my bass boat which I am at liberty to do should I desire. I can also concealed carry in public should I choose to do so since I live in TX. My bass boat is really the only place I think it might have use.
Now were I suddenly decide to CC most likely I’d go buy a nickel plated Springfield Armory 1911 because I think they are beautiful guns. They don’t offer a nickel plated version currently so I’d be hitting the used market which isn’t that bad with today’s online site offerings. Lots of people think 1911’s are silly CC guns with today’s offerings. I just think they are a classic.
My wife has asked me the same thing. I answered her by asking how many people does she think are armed when we are sitting down at lunch or dinner. She kinda looked nervous when she thought about the answer.
Have you seen the youtube video of the lady that brandishes a handgun in response to a guy fishing off her coastal lot? Claims that's her water and he's not allowed to be there. Guy handles it without provoking and leaves. He then calls the cops and after seeing his video, they arrest her.The belligerent home owner “you can’t fish here I own this part of the lake” retards are my bigger concern. They are ignorant of TX law and live on a lake.
A lot of people get spooled up on wake boards coming in on fishermen. While I don’t like it and realize they can be azzholes it’s a free country and they are free to use the lake just as I am
I’ve seen several videos like that here in TX in local fishing forums. Not resulting in arrest but absolutely brandishing weapons and making threats. I’d love to see the look on they’re faces when authorities explain the actual law to themHave you seen the youtube video of the lady that brandishes a handgun in response to a guy fishing off her coastal lot?

And he should have had his firearm confiscated. It's a felony to posses a firearm during the commission of a crime. But here's the problem. The feds don't really have a place to take them. The jails won't take them.Nearly all right leaning people that are highly critical of Pretti’s killing have universally said he should have been detained and ID’d as a minimum from looking at that video. I commented he owed damages also on top of that.
Hey they had cause! I agree. If anything the second encounter shows a complete lack of consistency in response. Granted I’m glad they are consistently shooting people needlessly in every encounter but…And he should have had his firearm confiscated.

That’s what it looked like to me. It was a protest. It wasn’t violent but he did get hugely out of line. They slapped his ass around and sent him on his way. They even ignored his gun clearly visible in the small of his back. So much for you gotta have a permit. It’s what they should have done on the second encounter too instead of killing him.
Its my understanding he was armed at the earlier encounter. If he had been arrested and charged and had his firearm confiscated, he would have in all likelihood been alive to harass, uh, I mean peacefully protest government officials today. But, alas, the Minnesota government refuses to hold people accountable.Hey they had cause! I agree. If anything the second encounter shows a complete lack of consistency in response.

LMAO reading comprehension much?That’s what protesting looks like to you? He should have been arrested and charged
Any time you spit on someone, that should be an open invitation to have your teeth knocked out.LMAO reading comprehension much?

Both statements are true. And any further attempts at parsing to marginalize will result in the same response.
Yep. Complete inconsistency in response. That isn’t Pretti’s fault that falls on how ICE conducts themselves.Its my understanding he was armed at the earlier encounter.
