A weapon is a tool "be it a firearm, pepper spray, a stick, or a rock” we all use tools every day. We use our gps to find the cash and maybe some of us still use it to find our way home after we get so lost that your toy saves your life, weapons we used much the same they were fist used to preserve life "a rock over the head of a sabertooth tiger" in short you use your gps to get there.......you use your weapon to get back safe. We all hope we never need this tool because everyone knows the outcome when we do but better them than me. As I site here in front of the computer I am thankful that we can talk openly about this stuff with out fear. I am happy to see so may folks ready to do what it takes to take care of them selves, "makes me feel safer" Sorry I ran a little long and maybe too much politics for a gps page but I am 2 months from leaving for basic training, my father spent 20 years in the army and is a veteran of the gulf war, it's kinda important to me if only for what he and others have done for this country, but that just one of many reasons. It's clear to me from a few of the post that not enough folks understand what the majority of us are talking about. But that is not something we can change tonight or any night their will always be those people around, but that is just the same. All I can say is we few who understand what it means to carry a weapon just in case, to stand by what we believe and not lose another inch. It's like with the fire service "a few protecting the many"
Once again sorry for the politics and thank you to all the vets out their you have all my respect if were not for you the world would be a different place.
