I have a double-bladed axe on my back, a longsword in my left scabbard, a shortsword in my right scabbard, and a dagger in my boot.

Oh, and a crossbow under my pillow.

I have a bat in my car, along with a tire-wrench. Big Police-Type Mag-lite underneath the Driver's seat.

As far as walking around, I'm big enough and know how to handle myself that I'm really not worried. No use in running through life scared.

I'm also too young to legally carry a concealed firearm.

I have firearms. Sorry, I can't answer your question.

Oh, and I love how people assume that those of us who own firearms are scared of something...:roll:

I have legs, they run fairly well.

I, like most people, don't spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about ways to defend myself from situations that rarely arise, nor do I feel like spending $500 on a gun to defend my wallet with $40 in it.

i live in a town with a crime rate thats 3% of the national average, i don't worry about it to much. although sometime when i'm somewhere else in the sate i really with i had a CCW. I was in Lynn, MA a few weeks ago and that place is scary at night. The nicest looking building in the city is a funeral home.

despite what the lying NRA would tell you, the vast majority of Americans don't carry firearms

if your reason for having a firearm to 'carry around with you' is for self defense, you are sad, unless you happen to live in a really crappy area.

Common sense.

And if you don't carry firearms because you're afraid of being attacked why do you carry them?

Meh. Better to have one and not need it, than to need it and not have one.

No one needs a gun for self defense. Even though I don't think people need a gun for self defense, I still don't support a gun ban.

Luck, the will of God, and my brain.

If I find myself in that extremely unlikely scenario that only a gun could get me out of, well tough luck for me.
