Preaching Fear to Justify Gun Ownership

Posted on the 03 August 2011 by Mikeb302000
Mike W. is preaching the fear doctrine again.  I can't figure him out really.  Is he actually this fearful and paranoid, or is it all an elaborate justification for the gun ownership and concealed carry activity.  What do you think?  It seems to me that many of these guys originally get guns because of some unreasonable fear or insecurity, then convince themselves of the necessity.  As time goes by, it's hard to see what came first.
We are always told that certain places are "safe places" and are hammered with the inane question, "why would anyone need to carry a gun in insert place here?"
The reality is that there are no safe places.  A man tried to rob two women on the sidewalk in front of a police station.  The man threatened to kill them but was unarmed.  If he hadn't been bluffing and had decided to make good on his threat the police sitting inside a few yards away wouldn't have stopped him.
You are on your own.  You and you alone are responsible for your own safety.  When the shit hits the fan make sure the person with a gun & capable of stopping the poo is you. Remember, there are no safe places.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
