I'm just looking for your guys' two cents on daily carry, concealed or otherwise. I mentioned before that I'm about as liberal as they come - with the exception of gun laws, gun control, etc.
I'm ambivalent when it comes to this topic. I do have my concealed carry license, but I have yet to carry in public. On one hand it seems impractical, on the other hand it seems necessary. I found this somewhere on the internet, just thought I'd share.
Also, when you carry publicly, do you carry with a magazine in, and one in the chamber? Or just a magazine in and not one in the chamber? I'm asking because I'm not sure I trust the safety on my Taurus :redface:

I don’t carry a gun to scare people, I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place
I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid, I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t carry a gun because I am a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then callsomeone in to clean up the mess.
