Guns banned in Michigan State Capitol.

[TaraJo]

Possible that I'd need one.  I think it's more likely that I'd find myself in a situation where I need a car or money or a fully charged cell phone or a cheeseburger or a flashlight or a condom or a pair of gloves or a screwdriver or any number of other, random items.


That being said, if, as you've admitted, you probably won't need one, why do you carry one?

Same reaon I carried a flare pistol, whistle, VHF radio, life jackets and an hand bilge pump in my sailboat.

I probably would never need them - and indeed didn't.

But I would never leave the dock without them. 

I don't question your methods.

Why do you question mine?

Because your methods tend to be more likely to result in someone innocent being shot.  

I had a roommate who was the so-called "responsible" gun owner and she wanted to carry her gun with her everywhere.  Just in case she needed it.  She had a friend who pulled it on me because I caught her stealing from me.  Yeah, guns are dangerous and so are people who obsess over them.
