You got me! I confess!
It was tongue-in-check.
I should of added "...ready to come to the rescue or protect myself".
I was giving the "standard" answers that people give as to why they conceal carry pistols. I get that people have different levels of risk, fear, probability, etc... and I don't want to get into an argument over whether their reasons are valid, or arguments that pivot on "if you need just once it's all worth it". There's many valid points to both sides.
....but when you study those arguments, how come people don't walk around strapped with fire extinguishers too?
When out in public, I've come upon a lot more situations in my life (car fires, etc..) where I've needed a fire extinguisher than a pistol.
There's been threads on TBN that show how people mount their rifles on their tractors (or chainsaws, etc...). Personally , I often find myself needing a chain more often than an AR. At the end of the day, do what you want if it makes you feel better. :drink:
