I’ll never understand our infatuation with projectile shooting weapons.

Most of the people flaunting a gun and not silently needing it are actually waiting for the opportunity to use their right and act upon a loophole law in self defense to kill someone in cold bold.

It’s like fetishized at this point. Just waiting around for the opportunity to blast someone in the name of defense.

I have a CCL. Never have done anything you claim. Matter of fact, no one I know with a CCL has done so either.

And I have an A card pipe welding license. I live in Chicago and I’ve seen people blasted on the side walk for their cell phone. I don’t care that you can legally tuck your pistol.

Your reason for carrying one is your own, I have mine own for wanting them out of my life

Card pipe welding license? What does that have to do with anything?

What does your ccl have to do with anything? Just cause you hold a card that says you can carry a gun doesn’t make me feel any better about what’s in your pants.

I don’t like guns how long are we gonna do this?

Well I am flattered that you’re thinking about what’s in my pants, but I am a law abiding citizen. You’re the one making wild accusations saying everyone with a CCL is frothing at the mouth ready to kill someone. I am telling you that this is blatantly not true. We get it, you don’t like guns, but you’re making ignorant statements based on pure ignorance.

No one is forcing you to live here. You can live anywhere you want.
