The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You view your fellow citizens as a threat, which is why you have a gun. - 1pg

------------------------

You are wrong about that. I don't view fellow citizens as a threat at all. However I do view criminals as a threat. One way to tell the difference is that a law abiding citizen will not be breaking into my home or attempting to harm a me or a family member or an innocent civilian. If fact, I am safer to the extent there are more citizens who will to come to the aid of another citizen under attack because the police cannot be everywhere and when they do show up, it is usually to investigate a crime that has already occurred.

The only thing I have to fear from fellow la abiding citizens in general is that too many of them want to take away the ability for me to defend myself and my family.
