Reply to comment by CuriousGeorge__82 in McDonald's to play Beethoven in bid to deter yobs after rampage by Convair101

It is definitely an issue. I live in a pretty rural area. It's relatively safe, but we have our share of gang violence and plenty of guns. I carry a firearm and other items for personal defense daily. I don't like going to other states where firearm carry is prohibited. My permit to carry is good in about 33 states.

I have to travel to NYC soon. No guns allowed for me there... very restrictive knife laws (most locking one-handed opening knives can be classified as an illegal gravity knife through a very tortured interpretation of their law).

Guns have always been part of my life growing up. Going hunting or shooting for recreation at family holidays.

Yeah I get it if guns have always been a part of your life, or you live somewhere rural.

For me it’s something I never think about, because virtually nobody is armed. Not even the police usually. And gun crime is so rare it’s not really a worry for me. I feel bad that you have to worry about it daily.
