I carried on me in the mid 90's. No permit. It's a grave realization snd duty knowing that if someone shoots at you and you return fire you might be in prison longer than the shooter.
I've been alive 58 years and no one has shot at me. I don't even think about it when I'm out and about. It must be like being imprisoned to live with enough fear to make you carry a weapon.
Fat Lily...I sleep with a machete, hatchet, and an aerosol can with a cig lighter loosely taped to the side. I don't need a gun to kill a motherfucker from your social clasd.
