"I'm going to be honest with you that behind actual criminals with guns, people whose paranoia has brought them to the point were they feel they need to carry don't sit well with me."

The great thing is that it doesnt matter how it sits with you. Until its YOU that is raped or robbed and unable to protect yourself or your child, you will just have to accept the fact that its not paranoia...its simply comprehending that bad guys ARE out there and today might be the day their path crosses yours.

In my case, I'm prepared to protect my wife and my grandson. Hopefully if its you thats attacked and you and your family is in danger, one of us paranoid types is around to save your arse....
