Scared is the incorrect terminology. I’m not the slightest bit scared. Over a decade of seeing the best and brightest that society has to offer has left me firmly in the camp of eternal pessimism with Brisket.

So he lives in a really dangerous neighborhood where really violent, sketchy people approach him each day and ask if he is in the NFL?  so much so, he has to carry a firearm with him at all times?  I've lived and worked in some rough neighborhoods in South and West Chicago, whenever I saw a large, muscular man...my first thought was, "Hey, considering how crappy this area is...and how much money professional athletes and bodybuilders get paid, I bet that dude is in the League!"  

NFL players don't live in the kinda places where you need a gun on you to leave the house.  Even the practice squad guys.   

So I'm confused as to what access road Applebee's he lives near that he's gotta come heavy.

It’s really not indicative or specific to any one area. It’s that I’ve seen enough of society to realize that an entirely too large portion of it places zero value on human life, has zero interest in resolving conflict in an adult manner, and has a predisposition to wildly overreacting to the most minor of inconveniences. Have you watched the news lately? It’s only Tuesday and I’ve read about a half dozen road rage shootings just this week in Texas. These people are fucking crazy.

What is you carrying a gun going to do in a road rage shooting situation?

I’m partial to the Shawn Michaels Superkick myself, but I haven’t been that flexible since at least ‘03 so I’d probably have to settle for the people’s elbow or the iron claw.

It’s not crazy to carry in Houston. There are times where I feel vulnerable as fuck especially when I have kids and all that fucking gear to load up. The amount of crime right around 59 has been really crazy because it’s such a quick getaway to the freeway.

So nothing? Just trying to establish why you feel the need to be armed all the time. It's a seriously foreign concept to me.

Meh, it's actually decreasing after the COVID crime bump. Being armed isn't really going to put a dent in petty property crime unless you catch the thief red-handed. And, even then as much as I hate thieves, I question if deadly force is worth it.

I don’t do it to try to put a dent in petty theft. I would never step in to stop a petty theft or any thief for that matter. I’m not some fucking victim that’s complaining about being a target, but I don’t plan on being one either. It’s cheap insurance and it’s legal.

I'm not scared of being a victim of a mass shooting. As you mention, it's not a high risk statistically, as is the risk of being a victim of violent crime which is the reason I think it's asinine for people going about their daily business to be armed. How often does the good guy with a gun stop a mass shooting or other violent crime?

Just because mass shootings aren't a huge risk statistically speaking doesn't mean that it's okay to pass out assault weapons like candy. We should strive to be better as a society so that we don't have children in active shooter drills.

You understand nearly all the “mass shootings” in these statistics aren’t committed with “assault weapons”, or no?

Some are, particularly the mass shootings with a big body count. Let's get rid of the assault weapons as a first step. Then let's tackle things like safe storage, closing the private sale loophole, gun registry and red flag laws.

Nah. Let’s actually enforce our existing laws and see if that makes a difference.  And actually take crimes committed with firearms seriously, and not just a chance for a political plea down.

Existing laws that limit gun ownership are unconstitutional. That's now the law.

You don’t find it disingenuous to spout how we are in a gun free for all when there was literally a massive restriction just placed weeks ago? A restriction that affected hundreds of thousands of arms/owners?

So….. the solution is give more angry people easier access to guns because more road rage shootings?

You don't find it disingenuous to say we just need to enforce the laws we have when the laws we have are being overturned as quickly as the court system will allow based upon a radical reinterpretation of the 2nd amendment by the Supreme Court last summer?

It’s like all the news reports about the new ultra high security measures put in place at Uvalde schools. That’s cool and all, but what are the chances there’s two whack jobs in a town that size? The chance of a second school shooting is minuscule. Of course the fact that all the LEO’s in that area are straight up pussies may bring in some outside creeps.

I get what you're saying, but it kind of missing the point of the reason for needing ultra high security measures. Imagine living in a society where those measures aren't needed and we could use those funds for educating children.
