Another way to approach the question is: Where would you feel safe not being armed and able to defend yourself and family? Church, grocery store, country music concert, school, movie theater? Seems like they would be some of the safest places but all have been targets of shooters. Then there are the businesses with disgruntled employees and fast food restaurants and we have not even started on the list of places that street criminals and druggies target. AT 66 I can't run as fast as I once could but I could never outrun a bullet so it doesn't matter. I carry for self defense because you never know when or where bad stuff may happen. The convenience of having my dispatch weapon on my belt was just a plus.

There are untold, viable reasons above for CC. Here in Nebraska we can open carry with no problems in the western 2/3 of the state.
I went through the training and FBI range test shortly after the permit was available. Nebraska has the most stringent CC laws in the country.
Between the current state of society and doing wildlife control it is very handy to have a firearm available.
I did a tour in Vietnam with the 101st ABN and pray to the good Lord I never have to draw on another human again.

Is that true, you can carry in all states? I bet you cant in NJ and i am sure i have heard of some others that I can not think of. I am sure you can not carry in NJ......jk

My life is as important to my family and to me as any cops life is to his family or or his self. That law should apply to all of us.

I am not stupid so I carry a firearm everywhere, that way I will be able to defend my life with it if I have to do so.....

Living the motto BE-Prepared from tiger to eagle and beyond

so when I walk out the door , My door check is

Wallet , keys , knife , phone , flashlight , gun

I have not needed my gun yet , I have used it a few times they weren't needs but it was handy.

2 neighbors have had their dogs attacked by pit bull and Rottweiler within a couple blocks one in their own yard. one the neighbor was injured as well in that event the dog was killed and she had bites about her hands and wrists the other only the dog was inured.

I live in a small rural town but that doesn't mean a cop hasn't chases a truck thief through my back yard in the middle of the day.

just because where you live is small and rural doesn't mean there isn't major drug trafficking routes right down the state highway through town.

it doesn't mean that the guy down the street isn't dealing , it has happened.

I would rather carry around a few guns over the majority of my live and wear them out than to find once that I needed a gun and didn't have one.

my primary carry gun shows the wear if being carried for the last 9 years

before CCL in WI well there wasn't ever a gun too far away









I had an incident on Wednesday that could have turned out much differently than it did.
My dog was attacked by a neighbors dog, but fortunately the owner of the other dog tackled his dog before I was able to peel my glove off and draw.
I'm so relieved that the situation didn't get as messy as I was prepared to make it.
Does your medical kit include a trauma kit (tourniquet, pressure dressing and chest seals)?


I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.
