>>1177964>You're paranoid and afraid of death.I disagree. You carry a first aid kit because you might get injured/sick, rain gear because hypothermia sucks, and water purification because giardia blows floppy donkey dicks. All these things can save your life when your /out/, does that mean you're "paranoid and afraid of death" for carrying them? A firearm falls along the same lines of reasoning as the above, you carry a firearm because something might decide it wants you dead and people generally like living.
