>>342005I bought a Beretta 9mm after accepting the reality I'd became a father.
And could very seriously be expected to protect my son and old lady at some point.
I carry it in my car when I travel because I've noticed a rising level of road rage in my prior state/city of residence.
Or if I'm going catfishing at night with a old co-worker of mines. Who after serving over 7 years in the US Army, and participating in the beginning of both our wars has begun to give zero fucks about firearms sensibilities, and will gladly carry either a Tazer, Sig 226, or an M4 he assembled to resemble his duty weapon.
And, he does the same thing I do. Carries in his vehicle when he's headed out of town with the wife and kids.
That's your typical gun-merican.
Protecting family & land from bullshit.
