    The Nation We Live in

    So a couple of buddies and I went to go see Zero Dark Thirty ( great movie from what I have seen). Interesting when I say what I have seen right?

    Well we were through about 85% of the movie, and all of a sudden the emergency alarm goes off. I say emergency alarm because that what is says now, not a fire - but an emergency. Instantly I think WTF is going down. I grab my blade that I carry all the time and have it ready.

    What has it come to? I mean 5 years ago we would have just thought oh well a fire drill or something like that... now its like OK what is happening and how can I defend myself.

    I dont have a CCW permit and never really thought I wanted one, but last night really made me think about getting one. (not that I could carry in the theater legally anyways).

    Just stuff to think about, something that really came out of nowhere for me.

    Things are crazy right now man, I completely agree! I think everyone should think about personal safety and protecting themselves. As our horrendous, limit the power of the people gov't passes stricter gun laws, we as citizens are going to be less effective against criminals and terrorists, in addition less effective in over throwing an unjust gov't. I know I may sound ridiculous to some, but remember how we won the Revolution, militia and the 2nd amendment was put in there so we can have a "well regulated militia" and have the means "to over throw an unjust government". just thought to consider. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts..

    Jon, its scarey in NY with the new legislation. Whats more, NY is the hardest to get a CCW and doesnt honor any other states license. But those who dont abide by the laws have the ability to do as they please with no way for us to protect ourselves..

    Better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6...

    I carried in NC LONG before they got CCW - I didn't get my first permit 'til I was 32, but I've had one ever since. I'm a big guy, so I'm partial to carrying a 1911, mainly because I can... but i also have a couple of pocket .45's & a Taurus 605... just so I can pocket carry even on a moment's notice, if necessary.

    I have my CCW and I only carry when I am going into a location that gets me on edge (Philadelphia has many of these). I only carry a Ruger SR9 (9mm). I don't find it necessarry to carry a high caliber handgun for every day carry. The power of a 9 and even a .22 will protect you when needed.

    I do not carry all the time but I understand why people do.
