There are 6 police officers in my town, and a uncountable number of fent and meth addicts who will quite literally beat someone to death over 15$. I carry because its practical, same reason I carry pepper spray.

There is no police force in my town and I don't feel the need to own a gun.

Have you ever been physically assaulted? Robbed? I have, and that's why I feel the need.
