After much thought on having a small arm in my home for protection , I have gone and put the wheels in motion for a permit.  I happen to live in one of the 5 counties of NYC.   I don't have to tell you the BS and cost It of all, but I know in the end it will be worth it.  There have been too many break ins and robberies in my area.  Most of it has to do with DRUGS.   I happen to live in a good  area ,   but criminals steal where the money is.   I have 2 more years left before I move upstate and am free from all NYC BS!   It still cost me alot of money even though I have a permit for long arms.  I do have a 20 gauge pump but my wife is not comfortable with it.    Most of my neighbors clueless about what goes on here.   I always talk to the police in my area and even they will tell you they can't always be every wear all the time.

Carrying is costly, inconvenient, uncomfortable, and a huge responsibility.  I just wish those of us that do would get some credit for doing the right thing rather than being perceived as kooks and nuts.  I can't remember who said it, but I recall a quote something like "All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for the good to do nothing".  My brother was a cop - we don't pay law enforcement enough to lay their lives down for us.  I hope I never have to use a gun for anything but recreation, but am prepared if I must.  Thank you to all of you that do carry, and I for one feel safer because you're out there.

 I am totally with Pappy and His train of thought...I carry everywhere....I am a firm believer in the Second Amendment....I carry a Kimber Crimson Carry....my Wife totes a Ultra Crimson Carry.....but until She was sure of Herself with an Automatic....She carried Her Ruger GP 100....a Double Action Revolver has no Safety to remember to take off No Jams...Double Stacks....Stovepipes...just point and pull the Trigger...but like Nate and a few have said...If you are not well practiced....and ready to use the weapon to protect yourself...take someone elses life to save your own....and be prepared for the Psychological and Legal Consequences... then you have no business carrying one....JMO

I'm with Pappy and El D. I carry either 9mm makarav around town and a Kimber .45 on long trips.

I have a permit to carry, and do so every day. Either a Wilson 1911 or a S&W 325 pd - yeah, I like the .45ACP. I live in the country, and in this day and age there are WAY too many home invations, plus in the City I work in (Flint, MI) has the highest muder rate in the Country  :o! I pray evry day that I NEVER have to use a gun, but By God I wouldn't hesitate if need be. Bob

im glad i  live in an area that does not  make you feel that you  need to be armed  just to  run down to the corner mkt for some milk. ;D

I live in a really quiet, very rural area where many people never even lock their doors. But a few years ago, two guys on a killing spree came off the interstate and slaughtered five people just up the road from me, including an 11-year old girl that they shot in the face with a shotgun after kicking the bathroom door down. One of my neighbors captured one of the guys at gunpoint after he found him hiding in his yard waiting for a chance to kill him and take his truck. If hadn't had a gun handy, he would likely be dead. You never know what's going to happen, no matter where you live. I prefer to be equipped to deal with it if it happens. I'm armed everywhere that I can be.

I carry myself respectfully. So far, after over 60 years, that's all I have ever needed!  ;)
Im with Pat on this one. I worked as a police officer for a number of years and respect will get you a lot farther than a gun. The probability of needing a gun increases significantly if you carry one.  8)

 I hear you Steve...ain't no place safe any more....My Father ....a lifetime Peace Officer....told me a long time ago...and I still believe him....if you depend on the Police to protect you in a life and death situation.....you are going to be dead before they get there....so I must  disagree....anyone that believes they can live safely in todays society without knowing how to use deadly force ....is living in a Fairy Tale World.....sorry but with I have been through and seen. with my own eyes....this is my honest feeling on the subject

Mike, I'm the same way. I have been in a couple tight spots before. One time, I was armed but able to pull into a police station and get the police to stop the guy who had been chasing me in his car. There are nuts out there and if it was not for the police being right there, I doubt it would have ended well.

I think I would rather have it on my person and never need it than be without out it and in desperate need of one.
