Pls, delete.
I forgot to hit the Poll Option, and can’t delete the Thread as I get an Error message.
Thanks.
So much for a Poll, but heres my response, I would and I do. It is legal for concealed carry where I live, although it should not have to be a privilage, after all the bearing of arms is a right. Regardless of what the Liberal/Socialists think or say. 
I would if I could.
No. I would never carry a gun. Why? The golden rule.
If I carry, I am saying hey everybody, you should carry too.
I have red many books, such as Bill Jordan’s “No Second Place Winner” and Col. Atkins “Unrepentant Sinner” that describe times when men fought oftern with their firearms, and it sounds horrible.
No guns for me, thanks.
To carry a gun
I would and do. 
I don’t and it is.
No, never, and besides, guns are a false sense of security

Or something like that.Stay out of bars and dark alley’s otherwise.
He taunts from a weapon free Canada.(Yea,right)Except for police and armed forces…
Gun Carry Poll
I could.
I don’t.
I used to, when I thought I needed to.
As it turned out, I was right.
Proud to be a Pig!

It’s a right I don’t currently excercise.
I could. I don’t. But, I’m a strong believer of my (and others U.S. citizens) right to do so…if I choose.
I don’t and it is legal here
Because I am a firm supporter of Kant’s categorical imperative. If somebody comes along with a better fundamental moral principle that lets me carry a gun, then I am there.
Can and do…

Thanks for the charicterization. I’m liberal and quite pro-firearm.

Good.

Right, when only one has a gun it’s not called a fight, it’s called a murder. What so much better about only a percentage being armed?
No, never, and besides, guns are a false sense of security
Depends on the person, for many, so are martial arts. I suppose you would oppose martial arts as well for giving people that false sense?
I guess (except for MF) it’s doesn’t matter what you think, you’re unarmed
concealed carry
Can and do,of coarse where I live when I go outdoors, fishing or hunting or whatever I carry as big a piece as I can comfortably pack for the amount of time I’ll be out.Guys on the east coast,I would probably be less comfortable on your streets than I would whereI live. I don’t usually feel the need to carry in the city unless there will be a chance that I may have to defend my family,I like to play as much as the next guy but where their wellfare is concerned, I don’t play. An armed society is a polite society. peace B.B.
I’ve been mugged a few times, and every time I thought to myself - thank god I’m not carrying a gun.
I can and do,I also carry a knife or two. My dad told me “never bring a knife to a gunfight” so I bring a gun to a knife fight instead. If it was not legal, I would do it anyway. I didn’t make the law, and no one consulted me when they made it. I never liked the fact that if you make cash deposits of more than $2500. a week, then you can have full unrestricted carry. So what they’re tellin ya is that your wife and kids aint worth $2500.? What is the price of a human life?
Jerry Love, my appologies for the “characturization” It comes from the fact that as a Conservative/Constitutionalist, I am characturized" as well. I do know some Libs that are pro-gun(god bless them). So no matter what I say about guns and carrying them, there will be some Lib/Socialist that wants to “demonize” me, so I take the opportunity to do to them the same, it’s a two-way street. The closing line is a laugh , we are all armed ( in one form or another) regardless of what I think. 
Ten Tigers-you didn’t make a law and noone consulted you and that’s your argument??? Nobody asked me about the assault laws. Noone asked me about FAA regulations. None asked me about our tort system. I still obey the laws though. The ones I don’t like I do protest and I vote for people that I feel are most likely to change them.
If laws only had application to those individuals who expressly consented to them we wouldn’t need them. Duh.
And as to the $2500 carrying law-I don’t know your jurisdiction and so I don’t know the law much less the legislative intent. But I’d look at it this way-small amounts of money aren’t worth dying, killing or risking your family members lives. The mortality rate is higher for gunowners in a mugging than nongunowners. You can argue it may stop total number of crimes (and alot of those numbers are biased so rather than argue it, I’ll just grant that guns do prevent some crimes) but the mortality rate for gunowners in armed robberies is higher than nongunowners. Personally I think carrying any amount of money isn’t worth dying, killing or risking the lives. Never carry more money than you’d be willing to hand over to keep safe. So I think it’s a dumb law but I think that the interpretation that legislative intent was to say that human life is worth less than $2500 is a bit off base.
Metal Fist, see your point but why not follow the golden rule and not making sweeping judgments like that? yes there will be some that demonize but why stoop to their level? How’s that ever going to produce a dialogue that gets anything done? This is why decent intelligent people on each side actually hate the other. And please stop using the defense that people will demonize you as a justification for the preemptive strike. As a liberal, I didn’t demonize you nor did I see any who did in this series except in response to your post.
I don’t currently own a gun but I plan on purchasing an HK .45 sometime soon. I am definetly going to get as much training as possible. I only feel that I need it in my car and in my house. I usually don’t go anywhere that I would feel the need to carry while just walking down the street. My theory is this: I would rather have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.
myosimka,
I think that Ten Tigers was saying that someone that can show he carries a large amount of cash with regularity can have “full unrestricted carry” in his area. (I’d be interested to see if that includes full auto.) And that he feels his family is worth far more than any monetary amount. And some would argue that it’s a citizen’s DUTY to break certain unjust laws or orders, as our forefathers did. You don’t think it was legal for the colonists to revolt do you? Shouldn’t the Germans involved in The Holocaust have questioned? I have a few african-american friends who feel a great debt to more modern “revolutionaries” like Malcolm X and the Black Panthers.
There is a time to disregard the law and oppose unjust rule, the tough part is deciding…when?
As a gunowner and advocate I will not jump into this conversation as I have found it next to impossible to change a libs mind but I would like to ask a question.
Myosimka,
Where did you exactly get your data when you state that gunowners have a higher mortality rate than nongunowners in muggings.
The whole point of gun/self defense freedom should be left alone, if you don’t want to carry, that is your choice, but leave those alone, which is the majority, who wish to take part in there natural born right to keep and bear arms.
