Your argument that you shouldn't need to wear a gun if you feel safe in a small town is a false argument. It's not for a specific threat, but there for the "just in case".

But it's not a "false argument". There were about 30 thousand gun deaths last year and about 20 thousand were suicides. That leaves about 10 thousand homicides, the vast majority of which were committed in high crime urban areas through gang violence. In fact, gang violence in urban areas account for about 80% of all gun related homicides.

You can certainly open carry a gun in your rural texas town "just in case" and i'll buy meteor insurance "just in case".

In a small town area, I'm not expecting any type of situation, so I carry open and comfortable

You still open carry a gun even when your "not expecting any type of situation"?

Ok.

I pray often that I never have to use it, but I would never be able to live with myself if that rare day came and I was unable to do anything to protect my life or the lives of those around me. So I stay prepared and vigilant.

2013 to 2017 montgomery texas has had.....

Zero murders
Five rapes
Four robberies
Nineteen assaults

The population is about a thousand people.

How "prepared and vigilant" do you really need to be in Montgomery texas? Nothing happens there.

Oh and i'm perfectly fine with anyone open carrying a pistol. I don't care. I'm just waiting for someone to cough up a good reason for doing it.

quote:
The reason for carrying a gun in the first place? Is because I can.

"Because i can" is a social/politcal statement. It's the same reason these "commie liberals" you speak of burn the flag. They do it "because they can". I guess "because i can" is a good enough reason to exercise any right we have.

I'm good with that i guess.
