I read this forum from time to time and sometimes I just laugh my ass off at some of the social and political crap some of some of you spew. As a life long gun owner (I received my first rifle on my first Christmas when I was but 6 months old) I just have to wonder where some of you live and just exactly what goes through your respective minds with some of the things that are said. Let me clue you in on a secret - If you have been pulled over 157 times (1) you Are A Fuc##ng MORON!!!!! (2) If a police officer drew his sidearm - YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG - NOT THE OFFICER!!!!! These guys do NOT draw on someone unless provoked! I am calling you an outright liar..... You are full of CRAP if you say a cop put a loaded gun to your head for just speeding....and if he did what else did you do????? My father was a true old school salesman. From the early fifties to the late 70's he drove almost 200,000 miles a year. He always carried a handgun (and still does) and to my knowledge the only time he ever needed to unholster it was in Toronto after he had long retired in 2001. There is a reason that the worst crime rates are in large urban cities. There are larger populations and almost without exception they also have the most restrictive gun laws. It is illegal to own a handgun (Or a long gun for that matter) in the District of Columba, yet they are consistently in the top three in murder rates. Why? Because the only ones who now have the guns are the ones who mean to do you harm. And as someone who has in-laws that are Canadian nationals, Canadians are without a doubt THE most Racist people I have ever met - without exception. But at least they are consistent - they hate Everybody.

As a business owner that deals with a fair amount of cash, I carry a sidearm always. And have never needed it to date. I have been driving for almost 40 years and can count the number of times I have been pulled over on two hands. I think that some of you need to rethink what you do and how it may effect others around you.
