I have no interest in taking your weapon away from you but I am unafraid to go about my life unarmed. I did not get a concealed carry permit until a year ago, don't carry everywhere I go, and don't worry about being unarmed when I do. But history has shown that there are folks that will do innocents harm without reason. I would rather carry a sidearm and not need it, than need it and not have it. If by chance you or your loved ones wind up in a situation where a crazy individual is intent on inflicting harm, I hope someone with the ability to stop them is there and does so. Should that happen, would it possibly change your mind?

I do enjoy going to a range. They are fun toys.

I would disagree that a handgun is a toy.
