Because a cop is too hard to conceal.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Because I'm a racist...I don't want to give my stuff to oppressed people.
Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.

I'm 80. Too old to fight and too fat to flee.

I'm 80. Too old to fight and too fat to flee. Pretty much the same here. An old guy, who lives in our neighborhood, merged on to I-80 and scraped a pickup being driven by some very important person who owned the right lane. They stopped and the VIP started beating the geezer who was not able to defend himself. Several other drivers had to stop and pull the azzhole off. I don't intend to hit another car if I can possibly avoid it - but - I'm not gonna' let some bastard pound on me because he's having a bad day.

If you carry as many years as I have, you can't leave home without a gun or your going to be lopsided.
All This! And the circus too?

First time I ever even heard the term carjacking my sister ( from Detroit ) had to explain it to me and a friend. We literally laughed out loud ....Try that schitt here and I would be easy to find...inside the perimeter of bodies...

Brother was attempted carjacked once in his Jeep. Grabbed a gear and it was a non-issue. Funny that.

Because there are real bad people out there. Way stronger than me. And real bad animals too. Loose pit bulls, hogs, and the like. Being armed is just a necessary evil.

Because I can....... . If you carry as many years as I have, you can't leave home without a gun or your going to be lopsided.  I've always compared it to having a spare tire.. NOT having one when needed is a mere inconvenience... NOT having a firearm when needed can be fatal...
