    If you forget about carrying your gun, than you are not handling it with the required responsibility.

      Does the average person carry a wallet with their cash, credit cards, and ID? It’s pretty important but 99% of the time you don’t think about it. Or keys to their house?

      If a gun is on you almost all the time, you don’t really notice it until it’s NOT there, then it’s time for concern.

      It’s an important item to keep track of but like a wallet it’s “not there” until you either need it or it’s not there when checking for it.

        The question remains: why would you need a gun at all time?

        A wallet isn’t going to accidentally fire a hole in your foot. A phone isn’t going to murder someone by force.

        Is it really the only way you can feel safe in your own country? Because that only happens in shitholes.

          It’s because people who carry are cowardly cunts regardless of what country they’re in. Though its mostly the US types we hear about doing this shit…

        Gun owners love making analogies to benign things that aren’t guns. If you get so used to your gun that you forget it’s even there, you’re not being a responsible gun owner. Period.

          Lol should I chant to myself when walking my dog? “I have a gun, I have a gun, I have a gun”

          In most cases it IS a benign object. Other than the occasional shooting range it doesn’t leave the holster, I’ve never had to draw it, I’ve never shot it outside of the range. I put it on without thinking about it, it stays on my waist where nobody can see it, I don’t feel it there unless I think about it.

          Agree to disagree I guess, if you wear something every day and forget it’s there that makes you human not an irresponsible person. Unless you forget about it and enter say… and airport terminal, then you’re a dumbass.
