    Okay I guess. I personally like just being able to live my life without almost getting shot every couple of hours. I have a friend who basically sounds exactly like you and lives in Texas, he also told me that he hears gunshots around him like multiple times a day. Forgive me but that doesn’t sound particularly appealing.

      I live in Florida and if you call Animal Control, they laugh and hang up. Police arrival times during the day peak at 45mins and extend to 1:30mins once the day shift goes home and our county is under the watch of 4 cops from 2 districts over who already are capped out because Florida Man loves making Headlines. I hear shots go off all the time. but its not like gaza and israel. its just wide, open expansive areas that house like 10 families across 300 acres.

      most of us are armed because of the wild life. Alligators 13ft large cross my yard some rainy days. Snakes of all makes and models, wild boar are truly terrifying to come upon not armed. and yeah. if someone came after me, having a gun will make little difference, but. im not arming for people, the same way an officer in the military carries one. Why do they do that if they aren’t fighting?

      you have nothing to be sorry for or to be forgiven. you enjoy a certain style of life and have the where with all to appreciate it as a non violent bastion of society. No one chooses where they are born but we try to make do. Carrying a weapon for us, is making do.
