GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[aussiefriend]

I have to be honest, if I lived in the US I would carry a firearm. If I was rich, I would have security protect me, but as I am not, I would definitely carry a firearm. I've watched the crime and investigation channel, I know the risks. There are some sickos out there, and you never know.

I live here and never felt the need to carry a firearm, Aussie. You can travel the country pretty peacefully without worrying about someone killing you. Sure you don't want to be in certain places late at night, but I've walked around in big cities without ever fearing for my life. All these mass shootings, however, are becoming ridiculous and I don't even know what to say about that.

I know what you are saying, it's kind of buying into something that you don't really want to be a part of. I am a very friendly person and talk to people all the time, I know if I went to the US I would be making friends at every turn. I have heard you are a friendly chatty bunch, it's only the worst of the worst on the Crime and Investigation channel that freak me out.

So yeah I say I would, but probably wouldn't, but I would need some sort of protection, because I can attract the wrong sort of attention too. Cuts both ways.
