    Sigh...right...they do need to wear clothes otherwise they will get arrested. People usually like to avoid getting arrested. Same with driving on the right side of the road. I assumed you would know this. My bad.
    Again, what law forces you to carry a gun?

    What law forces me to drink water? Carrying a gun isn't a need until it's really needed. And that does happen.

    Legality does not enter into the equation regarding the discussion of need. As said by yourself, a person needs to eat or they will die, even if in order to eat they need to steal food for their own survival. Unless it is actually being argued by yourself that a person does not truly need to eat if their acquisition of food is the result of an illegal act.

    There is no law forcing yourself to participate in this or any other discussion unfolding on this forum, and yet the presence of yourself continues regardless of this absence of legal obligation or compulsion to actually do such. The presence and interactions of yourself are deemed important enough to be continued as if they are indeed needed due to a legal requirement, despite there being no actual evidence of such actually being the case.

    The absence of a legal requirement to perform a specific action, does not mean there is no need to engage in such an action regardless.

    The simple fact that no substantiation has actually been presented on the part of yourself is little more than an indicator of knowing that the argument being presented by yourself cannot actually be proven as fact. If it could indeed be proven as fact that no private citizen is in need of carrying a firearm while going about their daily routine, such substantiation would have been done long ago at the start of this disagreement. But such was not done, indicating their is no proof to support the position of yourself.

    None of course. Seems you missed the point.

    Blah blah blah. Carrying is a choice. You know this. Grow up.

    As usual you have your head up your backside. I’ve already stated several times within this thread that people are free to carry all they like but it’s just something I don’t care to do.

    Keep in mind that if you shoot and miss him/her and they fire back and kill you, the chances are they will not be charged with murder or manslaughter since they can make the claim that they were defending themselves unless they were aiming the gun at you while entering the store.

    What does that have to do with anything? It's a persons CHOICE to carry. Especially for you...as you stated you don't go to places you deem risky. So clearly you don't put yourself in risky situations. Therefore if you still carry it's by choice and not necessity.

    Then actually go about proving such, rather than merely claiming such.

    In the same sense one can choose to either abide by the law or break the law?

    I have. You just don't want to admit it's your CHOICE to carry a gun. Not sure why you can't admit it. It's not a bad thing. I CHOOSE not to carry. You CHOOSE to carry. Why is that so hard of a concept?

    Well sure...but it's typically scumbags who choose to break the law. Is this who you want to align yourself with? I suspect not.

    It has not actually been demonstrated by yourself that no private individual needs to carry a firearm while going about their daily routine. It has been repeatedly claimed, but never proven. Until such time that actual evidence is presented, it is nothing more than the opinion of yourself.

    Ultimately what is being stated is that the word of yourself is not good enough, and the claims presented by yourself do not amount to actual proof. Pray tell, why is such proving to be such a difficult concept to comprehend?

    You feel you are being forced to carry a gun and I feel it's your choice to carry a gun. Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

    Like I said before, it's a choice that can result in a necessity. When you really need a gun, it's better to have a gun than not.

    There are times when one of these would be helpful, like in North Carolina right now, but I wouldn't use it for everyday transportation even though I could choose to.

    so is Diane Feinswine, Chuck Schumer and so was Hitler, Stalin and Mao. BFD. If you are pro gun why are you constantly arguing with pro gun rights posters rather than the gun banners?
