According to my Sociology instructor there is no difference between a man exercising his right to carry and self-defense and a thug on the street who carries for street credit.
I am no man but found this subject struck a nerve with me. Most firearm owning men that I have met are very respectful and down to earth.
Of course I threw my hand into the air, declared that I am pro-2nd Amendment and pro-self-defense. I also declared to all of the class that I believe every man and woman should be armed because an armed society is a polite society.
I suppose the intent of this post is to ask you guys (who make up most of this chat) how it feels to have your exercising your right to carry and self-defense equated with being nothing more than an expression of machoness? While us women are not subject to that accusation or critique. That is not to say women aren't critiqued, just in a different way.
Iwill see how my open declaration regardingthe 2nd Amendmment and my stance plays out in my grades :banghead:I need to keep my mouth shut sometimes.
