Zombie apocalypse must be code for some kind of action or event.
How about the next time I take a dump?

For the same reason I keep car insurance, fire insurance, and health insurance.
Crime Insurance.
Like a good neighbor, Smith and Wesson is right here.
I hear you, and good points.
LEO (pick one): (Speaking in an artificially deep voice, all pumped up) "Sir, I must inform you that it's my job to protect you! I'm trained for it, and well, it's your right, but you should really leave these matters up to us..."
Yes, if you're there. The problem is, when seconds count, you're just minutes away. Don't get me wrong - if it's a heated dispute with a neighbor, you can usually arrive before things get too ugly, but not always. Regardless, I do a pretty good job of working through issues.
When robbers are in and out of a store in 30 seconds, having killed someone inside, or some lunatic starts shooting into a crowd, all that changes. Its over before you can get there. That's why I carry. It's not because it's not your job to protect me. That is your job, but only to a point, and that's where and how you can.
Where and how you can't protect me is my job to protect myself, and that's what I'm doing.
Frankly, I don't want your job. I do want mine.
Unfortunately that does not work in every state, like IL. :banghead::cuss:"am I being detained officer or am I free to go?"....if not...."I am recording this encounter"....the equivalent of....name, rank and serial number ....back in the day.
Be nice, really nice....be firm....think of the LEO as your 4 year old kid being a pain in the back-side while you are trying to change the oil in your car, in your driveway.
Don't get mad....get ahead....later....if you can.
I'm in WI, so I'm good. However, one time I was stopped for speeding and wanted to record everything. Unfortunately, their wiretapping laws are retarded. They are much worse than MD!I feel for ya brother....I really do.
My idea of gun control is aiming with intentions to shoot to kill, one shot, one kill."because the Founders of this great nation saw fit to the enshrining of the inherent right to self-defense against the tyranny of intrusive government."
When was the last time you tried to call 911 and got a response as quick as your own protection? With budget cuts all across America, you must protect yourself. In fact, the state should issue every person over 18, perhaps 21, a gun. Why is it a man can only protect his "castle". He should be able to protect his life and family outside his castle with the same lawful and deadly force.

"Why are you carrying pepper spray?"
I highly doubt that question is asked much. It is because of the bigotry against firearms. But the response is the same nonetheless.
I carry to protect myself against harm.
How about 'to back up my pepper spray'?
Seriously, that's not only a good one, but logical and truthful.
