During the 5 years that I've openly carried in Colorado Springs I've never been asked - " Why do you carry a gun?"- and I've open carried pretty extensively. I've never been confronted by any inquiring mind other than the older fellow that recently rather dryly remarked that the contents of my holster looked " like a gun" - to which I responded ....." I sure hope so." He then asked if I was "worried?" - to which I replied ..."Nope." That was the extent of that inquiry.
My response if I am ever asked THAT particular question in a chastising, or condescending manner will be that I CHOOSE to carry a gun just as I CHOOSE to carry a spare tire in my vehicle, pay insurance premiums, and respond to folks who respect my RIGHT to make that choice.
I'll not suffer having my chain yanked, or my forward progress interrupted by some annoying jerk. That pretty much sums up my somewhat brusque disposition regarding these ANTI - Banty roosters & hens. Someone once said that a PICTURE is sometimes worth a thousand words. I try to present a "snap-shot" consistent with the the manner in which I have just explained myself.
