I have Concealed Carried for a while now, and would like to do more open carry (for political and personal reasons). The issue I have is that I still find myself being worried that everyone is looking at me even while concealed. Is it just a matter of time and it becoming second nature or is this something that is likely to just nag me? The funny thing is that while I am in uniform I don't even think twice about carrying anything, even the big guns they are just part of me. Go figure.
I really feel like a chicken sh%# for even admitting that, but I would love to know who those of you who have more experience feel.
Anyone with an anti-america agenda preaches and harps at how horrible and diabolic firearms are. If the Newspaper and other media outlets and figure heads repeat it enough, loud enough, passionatley enough.. Some people may begin to believe them. So in my view it hasa lot to do withpyschology, especially in the way in which you described as though people were "judging you" for what? being American?
The fact of the matter is; You don't need a reason to carry. It's nota right to be given by the police or the government. It's an amendment just for being alawabidingAmerican. So don't let any of this socialist/commie b.s. get to you. They want us all to be dependant on them (gov.) for everything and anything. Even our own personal saftey.
For example; During Hurricane Katrina, probably the biggest disaster to ever strike the u.S.. It took the government six to seven days to send help to get things under control? Now i'm not anti-government... but I'm not about to put my life in the hands of my 'government' and hope they come to rescue me. Especially* in a disaster type situation.
And in case you haven't noticed.. most crimes happen when the cops aren't around! I've heard 911 tapes of women being strangled to death on the phone while police were racing to the scene.. And if only she took full advantage of her 2nd amendment well she would probably still be alive today as would many other victims of serial-rape/murder/violent assault.
In my city alone, so far this year, 54 women have been raped. I live in a smallsuburb folks. What if these people had taken advantage of their amendment?I think the number would be more like 0.
Forgive me for carrying on but.. even 9/11.. The 9/11 attacks could of been stopped if only we truly* had the right to bear arms. Decompression doesn't happen folks. If you poke a hole in the skin of the airliner you won't be sucked out etc. etc. as though it were some hollywood film.. And that's besides the point, There is such a thing as flangible ammo which wouldn't penetrate the airliner to begin with. And since you would have to be an American Citizen to have the firearm in the first place.. the Terrorists wouldn't of been able to take over the plane. And even if all six some how got passed security via smuggling the firearms on board.. they would still have to contend with all the armed Americans on the flight also.
Think about the "anti-firearm zones" such as schools and so on. Have any of these laws ever stopped a school shooting yet? These laws only prohibit the law abiding citizens and honestly make it easier for some criminal to murder others. Had I been at columbine, and had I been armed, a lot of people would still be alive today.
Another reason; 56 million people have been murdered by their own governments soon after gun bans were inacted in their countries. This includesJews, Christians, you name it. Oh don't think the U.S. government is any better.. Look into Operation Northwoods and so on. . .
I could give countless examples of why you should carry. But my friend, you don't need a reason.. or examples. If you were some kinda commie then maybe so but as long as you're an American wear your firearm. It might end up saving you, or someones life someday.
Semper Fi.
