Simple question. It's an anonymous poll but both my wife and I are armed. Too many fucking morons, especially in red hats, to not carry self-protection.
Poll: Who carries a pistol in their car?

Understood about kids. Although there are ways to mitigate the danger, there's still a risk. As for the wife, a lot of fear is based upon the unknown. Teaching her to shoot a pellet gun in the backyard is one way to alleviate some fears. Taking a firearms safety class together and with her shooting a .22 pistol at an indoor range will further give her comfort.

FWIW, I doubt most JPP MAGAts carry a gun in their car because they don't drive, have a criminal record, are mentally adjudicated to not own a firearm, etc.
Still, I recommend every American to have both firearms training and possess a firearm.

How many times have you used it? If none, then your logic fails.

When I lived in New Orleans I did. Not since I moved from there in 1991.
It’s almost negligent not to if living there.
BEST THING: Never let anyone know you even own a firearm...let alone where they are most likely to find it. Let 'em find out the hard way...if that is what they want. But letting anyone know there is a gun in one's home or car is more likely to make you a target than someone to be avoided. There are always people looking to obtain a gun who are not able to do so by conventional means. Best not to help them.

From around the late ‘70s until I left N.O., I had two friends and an uncle who were murdered in that cesspool.
So carrying a gun there is like wearing a seatbelt.
So far I’ve never needed my seatbelt but it’s the prudent thing to do.
This poor lady would still be alive if she had a gun in her car.
And I have heard of folks in N.O. that have successfully used their weapon against an assailant.
YOUR logic fails.
In almost all foreign countries, there is an obligation to retreat. Basically, if you can retreat safely, there is no self defense. In these other countries, they would see being in a car to be an excellent way to retreat, so would question why you would need a gun in a car.

Depends is my answer. It depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing.

Even the UN respects the basic right of self-defense...although that does vary by country in application. Being in car means being inside a glass box if attacked by one or more people intending to harm you. There's a difference between a nutjob screaming at you and one who is breaking windows with a baseball bat.
The rest of the world is often antisemitic.

If I thought I needed a weapon I'd get one. I'm not anti-gun. I AM against civilians, especially kids having access to assault rifles.

I went grocery shopping today. I like wearing cargo pants or shorts and carry a pocket 9mm in a side pocket. I hope to never use it and, to avoid shooting myself, keep the chamber empty. It's a resource of last resort. If shooting starts, the cops should be heading toward the noise and I'll be heading away from it dragging as many innocents with me who want to go.

Considering today's political and economic environment, I'd advise acquiring both a scoped, large bore hunting rifle and a pistol, lots of ammo and to become proficient in the use of both.

Where did I mention blacks?
Three people close to me murdered. Two inside their own house, one riding his bike on the way to have dinner at his mother’s house.
Elderly woman dragged to death.
If you’re assuming blacks did it , you’re the racist.
You want a male to suck you off?
You’ll have better luck propositioning Diseasel. He’s into that stuff.
I’m heterosexual and happily married to a gorgeous blonde German woman.
BTW, that city is so crime infested with carjackers the locals don’t even stop at red lights anymore. With the local police’s blessing.

A good reason to live away from large cities. I only go to Dallas for medical reasons and otherwise avoid both Dallas and Fort Worth.
