https://www.fox21news.com/news/national ... oter-dead/

Hey honey, running to Kroger to grab a few things. Be right back. Below is the text I just got from my wife a few minutes ago.

Have you looked at news lately? Kroger mass shooting in Memphis. “But I’m just going to the store I don’t need to carry “. You win - always carry

My darned daughter is bad about that. She has a bad habit of carrying "when she thinks she is going to a dangerous place". My response is always the same. If you think it is dangerous, why the heck are you going there to begin with?

That's the same logic as "I'll put my seatbelt on if I think I'll be in a car accident"

Yeah, my wife kind of understood why I always carried. I think this really set it for her as we always go to our local Kroger.

Drives me nuts. "I just went to get a quick burger. No, I didn't bring my gun." When I go out with her and my SIL, they tell me they figured I was carrying so they didn't need to.

I would bet dollars to donuts that many people think this way. I bet very few of us carry on a regular basis.

I carry 24-7 as many of you do. I am thankful my wife carries now on a regular basis. She did say one time years ago, as above, but you are carrying.
My response: OK, if I get shot defending you who is going to be my backUp???
Now when something like this hits the news I always say, "And some folks still wonder why I carry 24-7.

I used to think that way, but since all the covid stuff started, there are just too many angry folks out there so now I carry a .380 in my pocket at the minimum.

Prohibiting open carry in stores will help to keep Kroger and Walmart shoppers and employees safe

Leftists are all morons.

I will still believe any evident means of self defense is a deterrent to crime.

But I think that some of this goes deeper. Businesses have watched the regularity with which defenders get sued by the families of perps, particularly perps that don't pass the room temp challenge and are afraid of being the deep pockets in a defensive shooting scenario. Allowing concealed carry still could land them in that same position but it is not as overt as OC.

That said, we have a lot of companies today that have bended knees to the militant Left organizations on a range of subjects. I'm glad that we haven't seen more .06 signs to go with that.

Not unlike many here, I have callouses behind the point of my hip, and just above the belt.

I wish there was a way to call them out, like on TV, to illustrate that point.
