That is not why we carry a gun. He just doesn't get it, does he?Carrying a gun always, always represents the threat to use that gun to kill or maim another. That, after all, is why these people carry their guns.

It sounds like "these people" are his security detail and city employees who carry guns.C-dub wrote:That is not why we carry a gun.
