I would like to begin by saying that I do carry a Glock 26 Gen 3 every single day. I work in the Philadelphia area. While the actual area that I work in is very nice I still have to drive through some unsavory parts to get there. I truly believe to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I am interested in hearing from others. If you are anti gun DO NOT POST HERE.

I carry because I want too. I like to carry to protect myself AND to protect those innocent by standards that cant protect themselves. That's why I like to wear the patch that says Sheep Dog on my hat sometimes. I like to stay vigilant compared to the average Joe. Edit: By the way I dont just carry a gun either. I like to carry a knife and a baton as well. I carry these items to places with me just in case I cant carry a gun in certain places like a government building, hospital, church, or voting booth.

My Canik TP9. Hey can you give me a quick run down the Glock 26? I am on the edge of buying a Glock 26 or a 19 for a carry pistol. I am kind of leaning towards the 26 more because its more compact but the only grip I have with it is the 26 has a smaller sight radius. I generally have better target acquisition with a longer sight radius. I also kind like to have 3 fingers on the hand guard instead of two like the 26 which and I am aware of the pinky extension but then that extension brings it close to glock 19 length. So then the obvious thing would be to buy a 19. But then I know for sure I will be more comfortable carrying a 26 than a 19 since I dont wear baggy clothes. AHHHHH decisions decisions.

I'm getting my Glock 23 back, I haven't had it since back in 2012. It's a pretty good gun, I'd CCW it. it's chambered in .40 S&W, Not too big and not too small, Just the perfect size and packs a punch.

I carry a great sense of humor and keen sense of my surroundings. This has allowed me to never be so paranoid to carry a weapon.

I rotate what I carry between my ruger sr9c, ruger sr1911, and Taurus tcp depending on how I'm dressed. I carry because it is my constitutional right, I believe that rights not exercised are rights forfeited. I also carry so that if I ever need to, I can protect and defend my family.

I carry a Kahr PM9 (with laser sight)... I carry because people like Grey_Beard will be begging for someone to help him one day and I'd like to be able to help him. (if circumstances permit)... If not, He's on his own.

I wish we could carry in California. I would carry for the sole reason of 'just in case'. To date there isn't a single incident in my life that would have warranted a gun being drawn, but if it were to, I would like to be able to protect myself.

It's always nice to hope for the best, but please be prepared for the worst. S&W M&P AR-15, and the first gun I ever bought my springfield XD, chambered in 9 mm.

You must really live in Hell, I really feel sad for you that you feel that you have to carry because you have so much fear in life.

Thank you for saying what's on my mind. I grew up in areas way worse than half the people in this thread and never needed a gun, doubt I ever will. Carrying in public is the silliest thing ever especially when it makes those around you uncomfortable. Guns for recreational purposes? Hell yeah. Guns to defend your home? Hell yeah. Guns as an armed security guard? For sure. A gun in public? Why... Unless your job requires it, you look like the people that build silos in the the desert in case of nuclear mayhem..

With an attitude like that, no wonder you say the things you do. Try not to assume or read into things. Maybe a gun is the last you need to be carrying. Just saying for the record.

I don't see any attitude in what he said, but I sure see an attitude in what you said. In fact, you always get an attitude on these gun threads. You talk alot of junk for someone that is scared of guns and must rely on others. If you don't like guns, good for you. You are in the wrong country.

You probably think the same thing about gun owners as I do about males that drive Infinity's. To each their own. The OP clearly stated, anti-gun folks need not respond.

You guys have said you peace, please get back on point, TY ! If someone has not owned or carried, they are ignorant to the subject, there for fail to bring anything meaningful to the conversation. Gun people are some of the nicest people I have ever met. It's the small mindedness of so many that picture a an agrayob (hillbilly type), that hate everything including themselves. I live in a good area, and I work in a great one. I carry and practice my second amendment right to better our country not hinder it. You can't fully appreciate something you have no understanding of.

LOL!! It's just a sign bcav... And what do expect? It's on the Canadian Flag. If I'm not mistaken, you can't own a gun in Canada as the Gov't has deemed the population to irresponsible. It's too bad the folks in Canada put up with that... Not that guns make me happy, but without one, you are pretty much defenseless, and that can lead to many unhappy situations. That's why we have the 2nd amendment in the first place. So the sign (being that it's on the Canadian flag) makes sense to me.
