Both.
Active shooters, terrorist attacks, or other officers in need of help always run through my mind. The day this happens, the last thing I want to say is "I wish I had my gun." I could never live with myself if I chose not to carry that day, and knew that people died because I decided to not carry the life saving tool of my profession.

Holy ****. I felt like you were a cop when you started posting about guns. I get it, you see a lot of shit on a day to day basis and it at least ihmo makes a lot of guys really jaded a little paranoid and you feel need your gun, but that was straight out fox news sounding propaganda. I really don't mean any disrespect and I don't care about you carrying, but that was just a little too much for me.
I'm unamerican I guess, don't understand guns, don't want guns, have no interest in ever owning a gun. And I haven't always lived in nice suburban neighborhoods either. But I also didn't understand the huge uproar in the country about the FBI using face recognition in cameras.

The day this happens? You know that it's an extremely rare occurrence that you will find any situation that requires you to even think about pulling out a gun, that the vast majority of Americans do not carry and have absolutely no fear about it, and that being scared of walking around without a gun reeks of paranoia?
Maybe "scared" is the wrong word? I've never met anyone in my life or even heard of anyone who is so paranoid that they are "scared" to be without...anything, much less a gun. I am thinking you meant more like "Since I'm already allowed to carry, I may as well carry, it couldn't hurt and could potentially help" kind of thing.
As for what I'm doing, I just had my pasta and now I'm super tired. I can't sleep tonight as I have to get some work done, but I wish I could just pass out right now.

Not unamerican at all. Guns aren't for everyone.

It feels kind of like forgetting your cell phone or something at home for the day. It's just a very nagging feeling if I don't have it. I feel uneasy and pray to God today isn't the day.
As for it being a rare occurrence, I've been in several near shootings on duty, and put 2 people at gun point before off duty. I don't live in a ghetto area either.
I've been through numerous training classes that really hammer in the point to take your gun with you everywhere. Active shooters and terrorist attacks are the things which cross my mind most. Had one off duty had a gun at the Colorado theatre, Columbine, Virginia tech, ect many lives could have been saved. If you get a chance check out the Beslan massacre. Again, one armed citizen or off duty with a gun could have saved not only lives, but the survivors lives who will never be the same. This is becoming all too common and is likely to only get worse before better.
This is something I just read today. Another re-enforcement as to why I always carry. http://rhinoden.rangerup.com/the-per...m_medium=email

If you feel uneasy and "pray to god today isn't the day", then you are indeed very paranoid about this subject. I am not saying that to be insulting, I'm saying 99% of the American population doesn't walk around with guns when they go shopping, and none of them are hoping "today isn't the day". You're talking about over 310,000,000 people who are perfectly fine and dandy without even considering carrying a gun, and live full, healthy lives (in regards to getting shot or whatever).
Anyways, no big deal, everyone feels however they feel. We're all going to die in 2 months anyways.
Now, has anyone here ever had cooked sheep nuts? Or goat nuts, I don't remember what it was. I was tricked into eating this like 3-4 years ago and they were surprisingly tasty. I'm actually going to try to find these tomorrow at stores... I doubt I'll have any luck but, am very curious to see what I can find out about them locally.

I am aware that I am one of the few with this mindset. I take that as a compliment, not an insult.
