Well he's going on and on about how he's leaving FL and heading to the mountains and that when he's in the mountains he carries his Glock on his side and a 38 cal in his pocket. He then goes on to say that he always carries two extra clips for the Glock (3 clips total). Yet if that's not enough he also carries 2 speed loaders for the .38.

He's bragging about how he can shoot off 75 rounds just like that if he has to.. I'm like WTF is this guy so fucking scared out of in the "woods on his own property which he feels the need to carry 2 guns and 75 rounds of ammo? I understand the want to carry a gun, specially in the wild but fucking 75 rounds if he expecting a fucking zombie outbreak?

I'm like fuck.. I go to the mountains sometime too, and yes I have a concealed carry permit and "sometimes" carry a 9mm but fuck me if I'm lugging around 75 rounds of ammo.. Fuck if you can't hit and kill something with a single clip you are probably fucking dead, so whats the point in lugging around all the lead?
A few years ago I was watching a TV show. I can't remember what it was, but it was some dumb reality show. A couple of the guys on the show were big gun guys. One of them would brag about how his gun is never out of arms reach. When he is at home the gun is sitting on a table right next to him or on the arm of his chair. If he gets up to go to the bathroom or into the kitchen, the gun goes with him.

He seemed proud of this, but I found myself wondering why he was so scared that he had to have a gun at the ready at all times. To me he is exactly the kind of guy who ends up freaking out and shooting an innocent person.
