NEVER tell someone where you carry your weapon. A good gunfighter can spot a concealed piece 50ft away.
I shoot expert. I come from over 300 years in the Americas of a shootin' family.
.38 bullets don't kill us, they piss us off.
A gun is a tool/weapon for stopping, stopping now, stopping forever. You clean it, respect what it is and does and NEVER play around with it.
It's not a toy, it's not an outfit accessory. It's a weapon/tool for killing something or someone.
There are alot of insecure people who have guns because of any number of mental aberrations. Those are the ones to avoid.
If you pull your gun out, you do so to kill a man, not to scare off or show off.
Gun safety and responsibility are foremost and a sign
of good citizenship and craftsmanship.
Learn how to clean your weapons under less than optimum circumstances especially in low light. You never know.
Again, guns are not for showing off. When you show them off you let your enemies know what to expect.
Forewarned is fore-armed.

I totally agree with you. I do however enjoy guns on an artistic level also. like a vintage car, I like to look at them and share. I have them because I like the art of shooting, I shoot expert as well, and for me it's not about killing someone (although they can come in handy if you need to, but then again so can a vintage car, lol).
But you cannot be more right about the fact that a lot of people think they can whip em out to scare people, or that the knowledge that they have one will deter someone from fucking with them. That is a cowardly way to think. Anyone who knows me knows that the gun does not come out unless I plan on pulling the trigger....period.
