I’m a minor, so no gun for me, but it’s definitely an option. Better safe than sorry, I suppose.

Happy birthday Cruiferi -
I see your point of view -
Just out of curiosity -
Have you brought a gun inside God’s church ?

I don’t think you should answer that one way or the other, Cruciferi.

There’s a big difference between “owning” and “carrying”.
Around here, there’s way more owners than carriers. Because you normally carry for a specific reason, not “just in case”.

For " just in case" I ’ ve got all the stuff in my purse already 
Once I realized I had carried my little hammer with flowers for days …
That may be a weapon though…

I know tons of people that carry “just in case”
Why leave the fire extinguisher in the shed when you might need it in the kitchen

Yes and carry as often as I can, especially at events.
Get armed, get trained, be responsible.

I overlooked “Gun Carrying Catholics Armed” as the title, so consequently withdrew my post with apologies to the OP.

I am not a gun owner. Perhaps I am lucky in that where I am living that I don’t need one.
I guess if there was a 5% chance of needing a gun I would consider buying one.
If there was a 20% plus chance of needing a gun I would look to move somewhere else.

I’m a US Military Veteran and citizen.
So obviously I voted yes.
However, I believe bumpstocks and similar devices should be banned, I believe background checks should be tightened up, and I believe the availability of the AR-15 rifle to the general public should be severely restricted.
Also, I think the general age to purchase a firearm should be raised to 21 - of course with an exemption for those ages 18-21 who are in law enforcement or military.

@Spyridon, so you are for the restriction of any weapons with the capability of an AR15, then, I take it?
Or just rifles with pistol grips and barrel guards that look scary? Because there are several rifles with the capability of the AR that just look like “regular” rifles.
I’m for background checks and making it more difficult to get any weapon, and I too think bump stocks should go the way of the dodo, but if you’re going to ban a semiautomatic rifle, you ought to ban semiautomatic handguns too - especially in the wake of the YouTube shooter who used a legally obtained handgun.
Raising the age to 21 wouldn’t have stopped most of the mass shootings, either. That proves nothing in my book.
Just a thought.

Ah, sorry. Was meaning in the sense of “carrying on your person at all times just in case something happens”. Not “having a gun within reach”.
I might be pumping gas, and I might see one or two guys open carrying. There are several more concealed carrying, and I’m just not aware… because it’s concealed. But there are many, many, many more who have their arms in their glove box. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gun rack in a truck, although they used to be as common as tool boxes. And then there are many, many, many, many, many more who own, but it’s safely at their house, but they’ve left it there because they’re not expecting to need to be armed to go to the gas station, grocery store, and post office.
When I took my CHL license class, before Open Carry became a thing, the police chief who was running it said, “When you get pulled over for speeding, give them your driver’s license-- but also give them your concealed carry license. And tell them if there’s a gun in the car, before they ask. And when someone tells me there isn’t a gun in the car, I ask them, ‘Well, why not?’ Because it’s important to carry. Just in case.”
I don’t carry on me, because while I’ve got small kids who are good and obedient most of the time, they still do dumb stuff and don’t follow directions just enough for me to not trust them 110%. But there are other people who have kids who are just a bit older than mine, and their families take them deer hunting and stuff. So a lot of that is going to depend on the maturity of the kids involved.
Not everyone who would consider carrying has kids… but I’d expect a significant number of gun owners also have kids, and that would affect the habits of how they deal with firearms, versus how they’d deal with firearms if there were only adults to take into consideration.

I don’t own, but I would consider owning a gun.
That being said, I wouldn’t conceal carry wherever I go. Maybe it’s just where I live, but I’ve never felt the need to pack heat whenever I go to the grocery store for milk and eggs.
With all due respect, I think that many who conceal carry are just a little overly paranoid.
