   Is that a joke or are you really that clueless?  When someone   
   threatens your life. you have to presume they're willing carry out   
   that threat.

   CWP.  I carry it everywhere it's permitted by law.

   Is that what armed robbers say these days?

   Yes, I hope it is highly unlikely, but no one can guarantee it will   
   never happen.  That's why I carry.  When seconds count, the cops are   
   just minutes away.

   Only if the bad guys are only armed with kazoos, too.
