Posts were posted at cross times and created confusion.

(that's probably clear as mud...)

Both Keith B and Purplehood posted right after each other and I simply agreed with their views.

That sort of declaration or one akin to it has to be communicated to family or others when they feel fit to cross over the line of respect.

If you are an adult your choices are just that - and they're not negotiable or have to be justified to Mom and Dad or anyone else...

I completely agree with Keith B and Purplehood.

I would add that if someone decides it's their duty to convince me not to carry or start to deliver the "blood in the streets" lecture, I will politely inform them it's not up for discussion.

I'm not duty bound to listen to these lectures or be harangued about my personal choices any more than someone insisting I agree with their political or religious particulars.

And, in the opposite vein, I no longer attempt to point out the wisdom of carrying. I'm not an evangelical for carrying.

Want to carry?

Great!

Don't want to carry?

Great!
