I don't want to get into this debate, but if guns made us safer, the United States would be the safest place in the world. That being said, I am not expecting any reply to my post and I don't want replies to my post. I do NOT want to get into this debate.
 Other than EDCing that gun, I think that the original poster's EDC is off to a good start.
 
 Thank you, and have a nice day.

If you didn't want to get into the debate, why did you post your opinion, and then basically say you didn't want to hear anyone else's opinion?

This is  a book  that may help explain why Americans like to carry guns. (And don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

 Thats a little unfair saying that when you are not in his situation to know if he might need it or not.
 
 You have your view on guns, I respect that.
 He has his views on guns, and I respect that too.
 
 At least you have a choice. Some of us live in countries that dont have that choice and its no safer.
 
 I could go on,  but that would start sounding like a debate on the issue.

Bee:
 Do they make something as small as the micra "with" a plier? I use the plier and side cutter most.
 
 Why do I edc a handgun?
 
 I was mugged in 1995 while working in NYC. I was shot in the leg...I gave no resistance and handed the money over quickly. Do you know why he shot me??? I know because after he shot me, he said (quote) "thats so you don't follow me"
 
 I swore to myself that I would never be at a disadvantage again. I am a big guy 6'3" tall and 300+ pounds but felt helpless when that 150 lb skinny runt put a gun in my face.
 
 Thanks for your reply,

 Probably because he won't be given advance notice before it will be needed... like every other item of EDC.

Bee, with the resent events in America one has to do a little more soul searching and question what has happened. It's not so easy to be black and white on this subject anymore. There are many pro's and con's to gun carry/control. I think those that carry easily make a case of why from the media coverage. Those that don’t carry can also make very persuasive arguments. However I feel the need more and more to have some kind of firearm available to me. If a CCW permit were available to me I would certainly want to have the option.
