You have to make a start somewhere. There's something mentally
defective about anyone who thinks they need to carry/posses a gun to
impress people. They have made a start in Australia I believe.
We made a start in the 1920s.

I have no interest whatsoever in impressing people, and do not carry a
gun off my property, since this state requires a carry permit for
handguns, and I never got around to dealing with the red tape to get
one. I don't hunt, so there is no need to carry a long gun anywhere. I
purposely bought a house in an area where guns are not carried as a
fashion accessory or manhood enhancer. (My office, sadly, is in such an
area- I do not like going there late at night.) I don't display them on
a wall or anything, or tell anyone about them unless they ask, and then
not always, because I'd rather not advertise that my house is worth
robbing. Guns are a tool, nothing more.
