    Personally I respect your right to carry! BUT.... I think you just may be asking for trouble! You do what you feel you need to do to protect yourself, if you are scrapping honestly there is no need to carry a weapon while doing it....just saying!

    Your not asking for trouble. No one knows if I have it or not have it an if I draw it...I tend to use it and I shoot to kill. There are times (watch you tube videos) where people will rob you even for the money in your back pocket. When you are a scrap yard like my self and you may have over 10grand sitting in your truck safe...you make sure you guard that money at all costs.

    I am not just some random person carrying a weapon but full trained in its use. I hold a level 3 commission card that gives you training in the use of deadly weapon. I all so have gone shooting with many cops who I am friends with an have had them give me "training" off the books. I have done and been in combat shooting practice. So when I say I have training in the use of what I carry...I mean it. and the use of ANY WEAPON is the LAST thing you do...only if and when needed same as a cop...only when needed.

    It was like maybe two months ago here in Dallas. A gas station was robbed at gun point...many people where shot...some killed...they robbed the place for under a grand worth of money and cigs. I will see if I can find that news story...
