Lots of tail-posting going on here... as I stated before my side-arm was used to protect me from animals as I grew-up. Nothing to do with human animals and it is my right to have it for that protection as well as protection against humans. On a ranch we use guns as tools like any other, it is no different than an ax or chainsaw. Sidearms are required because they need to be small and easy to carry. I have had to shoot rattlesnakes while crawling under citrus trees more than once and shot a charging wild boar with my side-arm once. People who rant about how "people don't need handguns" know nothing of what they speak.
& no, it is not for gun owners to prove that they need their guns, rights are not for explaining need, justification or desire... they just are.
I keep saying it, freedom means being exposed to other's freedoms... deal. If you don't like them, go where it is not free.
Takes a special, tough, tolerant, person to be free.
