    Nope. You wear the seat belt because you are have an anxiety that your co-worker might roll the car.

    Is he saying that if I don't have a right to possess a gun, I am living in some sort of slavery?

    Correct. She lives in fear of being attacked by some Michelin Man.

    Yes, because she fears being attacked. Why else have it?

    Less than 0.01% of the population in the U.S. is killed by guns.

    2/3 of gun deaths are suicide.

    If you exclude suicide by gun, then only 0.003% of the population is killed by guns.

    There is no crisis.

    I used to have life insurance. Bad investment. Yes, I have car insurance and home insurance because I fear not having the easy capacity to replace the home or meet claims against me should I have an at fault car prang.

    As he was quick to tell me, "Cracker, I just got out of prison doing ten years for selling coke" and he was ALREADY dealing within days. So yeah, no thanks.
    You have a funny way of dealing with death threats.
    He did eventually apologize and I accepted it, but he was still not a friend and it was my pleasure to sit on my porch with a beer and watch as the sheriff arrived to escort them off the property, that final day.

    Would not doubt he is back in prison now. Had he stepped thru my door with violent intent, returning to prison would not be a concern.

    Offer him a beer after he just threatened to kill you and your wife? How daffy.

    No.

    He's saying that Freedom and Liberty takes responsibility.

    If you don't want to take responsibility for your own life and want the government to control every aspect of your life from cradle to grave, then you are a slave to the state.

    Did she say she lived in fear? You didn't mention that in your OP. You just made an assumption.

    Protection. She is prepared.

    Are you having problems understanding the English language?

    Pretty sure you would have exacerbated the situation. Over here, we defuse angry people with beer. Well, it works in my World anyway.

    Yes, she assauges her fear by having a gun. No doubt about it. It is hardly a cosmetic thing to have.

    I have those not out of fear, but because I want to be prepared for the worse and I want to be responsible.

    Why do you live in fear of your house burning down? Are you afraid of fire?

    That is your opinion. Not fact. Stop making crap up.

    Why don't you ask her why she carries a gun?
