Hello,
I just found this thread and wanted to sign in.
I'm an ordained minister and serve as a chaplain to several assisted living facilities and the local public safety community. I also serve with the US Corps of Chaplains.
The USCOC is in place nationwide and serves the military community and their families, the local community and serves in times of emergency or disaster.

I agree with all of the points posted here concerning why people carry. Having worked in public safety for 20+ years I appreciate that we all bear a certain responsibility for our own protection and survival. Our public servants just can't be everywhere at once. I always carry, period, unless there is a specific LEGAL prohibition.
I laughed when I read the post concerning always carrying your gun and your Bible. I always have a small Pastor's Bible in my pocket and my G27 in my safepacker...just to cover all the bases.
