Carrying is just not that special. Will I have my housekey? Check. Car keys? Check. Cell phone? Check. All tools for a purpose, as is my firearm.

Why wouldn't someone carry on Halloween? It's another day, just like the other 364.

Is there one day a year that crime takes a day off?

100% agreement from me!

Why would I go trick or treating?
I will carry at home.

Since I won't be at work, I'll be carrying.

Even if you don't believe in God, it's hard to argue that this isn't a good opportunity to love on your neighbor's kids.

As I mentioned earlier, me and my family will be out there having a wonderful time (and I'll be armed to the teeth).

I agree wholeheartedly! The only reason this holiday (Which is what it is) has such a bad rap is people's lack of participation in it. If everyone would participate it would be safe again, people pulling out and shutting their lights off change the ratio of good kids/stupid teenagers in a negative way. Halloween is NOT a pagan holiday and it does not glorify the devil. It has its older origins as well, but in that regard, Christmas is a pagan holiday as well.

Remember, the word Pagan literally means "Not Catholic". Buying into Halloween being the devil's holiday is like blindly listening to the people who say CHL holders have an 80% chance of shooting themselves.

Make it a fun holiday for the kids, buy some candy and carve a Jack-o-lantern and have a good time.

Alex!

I will also have my cell phone, wallet and glasses on. I am another who just consider it a normal day!

There is a reason why I should consider it differently?

In a word, YES.

Well if you anticipate trouble, why go?

Sorry but it is a celebration of a satanic practice. Jesus does not appreciate it.

It's just a message board among like minded folks... I can afford the time to pop in and give my thumbs up. No big deal for me.
