Interesting vlog and you make valid points Subscribed! Retired after a 30 year LE career. I conceal carry when out in public, driving my vehicle or riding my motorcycle. Like you, it is part of my psyche from doing the job for so long. It has nothing to do with trying to be badass it is purely for the protection for my loved ones, me and the good citizens. I guess once a sheepdog always a sheepdog. I still train even after 10 years of being done with the job. To me the best weapon is that gray matter between your ears. Use it and avoid situations that will require you use deadly force if at all possible. It you do carry you need to be trained up both physically and mentally. Should a situation arise you better be damn sure you can take a human life in order to preserve yours, your loved ones and others. Be safe, ride safe!

I am a retired U.S. Border Patrol Agent, 25 years on the job. I always carry my Sig P-250, .40 concealed, with two spare magazines. The world has gotten to be a very rotten place, with less than human savages roaming the streets. My motto: Better to have and not need it, than need it and not have it. Additionally, I view all of my firearms as tools. Every tool has a purpose; to, me firearms are no exception to that personal rule. And, as DB-so8zc said very well: "It you do carry you need to be trained up both physically and mentally. Should a situation arise you better be damn sure you can take a human life in order to preserve yours, your loved ones and others". I whole heartedly agree with his statement. Take care all...Rubber side down, paint side up.

The answer for me is and has always been that I am primarily responsible for the safety of me and mine.

People are animals here. Kids aren't brought up by family anymore. We let too many things slide and made accepted. Our laws are not tough enough on criminals plus the orient our toughest on their criminals. I carry because I don't feel safe anymore you are responsible for your own safety.

We don't outsource personal safety. Many nations have been trained to be dependent on government, and those people have little control of their own fate. For some this may be a comfort, but for those of us who take responsibility for outselves this feels like slavery.

I carry all the time, for personal defense after being robbed at gunpoint twice..... whether Im riding or not is irrelevant... When riding I prefer my ec9s from Ruger in a shoulder rig, otherwise its owb with my Ruger 9e (yes I am a Ruger fanboi) If you actually look at the records, unless you live in one of our major cities like NYC, you actually stand a higher chance of being shot in Canada than in the US

Still a completely alien and incomprehensible to a Canadian why you would carry a gun unless you weren't going hiking, hunting, or to the gun range. Absolutely baffling to me. i don't recall if i've ever met anyone outside law enforcement or armed forces who would carry a gun outside of those circumstances.

I am a retired U.S. Border Patrol Agent, I worked on the U.S. / Canadian border south of Vancouver, B.C. for 15 years (10 Years on the U.S. / Mexico border)...I arrested a lot of Canadian smugglers and confiscated hundreds of illegal weapons and narcotics (cocaine) being trafficked north into Canada during those 15 years. There is an ungodly amount of organized crime in Canada, just like in the U.S. Where do you think all of the weapons that were successfully smuggled into Canada went? Well, they were sold to the criminal Canadian thugs on the streets. Don't be baffled or naive, crime and criminals are EVERYWHERE. Be alert and be safe

If a kid flicks your ear and you retaliate who gets blamed …you do. This is the way the laws are now …. They value the criminal…. People know this … so you either swallow your ego or take your chances in a democrat controlled court of law. Always carry a gun …. People will test you just because
