    Maybe the strawmen you saw on the internet do. Considering 32% of Americans own a gun, I suspect you only know about the ones that make it their personality.

      Well, if you feel the need to walk around armed at all times, even at home, you must be afraid of something.

        You remember that mention of “strawmen?”

        Or do you work with some guys that stay strapped?

        I mean, I just found out one of my buddies was concealed carrying basically every time it wasn’t illegal so they certainly exist, but I wouldn’t characterize him as living in fear. A former Boy Scout who takes “being prepared” a little too seriously, sure, and a raging woke liberal who just happened to grow up in a rural area, sure.
