Open carry

Most of those who choose to open carry are proud that we are supported by the other peacekeepers out there and having that support causes us to be confident that we can protect ourselves and our families if the situation presents its self.

If and when we are put in a situation where we have to defend another life we will undoubtedly lose something no matter what. It might be emotional, financial or physical, but we will lose something.
