60% of voters, eh?
So 40% of them are idiots.

Ah, there we go! Nice.
I am an irresponsible ass. I canāt keep up with my phone, wallet, glasses or car keys. Although Iām proficient with a weapon, Iāve always concluded that the danger I pose to an innocent child due to my irresponsible behavior if I carried a gun, exceeds the probability Iāll need a gun for protection. Around 3 decades ago, I told this to the wife. The other day, I told her that the world has declined and now the probability Iāll need a gun, exceeds the probability a child will get hurt due to my carelessness. Iāll start carrying beginning next year and Iām sorry this time has arrived.
Just make it a part of you. You need to feel something amiss when you arenāt carrying, and not notice it when you are.
Thats how I feel about my iPhone .
Itās in the same vein. I came back from a deployment and it took over a month before I felt normal without my kit and weapon. When I carry now, I only notice it when I first put it on in the morning. Within a few minutes I donāt notice it. I do notice that I donāt have it on if I should go out without it.
Not that it was an active deployment but when I came home from an extended exercise I would be constantly looking for my webbing and rifle so I get it. Itās a weird feeling.
Be in full kit, with a full combat load, for the better part of 6 months. Itās the weight of the ammo that makes its absence felt the most.
Just donāt get the two mixed up when you need the gun.
