Unscientific, but fun.

Surprised to see this in the Valley. I'm from the Valley and I regularly have family, who own guns themselves, decry carrying guns. However, the decry it not because of safety or because of the principle of the thing. They decry it because it means you don't know how to defend yourself otherwise. My brother in law told me over thanksgiving (who owns several handguns and rifles but refuses to carry), "You know that most of the people who carry guns carry them because they either can't or don't want to learn how to defend themselves." He then went on to say that a man who carries a gun is less of a man than he is. Its a bunch of macho poodoo.
