We don't need AK's or M16 derivatives but there are places where firearms are needed and people are entitled to carry...My brother whose squad was overrun during the Siege of Firebase Ripcord may be the least of these, but facing off with death should confer certain advantages and in our rural states he travels strapped. My family is spread across the country-in the southwest a female cousin carries a .45/.410 snake gun because she needs it. An uncle just 40 miles north of here went strapped to empty his garbage since bears had once stopped him from re-entering his house. Craigslist and FB marketplace are a frontier and I've gone to meetings armed. I don't think they or I am bad people-I think we are realists. Sometimes life is risky and reducing risks is prudent. Reasonable gun control is just that, but forcing people into going up unarmed against obvious threats is just stupid,
