I loves my guns too but I have never even once felt I needed one to move freely around the GTA....
I don't cower behind a locked door and alarm system in my own home either...
Not saying you do but just adding to the 'fear' everything point of my post...
Not needed for protection or fear but you never know I just like the freedom of carrying it instead of worrying about every little place it's transported or stored and how I might be breaking the law. Give me CCW and it goes wherever I want or don't want it. Funny you mention locked doors and alarms. Due to my wifes occupation we need to be very aware of security so there's a gate,alarm,3 bull mastiffs and guns stored safely but nearby when we are home. Not paranoid just comes with her line of work and the potential for robbing or kidnapping
