More and more states lately have passed bills to allow for constitutional carry, eliminating the necessity to get a concealed carry permit in order to conceal a sidearm.

While I think that more people should be able to carry one, many liberals do not.

During debate over a measure that would charge people who conceal carry sidearms with misconduct a woman was expressing her concern about the rejecting the bill because she has been the victim of sexual assault and other assault as well.

“The reason that I got my concealed carry is because I’ve been a victim of sexual assault. I’ve been a victim of random assault. I’ve been a victim of domestic abuse, and I refuse to be a victim again. I don’t carry because I want to harm others. I carry because I don’t want to be harmed. My right to defend myself shouldn’t change simply because of my physical location.”

Listen to what this dirtbag actually said after the woman spoke.

“I’ve said it many times that I’m a gun owner, I’m a hunter, and I’m a proud Democrat. I don’t need to carry my gun on me at all times to feel safe, I don’t. I don’t walk around, run around, and drive around worried about somebody’s going to shoot me, or somebody’s going to hurt me, or somebody’s going to do whatever. Why even walk around at that point? Stay at home behind closed doors. So I mean, I do understand that, yeah, it is a right that we have. But some people just don’t have that right. And some people just shouldn’t have that right. And with that, I vote no.”

It amazes me at how illogical some people can be. Just because he doesn’t feel the need to protect himself in public doesn’t not mean that someone else doesn’t. Just because he feels safe, doesn’t mean that everyone feels that way. Obviously, everyone isn’t safe. People do get harmed and in many cases if they would have had a firearm to protect them, they would have been able to defend themselves.

He is seeing the entire world through his eyes only and not empathizing with other people, which as a legislator you are supposed to do. You are supposed to take into consideration the opinions of others and not make judgments based on your own views.
