klr's and firearms.

[Steve Swedhin]

I am from rural Colorado, REALLY RURAL, and the trails that I ride I really don't need to carry unless I am working in a official capacity (County Sheriff). In a suburban area or areas close to sizable cities I can see the feasability of carrying firearms. I would definately get a concealed weapons permit, if not carry on my hip (which is legal in my state). Hopefully I can convince the Sheriff of the feasability of D/S on certain patrols. However, that would be the only time I would carry. I don't want to see the Second Amendment fade away. It is a God given right to protect one's self, and that is the first thing that goes in a totalitarian atmosphere. I'll get off my soapbox now, thanks for the discussion. "Swede" Swedhin.
