You didn't click on the link 1911 Junkie posted, did you?

 

As far as the car insurance thing goes, well, that is a red herring or specious argument because by law you have to have insurance to drive legally.

As far as homeowner's insurance goes, unless you paid cold hard cash on the barrel head, then yeah, the bank or the mortgage company is going to force you to have some sort of insurance.

Another specious argument.

Two words. Renters insurance. No one ever made me buy it, but I still write the check and I'm glad I do. My possesions are secure from fire flood and theft. Its just prudence to take minimal steps to avoid major disaster. It is after all, the reason we carry guns.

Have you had to file a claim yet on your renters insurance?

Have you had to draw your CCW piece?

Did you actually fire a shot somebody?

As to the real reasons people actually CCW...well...some people may believe it is  insurance against the boogey-man is just one reason.

There may be other reasons. 

YMMV.

Yes to both questions. I had two bikes stolen and a tree fall on my canoe while it was strapped to my truck (heroicically saving my cap) while I lived in Austin. (The latter was actually kind of funny as it took over a week of arguing over whether the damage should be settled by my renters, auto or watercraft policies, and this was the same company that handled all three. ) . Given that USAA is good company, it cost three one hundred dollar deductibles on two $500 bikes and a $1500 kevlar canoe. The policy was money well spent. As to the CCW, yeah, I've felt threatened enough to flash the gun once. So I do take this seriously.

Tyler, have a nice life with your reloads, I prefer factory ammo.  Different strokes for different folks.

Sorry, but I refuse to give you an argument.  I'm too damned tired right now.
