When it comes to where I live, I'll never compromise.  When it comes to travel, I'll carry whatever I can legally wherever I go (knife, pepper spray etc...).  You never plan on leaving CONUS?


Not unless I can bring my gun.


You know, if you didn't want to leave the country that'd be one thing.  But to let this"gotta be armed 24/7" mentality prevent you from doing something you enjoy?  That's just sad.  Like, legitimately makes me feel bad for you in a non-snarky, non-condescending way.

Where is the "compromise" between food, and cyanide?


I want to carry a gun, they want me to be defenseless, where is the compromise?

I'm willing to "compromise" in that I am willing to get THEIR permit, however they are not willing to issue me one, so who is not compromising?

So it kind of came up in my global CCW thread, who else besides me draws a hard line at refusing to compromise self defense when traveling?  For me if you ban my carrying my gun, loaded on my person for self defense you ban me, pure, and simple.  If a country, or state says that I can not carry my pistol while I'm their I refuse to step foot their, and whenever possible refuse to do business with anyone there lest the communist homophobic sons of bitches running it get a few pennies of my money in tax, anyone else like me?

Basically go to USA Carry, and pull up the reciprocity map for Michigan, that is the boundaries of my World, everywhere else is black listed.  I'm even willing to get non resident permits to carry elsewhere, but it seems no black listed place will issue one if you are not rich, politically connected, a celebrity, or can afford to pay bribes.  I love to travel, and there are many places in the world that I would love to see, but i will not "compromise" on this issue, and give up my most basic human right, and endanger my life just to satisfy their stupidity, and hoplophobia.

I will also not visit the third world, weapon, or not.  Why would I?


Congrats, you're exactly the kind of gun owner that makes us all look like retards.

And FYI, this post isn't new, it's been done many, many times before, and it always makes someone sound like an idiot.  I'm going to guess you have little to no interest in different cultures or travel anyway, so why bother?

Also, you there is not their.

My local post offices have "no guns" signs. (It's against federal law to carry a gun into a post office.) Does that mean I shoukl never set foot in a post office? Some people have a necessity to go into a post office, and don't have a problem leaving their guns outside. Being inflexible on something like this is simply retarded.

However I REFUSE to go through the strip search machine, or be groped for the "privilege" of air travel, that is why I have not gotten on a plane since the body scanners went in.  Prior to that I wasn't old enough to carry anyway.

So if you want to travel on a passenger plane you're not willing to place your firearm in custody for the duration of the trip?  That would be a compromise.

I'm not one of those people that will refuse to go somewhere just because it's in an anti-gun state, but if I can help it, I'm going to be armed. I will probably never drive into any northeast states, so this is not really an issue. The only shitty state I have to deal with is California.

My wife and I did a sightseeing road trip from WA to AZ in 2012. Rather than stay in hotels, we got a KOA membership and camped in a tent each night we were on the road. We spent a lot of time in AZ visiting family around Flagstaff and Tucson, going out to some pretty remote areas. Our return route was to go west of AZ into CA, and straight up CA through I-5, with one stop for the night outside Sacramento.

I carried with us a Sig Mosquito and a CZ-82, a few hundred rounds of ammo for both, in a .30cal can that was bolted to the seat rails in her Suzuki - it was technically not locked, but would have been tricky to open for anyone but myself. Inside the holstered CZ-82 was loaded 12+1 9x18 ball with an extra 12rd mag. The Mosquito was unloaded, just there for shooting cans in the desert.

My personal belief is that concealed carry laws are unconstitutional, regardless I normally play by the rules, and have a WA CPL, which was only valid outside of the state during our time through Idaho.

Would that ever pass in court? Hell no, and neither would traveling through CA with a 10+ rd pistol, or even having one loaded in the vehicle. Did I care? Not one bit, and neither did my wife.

No I was providing an example of all cultures not being equal.

I have nothing against European culture (unlike the third world) it simply is not mine, and "experiencing it" will not change that fact.  Any culture who values defenselessness, and submission, and demands that I disarm to visit is inferior to mine.  I do not care if they are armed, if they visit here I am fine with them exercising their cultural preference of being disarmed, and helpless, or they can arm themselves, I really do not care.  They however do not extend the same Courtesy to my culture.

Only place I've gone where I couldn't carry was in Minnesota. No reciprocity with Iowa. I left the gun at home, as well as my daily pocket knife, because it's an automatic.

I did take along 2 fixed blades though. I always have something on me that I carry with a defensive purpose in mind.

I like this post where you asked if you could bring a cap and ball revolver into Canada three years ago.

And you made this exact same post before:

http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1150515

Here's a great thread of yours:

http://www.ak47.net/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1589181

What happens if you have to shoot someone in international waters?

Then you ask if you can carry in a Canadian duty free store.  

http://www.ak47.net/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1612844

Not having guns around you seems to be a prevalent theme in a large number of posts you make.

https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1566883

I'm 30, I don't trust anyone, I hate the idea of roommates for any reason, precisely because of my lack of trust, and general desire to be left the hell alone in privacy. Also I have a large number of guns, and carry everywhere I go, and despise the idea of being unarmed

 Yup, no metal detectors or very thorough pat downs I am armed everywhere I go.  Fuck em if they don't like it.

Naivety.

They don't think of it as being defenseless. They're wrong of course. But that's not the point.

Maybe if you traveled you'd know these things and learn to appreciate other cultures.

Op is compensating for some profound insecurities.  He's basically the guy that libtards accuse us of being.

And that's OK, if it helps him function within his safety bubble.  

As long as he's careful not to over-react and kill someone who doesn't need kill'in.   .  That just hurts the cause.

Pretty much this.

The best time I've ever had in my life was the 3 months I studied abroad in Dublin, Ireland while in college.  Not only did I get to see a ton of Europe, but I met young people from all over the world (we stayed in a hostel the entire time) - some of whom I still keep in touch with via social media.

I've visited the beaches of Normandy, had a bottle of cheap champagne under the Eiffel Tower with my girlfriend, experienced Pope John Paul II giving mass in St. Peter's Square, visited the Sphynx, Great Pyramids & Valley of the Kings, etc. etc.

Next month I'll be on safari in Botswana, hopefully sitting in the Devil's Pool on Victoria Falls, and diving with Great Whites off the coast of South Africa.

You're seriously missing out on once-in-a-lifetime experiences with your naivety.  Not my problem though....keep enjoying Michigan.

I decided to not worry as much about a gun and get self defense training through martial arts.  I am focused on martial arts that use weapons, such as a stick.  Just a simple 30 inch long rattan stick.  Of course, all of the things you can do with a stick, you can do with a cane.  Where can you not get a cane, anywhere in the world?  Change the cane or stick for a knife and now it gets really interesting.

Are these better than a gun?  In close quarters I wouldn't want to fac e my instructor with a gun unless I shot him twice first, but overall no.  A gun would be better, but if you can't have a gun, or even a knife, at least you can equip yourself anywhere you go with a surprisingly versatile and extremely deadly weapon.  A cane.  Or just a simple stick.

Yeah, that doesn't work very well for a mindset.





Mindset is a major component, but I would rather have the mind set, and a Glock, than the mind set, and a sharpened dildo.
When I traveled to Nicaragua I carried a steak knife that I got from my hotel. I explored some of the more seedy parts of town. You know what.... I enjoyed myself. Why did I carry a steak knife? Because I didn't have to worry about customs. Simply got it from my hotel and a five minute job with a wet stone and I had it good to go. If I came across the cops I could ditch it and not worry.

So it kind of came up in my global CCW thread, who else besides me draws a hard line at refusing to compromise self defense when traveling?  For me if you ban my carrying my gun, loaded on my person for self defense you ban me, pure, and simple.  If a country, or state says that I can not carry my pistol while I'm there I refuse to step foot their, and whenever possible refuse to do business with anyone there lest the communist homophobic sons of bitches running it get a few pennies of my money in tax, anyone else like me?





Basically go to USA Carry, and pull up the reciprocity map for Michigan, that is the boundaries of my World, everywhere else is black listed.  I'm even willing to get non resident permits to carry elsewhere, but it seems no black listed place will issue one if you are not rich, politically connected, a celebrity, or can afford to pay bribes.  I love to travel, and there are many places in the world that I would love to see, but i will not "compromise" on this issue, and give up my most basic human right, and endanger my life just to satisfy their stupidity, and hoplophobia.





I will also not visit the third world, weapon, or not.  Why would I?

That's a shame. I've done road trips all over the Western US and its beautiful. You're missing out big time. And I always had a handgun during these trips, just not loaded on my hip. You can even bring firearms into the National Parks. Get out of the house and go see your country!

I like this post where you asked if you could bring a cap and ball revolver into Canada three years ago.

And you made this exact same post before:

http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1150515

Here's a great thread of yours:

http://www.ak47.net/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1589181

What happens if you have to shoot someone in international waters?

Then you ask if you can carry in a Canadian duty free store.  

http://www.ak47.net/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1612844

Not having guns around you seems to be a prevalent theme in a large number of posts you make.

https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1566883

I'm 30, I don't trust anyone, I hate the idea of roommates for any reason, precisely because of my lack of trust, and general desire to be left the hell alone in privacy. Also I have a large number of guns, and carry everywhere I go, and despise the idea of being unarmed

Exact same thread AGAIN here.

https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=1530409

I seriously wonder about your state of sanity.

I also would not travel to Detroit.  The last time I was there was because I was forced off of the freeway, it is a world of burned, blast damaged buildings, razor wire, and debris.  Ever drive one handed because your other hand was white knuckling a Glock?  I have.  I was also nearly ambushed on a random dead end street when some of the local wild life rolled a tire across the road to try to block me in.  I would not feel safe in Detroit in an Abrams tank with Infantry escort CAS, and artillery, and mortars.  Did you know statistically you have a better chance of getting murdered in Detroit than in the entire countries of Iraq, and Afghanistan combined?  It's true, look it up.

Yes communist hoplophobes.  I think it's an accurate descriptor for the leadership of places that pass gun bans.

I love the West, and I can see all of it except California, Oregon, and Colorado.  I have hope for Colorado though.  California is Amerika's answer to the USSR, and Oregon sadly has probably been poisoned by proximity, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Where is the "compromise" between food, and cyanide?

I want to carry a gun, they want me to be defenseless, where is the compromise?

I'm willing to "compromise" in that I am willing to get THEIR permit, however they are not willing to issue me one, so who is not compromising?

Refusing to compromise is too often seen as being a redeeming quality at Arfcom.  Living in a civil society requires compromise at times.

If you're defenseless without a gun (and you aren't some elderly cripple or something) then you've got bigger problems than who recognizes your permit.

A final thought SAC.

I hope you realize that we are On Your Side.

IOW, we are with you 90% of the way.   Compared to the general public, we are each, at about a 9 on the gun-nut looney scale of 1-10.  

And yet, here we are, urging you to dial it back a little.    

Just something to think about.

Holy shit, OP is literally not in touch with reality.

Why can't GD do fucking basic risk assessment?

Not carrying a gun in low risk Euro country increases my chance of death or great bodily harm by say %0.000000001. Being a fat ass increases my chances of dying young by what, maybe %5-10?

Literally orders of fucking magnitude more dangerous but one is not a big deal and one spawns derp like the OP.

When it comes to where I live, I'll never compromise.  When it comes to travel, I'll carry whatever I can legally wherever I go (knife, pepper spray etc...).  You never plan on leaving CONUS?

let's see... santorini or whitefish point light?

i've been to both, and lots more places, and i'm here to tell you that santorini (and lots of other places around the world) are a fuckton more fun, entertaining, and interesting.

my wife has been to Everest base camp, and you are afraid to leave CONUS.   lol.

OP was most likely one of those kids who refused to do anything without his security blankie, and now that he's an adult he's transferred that mentality to a gun. It really is, no joking no snark, very sad.
