Why are some people so obsessed with guns?

They prefer to be able to protect themselves and their families, and not rely on the cops to do it. Especially those living in dangerous areas or rural areas. The gun hobbyist people are a different story. I don't understand any collecting type hobby, so I don't know what to say about people like that.

I understand people want to protect themselves and their families. But I don't understand open carry. Does that allow anyone to carry a gun anywhere? My uncle owns a gone for hunting. I'm not afraid to be around him. I know he won't shoot me, his my uncle lol but if I see a random stranger on the street with a gun, I'd be scared not gonna lie.. I don't know his intentions. I'd I'm not going to easily trust a stranger.

There's typically a ton of restrictions on locations for open carry, like bars, airports, etc... Personally, I'll never understand open carry. I used to conceal carry when I was off duty as a cop, but that doesn't make me a target like with the open carry thing.

I openly carry everyday. Criminals carry why can’t I?

@Pterodon how do I know you're not a criminal?

[Pterodon]

Because I’m nice and not hiding anything

I don't know. I sometimes wonder if they are obsessed with guns or just subjugating others. And an armed citizenry is a big speed bump to that.

They have been brainwashed into thinking they need guns to protect themselves.

[Pterodon]

Because my government allows me to have them and I do use them.

Because liberals let the criminals have them.
