Agreed man. I've always meant to have a large knife, bushwalking, and camping. Because it's such a great survival tool. Though always carry a small knife in my pack. Same reason i believe guns should be legal for many people for practical reasons.
But what doesn't sit well with me at all if i'm being honest, is being able to carry in public. It's a good feeling, being comfortable to be safe enough, to not have to feel the need to carry, for protection in public. Let alone possibly a home.
I think that feeling of security, is a right we are all entitled to. Unfortunately though there are people who want to take everyones rights away. These people shouldn't have guns.
