I don't mind cats. I know people who cant stand them, but personally I like them. There are some I don't like, just like people, but generally I'm fine with them.

They don't pretend to be anything other than a cat, unlike little yappy dogs who think they are real dogs but aren't anything more than a fucking cat.

Nah, I don't think that's why.

I guess that could be part of it, you really never know who has one so if your intent was to cause trouble you might think twice about it.

But someone who is all hopped up on heroin or something could care less. Those are the times you would be glad to have a gun powerful enough to do some damage.

I'm not really built to protect myself, so I like the feeling I have when carrying, but I truly hope to never have to use one on a person.

I can see that. I suppose it's all what you're used to. I like knowing that if something terrible happened I had some recourse. Say, for example, that you walked into a store that was being robbed. I'd like to be able to do something about that.

Edit: Also, when the zombie apocalypse comes I will be ready!
