How about it's my right to carry? Reason enough for me...
Absolutely,... in Arizona, it's also my right, not to wear a helmet...
I don't exercise that right either...

I think the only car wrecks I was ever in I wasnt wearing one,
I guess Im doing these things for some reason other than the unlikely event of needing them,
... it's been a long time,.. but you have had flats, and you have had accidents...
When was the last time you were shot?...
...
Most people have had a flat,.. and most people have been in some kind of accident, or at least know somebody...
... and when was the last time you were shot at?...
Ladder tie your shoe laces people... I swear, I heard of a guy once, that fell of a cliff, and the ladder tie of his shoelaces caught him and saved him...
Someone could shoot your motorcycle in a turn and cause you to go off a cliff and your shoelace could get caught on a hanging branch and save you...
... and from there, if you are packin', you could whip out yer' pistol and shoot that guy...
