I know that many of my friends will NOT agree, but i cant help it! I LOVE traveling in Constitutional Carry states where I get to carry this.
In all the nations I work in, I'm not allowed to carry this, BUT today I'm free!
Eeeekkkk, it feels like Christmas day.
I promise Will, I will give it back and the end of the tour πŸ˜‚

@sinbach Okey, could you please explain to me why would someone carry a gun with him on the streets? I as a Finn don't understand this at all. I can somehow see that to have a gun inside your house, you might be able to scare away possible intruders or burglers (if you are living in a very bad area of a large city.) But why carry it with you? What is the meaning of a gun in your pocket? I do wish to understand this!

@sarikorpi what if i told you that i might not be able to explain it as you would like? would you be offended and never talk to me again - or unfriend me on DD? what if I said it was out of love and that you and I express love differently, therefore you might not understand or what if I said that i believe there is a programming difference from creation between protector and nurturer and while both are needed, both approach safety and love in a different manner? would you be offended even more? what if i told you that i am traveling together on a book tour with an amazing woman today that has had a fatwa issued against her and is speaking out against Islam and while she is NOT afraid of those that might wish her harm, I have it in my DNA to help protect her in every way that I can. What if I told you that I love being able to protect those that I love, even while traveling, and not having to ask permission from the government to do it?
Still not convinced? I didn't think so πŸ˜„

@sinbach Thanks for your answer!

I think you might be underestimating me and what I'm capable to understand, even as a woman πŸ˜‰

If wearing a gun is because of giving protection, like as a bodyguard, I don't have problems understanding that. I think my husband would react in a similar way as you, if he had to go on a tour with a woman that had been given fatwa. So I do respect your way of thinking and I can see the love behind your actions.

I even understand how sometimes obeying God could mean breaking the law. God sure can lead us to act so, for His greater purposes.

And no, I'm not that kind of a person who get offended too easy. So as long as I'm concerned, I have no problems for us remaining friends. πŸ˜‡ I don't mind us having different views in some areas, but I do like to change thoughts and express my opinion! In that way I might learn something or understand things in a new way. If that's OK for you. 😊
