Should you carry a gun while trick-or-treating?

Yeah, they're probably better off calling the cops and waiting for them to handle a situation. I carry all the time, so it doesn't matter.

If you see a monster or a zombie, or a walking skeleton coming the other way please don't shoot, it's just some kid dressed up. It's called Halloween.

Should I stop carrying a gun because it’s Halloween?

Of course. It's for the children. Let the cops handle it.

Being armed is smart because otherwise there could be bad guys going around robbing some kids of their candy at gunpoint. I say arm the kids, too... but with smaller caliber stuff.

I'd love to read a news story about a 10 year old boy protecting his sister's candy haul by putting a coupla rounds in a perp.

I don't know whether to put all this in green or not.

Kidnapping and sex slavery is still a thing.

When seconds count, the police are minutes away. 😂

That's a helluva trick to pull if your precious little Timmy doesn't get the treats he so rightfully deserves.

If you dress up as Barney Fife, then by all means strap on a hog-leg.

Nick, the world has gone to hell. Had a guy trying to get my daughter to go with him at a Chuckie Cheese one time. I would have been fine with shooting him instead of a punch in the throat. That was 30 years ago. I guess I would probably not have needed to shoot him, he was incapacitated. It would have taken longer to pull a piece than it did to stop him anyway

Kids stealing candy from each other, yeah, that is why

Wow. I posted the video because I thought that those who carry will find in humorous.

Harrell is a sensible and very well respected person concerning proper safety, gun mechanics and handling, and general information.

I didn't expect the people who are against law abiding citizens having the ability to legally and safely protect themselves by carrying a weapon getting triggered (pardon the pun). You don't want to carry? No problem.
