Why do you carry a gun?? Odds are you will never even come remotely close to using it. I keep paracord in my truck for the same reason I carry my handgun, I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
Do we have OS's blessing? I started a thread a year or so ago about him getting some patches and he was on board but never heard anything else about it. I would def buy 3 or 10!
I said something about this last year. Didn't hear one thing else about it......
