    I was talking guns with an old guy at my last job, he said that everywhere in his house you are never more than 5 feet from a gun, he’s got so many loaded and stashed around his house, just I’m case. I thought that was one of the most insane things I’ve ever heard. Dude really thought someone was going to clockwork orange them every night and he had to be ready for a gunfight at any second. Yeah it’s life in the country and it might be an hour to a hospital and you gotta fend for yourself, but to assume that you’re going to come under violent assault at any moment and have to be ready to shoot it out with anyone has to be extremely draining. It definitely explained his attitude towards others though, always thought the worst of things he didn’t understand.
