In response to:
When the president of the USA, all Secret Service, and all those 'famous' people who employ bodyguards who carry guns get rid of their guns, I will get rid of mine. If it's ok for Mr Obama's Secret Service to carry for personal protection then it's ok for me to carry one as well. His life is not as important as mine is in my opinion.
When you're in a hole, stop digging. Last night NBC sportscaster Bob Costas made an appearance on the O'Reilly Fact in an effort to clear up any "misunderstanding" about what he said during his anti-gun monologue on Sunday night football in reaction to NFL player Jovan Belcher killing the mother of his child. Yesterday, Costas issued a non-apology for his comments that was full of excuses and one that blamed viewers for misinterpreting what he really meant and said.
"I don't back up on anything I said."
I still won't get rid of mine and I don't believe you will either. Mine help bring food to the table (including the "hand guns") as well as protection. Bob Costas and the other Brady bunch can shove it up someplace warm.
