I didn't call everyone that has a gun a coward. I said that people that get a gun simply because they are afraid are going to continue to be afraid after they get the gun. Those people are cowards.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons why people have guns. Having one because you are afraid to face life without one isn't one of them.
I used to have what amounted to a full carry permit when I had my club. It was a restricted premises license, but as I was allowed to carry it whenever and wherever I was engaged in business activity, and also to or from the range, and I was a member of a 24 hour range, I could pretty much carry it at all times. I didn't want it, didn't need it, but my insurance company required an armed guard whenever we were withdrawing or depositing over 15K and since that was sometimes two or three times a week, it was cheaper for me to do it myself than to hire an escort . In NYC, armed escorts generally run $75-100 a run.
When I was younger, I had an AR-15 and even owned an UZI for a short while, but sold it after about two months.
