I live in a semi-rural area, but just about every old man I know is packing

Honestly it's more wealth and fear of the poor people.

How odd that it's only old men! Being that minorities, women and LGBT people are the largest gun buying demographic, you would think they'd be carrying as well.

I understand your sentiment but please don't put words in my mouth. The topic of the meme was old men, I talked about old men. I know lots of women and minorities and other disenfranchised groups that are armed as well. And young men, but honestly few demographics are more armed than old men in my arsa. Also I have lived in many different places than where I'm living now.
