Please tell me why you carry? Is it based on crime in your area or your job?

For me it was several reasons...when I started carrying I was living in AZ which had a significant criminal element, but I also looked at the area I grew up in which is rural PA and when I was a kid, people didn't even lock thier doors...now, even up there in the country, people have seen home invasions and burglaries...

 

For me it's, as was stated before, like wearing a seat belt, or having insurance...its not that I'm afraid that something is going to happen, but in the event something does happen, you have an added level of protection.

 

In this day, you never know where a criminal will strike and police can't be everywhere, especially in rural areas (where I grew up in PA, police response was well over 30 minutes).

As the old saying goes...

"Why do you carry a gun?"

"Because I can't carry a cop..."

I have several guns but don't carry. I don't feel the need to. I support the rights of anyone who does though. Please tell me why you carry? Is it based on crime in your area or your job?

 

I got jumped by two guys. Still makes me mad thinking about it. Not gonna be a victim again.

I've been jumped myself. Took brass knuckles to the back of my head and a Jordan to the top mount head.

I was leaving a friend's house and two fat 40something dudes came up to me asking for my cell phone. Before I know it I'm on the ground and one of them is strangling me while the other just sat there watching. They took off when a car started honking. No idea what that was about but that won't happen to me again.

I think my dumb 19 year old self slept with someone's woman. I didn't necessarily ask for the reason. I have her name to cops and they got the guys.

Didn't conceal it today since I'm just in my garage/driveway, have before though. Suspenders and a good belt work wonders if I did conceal this more often.

I carry a M&P 9c. Always have it on me. Switching to a glock 19 after the holidays. I don't need to carry where I am, but like everyone has said, I sure as hell won't be a victim. Went a step further and got my Utah CHL as well as my Oregon CHL. 32 different states to carry in. Might as well be prepared.

Sig P290 9mm most of the time.

 

Glock 33 .357Sig if I need a little more cap and firepower.

 

Ruger LCP .380 if I just need a pocket pistol.

Must be uncomfortable to carry 2 clips, would be better to carry magazines. Well unless you don't know the difference and meant mags.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
