I consider myself to be a "survivalist" in that I choose to be as self-reliant as possible and I do not just assume that the government will be there to protect me or save me when bad things happen. I am armed because I cant fit a cop in my pocket; and at home I choose to maintain a supply of water, food, fuel and other supplies that may not be available in the event of a major catastrophe. To me, this defines "survivalist thinking" and I wonder why anyone would take issue with it.
Business owners and fellow drivers may not share your viewpoint you have more than your safety to consider. We all know the chances of you carrying while driving for UPS are zero. Brinks or Loomis are your only chance of guns and delivering.
