Firearms and Fat asses I'm a gun guy, I carry a gun daily, legally, and I do so in the very unlikely chance I need to protect myself or my family.  My wife does as well.  You can argue the pros and cons of this if you like, but thats another issue.  While learning about firearms, which many people do carry for the same reason I do, I went to youtube and learned quite a bit from a number of good vlog type channels, and interestingly these guys were older and in shape.  But youtube being what it is there are vlogs by dozens and dozens of guys like this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UffSaVvxcXY https://youtu.be/0hTDtpzXyco?t=2m12s https://youtu.be/VRcvbgbhJPg?t=32s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxtv1KQimis I could probably link 100's without even trying, it took me all of 20 seconds to find those and I just started looking.  Its infuriating and bewildering how people spend 1000's of dollars on guns, ammo, and holsters (if you don't have shooting as a hobby you won't know this but its more expensive than playing golf), spend hours and hours training, for the maybe 40% chance of needing to even draw their weapon in defense in their life time, but won't do jack about whats most likely going to kill and disable them.   Heart disease, diabetes, cancer, you name it, all things known to be increased by obesity.  On a side note, if you do concealed carry, its MUCH easier if you are thin, I can wear a tight t-shirt and carry a 9mm without it showing, fat guys are very limited on where they can put a gun, due to their guts, and how they can draw it, again due to the guts.  I was at the range today and noticed either guy guys were all healthy BMI, or planets.  One such planet had to be 450lbs in his early 30's and he could barely fit in the narrow firing lanes.
