"Until you've been in a situation where you've been robbed at gun point, or you've had a gun waived in your face, or been car jacked, you really don't know what it feels like," Porter said during an interview with ESPN that will air on Wednesday.
Porter, a victim of a shooting outside a Denver nightclub five years ago, admitted he's a gun owner.
"For a person to carry a gun you're not carrying a gun to show that, 'Oh, I'm tough.' It's nothing but safety," Porter said.
