Have you seen the SIZE of the decks on the cover of the decking and garden magazines lately!!! Those people are CRAZY!!!
Same thing... they always show the most extreme, you are right Bruce.
Since moving to the city the only time I have pulled my weapon out is to go to the range, to clean it and once when someone came into my yard at night... I told him to leave, he did.
I am a pacifist, a true pacifist, I have never once hit or harmed another human out of anger. I am not going to let someone harm me or my family, I believe in self defense, but am not ever looking to harm anyone.
However, I am never going to take a chance with my life or my families.
Letting someone have the chance to do harm to myself or my family is immoral, so I won't do it... it is simple.
When I did conceal carry I never had the impulse to shoot the guy who ran me off the road on my bike, which did happen, or a dog that was bothering me (well, perhaps a little, but I didn't)... it just does not work that way.
It is a weapon of last resort, and that is when you use it, but when the time does come, you do not hesitate.
You can invent all the scenarios you want Spexxvet, but my training, my desire not to kill, and a lifetime of experience with my weapon tells me when it is time to take out my gun. Once I do, I do not think twice about using it when the time comes, because that is when they shoot you.
