The only time I've ever needed a gun, I had one because I knowingly entered into a situation where it might be needed.

That was very brief period when I was repossessing cars in miami.

Sure, there are instances in normal life such as hiking in an unfamiliar place or through your career that you need guns but my experience has always been to be where the gun's and bad people aren't.

Good luck with that. There is very few places where guns or bad folks may not be.... but probably are.......

Having a CHL is insurance. It gives you another option. One that may be needed but hopefully not.

Being prepared for the worst is not a bad idea at all.

Right!  :)

There are a lot of bad people in this world.  Being prepared doesn't equate to worrying about them.  Situational awareness does apply everywhere.  Worrying does not.



I have a winch on my Jeep.  Not because I think that I will get stuck on the way to work, but in case I get stuck when recreating in my vehicle.

I see nothing wrong with preparedness.

Such as in a movie theater with your family, for instance?

1) Its fluffied up to start with that many of you feel like you 'need' to carry a weapon where ever you go... think about that...
2) Usually guns just up the ante, and in the worst situations, are often not expected and as such, even if you had a gun you probably will not be prepared to use it.
3) Its easy to talk tough boy talk.. but for anyone with any moral compass, to actually follow through and kill someone is no easy task and the decision will weigh heavily on you for the rest of your life regardless of the situation.
4) your d1ck is still small with the gun... just saying...
Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

1)  Is it fluffed up to feel a need to keep a flashlight in one's house at all times given the fact that one's eyes will adjust to most levels of darkness in a relatively short amount of time.  How about keeping an umbrella in the car when it threatens to rain?  Just saying...

2)  Exactly the reason it is an advantage over a would-be attacker.  Most legal concealed carriers are responsible people with a weapon and would not use it to escalate a situation, or solely for intimidation.  Also, I always advocate proper firearm training.  Not being prepared to use one's firearm is tantamount to the magazine being empty.

3)  Perhaps...  Then again, for those of us in this country that have seen live, armed combat, the only hesitation would be between the end of an exhalation in the "Breathe, Relax, Aim, Squeeze" mantra before firing.  If my life, that of someone in my family or someone under my charge was in danger, I can guarantee you, with utmost certainty, that the morality of the situation would not cross my mind until long after the smell of cordite has left the air and my ears have stopped ringing.

4) Why are you looking at it?    :neener:

In 30 years of shooting, 20+ years of having a weapon close by, I've never 'needed' one.

I hope I never do.  I don't want to shoot anybody, but I won't hesitate one second if I need to do it.  I know how I operate.

I'm not going out of my way to find confrontations, and when I have seen them, I've called the police to let them handle them.  I'm not a Cop.

You like poking people, Ardy, just for the sake or stirring up things.  You did it in the game, and you do it here with insults.  Why?
