With all the senseless gun violence happening across the country, I hardly if ever want to leave the house unless absolutely necessary these days. I know you never know what time you will die, but I don't want my life cut short because some little punk couldn't hack it and decide to take a few innocent people with him. Anywhere I go, I sit close to an exit and observe the behavior of others. I have a CCW and out here, you can pretty much carry anywhere, but honestly it is such a pain, and I don't feel like having a gun on me all the time. Thoughts?
Hello CenturyClass,
Most violence is SENSELESS yet there are FEWER DEATHS BY GUNS (semi/full auto Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns, Bazookas, sub-semi-full auto machine guns) than KNIVES, BOMBS, NATURE, so just relax.
Correct, NO ONE KNOWS when they'll die, so ENJOY LIFE. WHEN YOU DIE, IT WILL THEN BE YOUR TIME.
You're more likely to get hit by some out of control vehicle on a street or road than shot by some whack job with a pistol, rifle, machine gun, etc.
Not every shooting happens in a ghetto nor is caused by people from a ghetto.
Carrying Concealed doesn't mean anything IF you're assaulted and there's a nice, sharp sword or similar on your throat or crotch.
At that point, your CCW and Weapon are worthless.
I as well "observe the behaviour of others" when out and about ESPECIALLY when at truck stops day and night.
IF you're paranoid, it doesn't mean no one is out to get ya, so just stay home and seal the entrances/exits, chop a hole in the front room floor and dig a bunker.
It's the
WHAT IF principle.
I have NO Concealed Weapon on me whatsoever yet KEYS can be weapons as well small knives as well steel toed boots and just about anything within reach that can be thrown or used as a blocker.
I was never in the Military so I didn't first or second hand experience any general incidents or major violence.
I'm just a private civilian in a third rate country on a dying Planet.
IMPROVISE,
ADAPT,
OVERCOME.
How about ALL THE POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTINGS like when these halfwits kick in the doors of the WRONG ADDRESSES and more often than not MURDER INNOCENT PEOPLE??
Wouldn't such ADD to the "gun violence" count??
CHEERS!!
