Question to concealed gun holders

[pop 0]

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the reason you guys carry concealed weapons is in case you might need to protect yourself. When you leave your house and you strap on your gun, do you also put on a bullet proof vest, you know just in case you might need to protect yourself?

When you cook out in the back yard, do you just make sure the water hose is handy, or do you call the fire department and have them send a truck over just in case? When you go to the dropzone, do you have them put up a stuntman's landing pad, in case your reserve malfunctions?

You suffer from the (all too common among anti-2nd Amendment types) ridiculous idea that CHL holders are going out "looking for trouble". The slightest amount of research on any pro-2nd site would have shown you that CHL holders go to extremes to stay OUT of that type of situation and only plan to use their weapon as a last resort, if trouble comes and finds there.

Your "fishing" is becoming trollish.

I do not. It would be better for them to have one.

Nope, no bullet proof vest. With my trusty Glock and cat-like reflexes I am good to go.

You are right. I am trolling...and i ll stop, but to what extent do you need to protect yourself? If you have one gun on you, why not carry two....in case that one moment that you are preparing for comes. Do you guys live out of fear? Why do you feel you have to be armed to walk the streets? What is truly the driver that makes you feel you have to me armed to live life?

Why do you wear your seatbelt when you drive? Assuming you do. I like to be prepared. I have no fear in my life and I don't carry all the time. In certain situations I do. If something happens I will be prepared. Merely stacking the deck in my favor. It is really that simple.

More importantly...why is your outlook biased so that you consider the ONLY reason to have a gun is due to fear, but the other examples that I provided are considered "being prepared"?

I dont think I live in fear, but I also dont walk around with a weapon on me. I have two fists, a brain, and a mouth that usually gets me out of things. And if that doesnt stand up to a gun one day in case someone pulls one on me...then I guess i am out of luck. I dont feel like I live in a war zone where I have to be strapped.

I don't live in fear either - but I wear a seatbelt so I'm prepared in case of an accident, I keep a hose or extinguisher handy when I bbq in case of a fire, and I have a gun in case someone offers me deadly harm.

My brother was carjacked at gun point. My brother had a gun on him, which he chose not to pull out. And I am so thankful that he didn’t, because only god knows how badly that could have escalated the situation that was simply solved by giving up the car. My brother was armed, but he chose not to pull out the gun to not create a situation where bullets might go flying. You see what I am saying?

Sounds like he did the right thing for that situation - have you told your brother that he shouldn't have had a pistol, or is that reserved for us?

Well yes I do!

You guys definitely need guns, and vests, and the whole deal. You have a real need for it.

At least you're consistent - kudos to you for that.

Just because drawing his pistol was inappropriate for that situation does not make that solution valid for all situations, however. I admit, I cannot understand the mentality that would submit to the good intentions of a criminal without the presence of overwhelming force.

You don't really expect anyone on this forum to say that they live in fear do you?

Even if fear or feelings of insecurity are the root reason to carry a weapon, I expect that few would openly admit it and would justify being armed with a gun another way. Perhaps it would be hard to consciously admit it to them selves as living in fear is not something pleasant to think about.

I couldn't agree more.
So long as the criminals know they can take advantage of us because we won't fight back, they will do just that.

Hey Pop, here's a question for you.
When you contract with someone to provide a professional service (such as rewriting a sales brochure) and promise to pay for that service, repeatedly, but then fail to deliver that promised payment, do you think anyone should believe your statements on any other subject?

I'm confused, isn't your argument that, since the gun is present, that your brother should have started randomly shooting in all directions? But he didn't........WTF?

I'm sure that owning the gun, he went purposely looking for a carjacker......

Does he use the gun to kill cans and paper?

I suspect he must also shoot the gun at the car in order to turn off the car. That, and house lights. (guns are so handy for use as a remote control)

Are you scared to be around him? He might just shoot you for no reason.

Stop blabbering...read again. My argument was that had he pulled out the gun it would have escalated the situation which could have ended in death. This was avoided by using brains, giving up the car and walking away alive.

You should stop your blabbering because you are contradicting yourself. You have statred in the past that when people carry guns it will escalate into a Wild West Shootout. Your example shows that did not happen. Most people who carry concealed do it smartly.
