I have my certification now. My two-hour drive home gave me plenty of time to think about the responsibility I was now on the verge of undertaking.
It is a huge responsibility, and for someone growing up without any guns in our home, a significant lifestyle change.
People who take CCW training almost universally come out of their courses appreciating the consequences of this new responsibility, and the more you carry the more it becomes part of you.
Ironically, you are now among that class of Americans that the Brady Campaign (formerly Handgun Control, Inc.) insists are going to snap and run amuck in schools, churches, banks, fairs, hospitals, and between your living room and bathroom. Welcome to our community of the last acceptable targets of social bigotry in America.
[Dead men cannot sue you in civil court.]
Bad advice, indeed. Most dead men have families, and the suit will be filed just as surely.
