Henry: You have a point. Even if you put one antisocial mug in the ground, a dozen or so others will soon be hovering around you like vultures. That’s really the major lesson I took away from CCW training:

SHOOTING SOMEONE WILL F**K UP YOUR LIFE BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION!

I am pro-gun, pro-concealed-carry, I belong to the NRA, and I’m as game as they come. I’d rather shoot someone and have a f**ked-up life than have no life at all. But I still don’t carry a firearm. I have assessed my environment, my travels, my encounters with less-than-friendly people, and concluded that the threat level is too low to justify CCH. At the moment, anyway. Situations change. I’d always like to have the option should I decide it’s necessary.
