It's not even one of my reasons for having a concealed carry permit.
Let me tell you again
I am not a cop.
I do not want to be a cop.
I carry for self defense (this includes the defense of my wife) and no other reason.
If I see you getting the snot kicked out of you by some low life piece of shit I for one will not draw my weapon in your defense because my weapon is for self defense only.
You have made the choice to be unarmed and to trust your safety to local law enforcement and I respect that choice. So what I will do is call the cops for you and I'll call an ambulance too and I will hope they get there before you are too severely injured.
Now all you have to do is respect my personal choices as much as I respect yours.
That's not too much to ask is it?
Got it. For the purposes of this conversation, you don't want to be identified as just another gun nut who has wet dreams about the day he can become the real Charles Bronson, and save the day. I don't believe you, but that doesn't matter. You prefer to be seen as someone who is so afraid of interacting with real people in real life till you think you need to be armed to join society. Most consider that flaw as being a coward.
IDGAF if you believe it or not.
If I wanted to fight crime I'd have been a cop.
I don't want to fight crime ergo I am not a cop.
And I interact with the public every day whether I want to or not.
You can't seem to understand that to me carrying a firearm is no different than carrying a multi tool on my belt or a pocket knife or my car keys. BTW I carry all those things every day.
It's you who have some type of conflated picture of what a gun actually is not me.
But tell me what's the point of having a CCW permit if you don't carry? Why have a drivers license if you don't drive?
I carry for self defense and self defense only I don't try to predict what is going to happen in the future all I can do is be prepared for it it's the same reason I never let my home and car insurance lapse
But you being so afraid of guns won't understand that
