I waited for some of the more asinine aspects of Ohio CCW law to change before I got my CHL.
Now I carry virtually every day, although I can't carry INTO work.
NOBODY is going to protect me except ME. That's just a matter of law and physical reality.
I MIGHT not be able to defend myself. I KNOW nobody else is going to.
It's interesting to see people's reactions when you tell them that the police have no duty to protect you as an individual, no liability if they don't, and in any case no physical ability. It's like them hearing for the first time that there's no Santa.
But as I'm fond of saying, wishful thinking is a really lousy survival strategy...
