Concealed Carry: Prime Examples where CCW Shooting is Justified

[johnny_yuma]

Thank you. I completely understand that. The assumption of this post was education on what to look for in example situations where it is beyond reasonable doubt, necessary -with all considerations for saving human life- for a legal concealed carry permit holder to employ their firearm in self defense. My words were not intended to come across reckless, in fact it should be considered a basic *assumption* that discharging of a firearm in any event, very likely will end the life of another human being. Therefore the language "to kill" another human being assumes potentially lethal force.. My post was because I take the matter very seriously... and I think we have had numerous post here to shed knowledge on the mindset required for CCW, and the reality of the gravity of a self defense encounter. Thanks to the numerous enlightening posts. It has been a very educational experience. I hope to God that I am never, ever in a situation that requires use of a firearm. Thanks all.

Does anyone know where I can get a fair and balanced review of my S&W Model 66. It's brush nickel still in the original box. I purchased it from the original owner who bought it approx 30 years ago. Just re-qualified here under the Federal Law/State run IROCC program. What is it worth ?

I'm more likely to be in an auto accident than a SD shooting.

It's all about YOU. What YOU can explain as reasonable based on what you perceived and thought at the time. Pretty simple. If you feel like your life is in danger, shoot. If not, don't. Even if someone else under the same circumstances did.

Is it a 66-1? Look on the frame, under the forcing cone after you break open the cylinder. It will say 66, or 66-1, or 66-2, etc. If the charge holes where the bullets go in the cylinder are recessed and the barrel is pinned, I'd say it's worth at least 700-800 if it has a 2" Barrel. If it has a longer barrel, a couple hundred less. I've never heard of a "brushed stainless" finish for that gun though. If it is not pinned and recessed, it's worth less.

Model 66 is a great .357. I prefer the snubs though. If I were going to carry anything physically larger than that, it would be a semi-auto.
