When people ask me why I carry, I generally see it as an opening to get my viewpoint across to people who may not get it. I like to include real life examples the difference that carrying has made to carriers and their love ones. No one goes out thinking "today is the day I defend myself from thugs", but there are plenty of cases of people who get to the end of the day and because of events beyond their control think" thank god I carried today". And many cases of people who get to the end of the day and wish that they or a loved one had been carrying that day
I was reading a story tonight (first story below) on Cnn about a guy jogging and being killed by some kids who who were bored. It reminded me of another story of a Pa man who pulled a gun and shot one of the people who pushed him off his bike and were attacking him. (2nd story below)
Antis like to put their head in the sand and minimalize the impact that citizens who carry can make. Here we have a tale of two people outdoors enjoying life. One was 23 and basically just starting out his life, the other 65 and hitting the twilight of his life. Both were attacked by low lifes. One of them walked away from the attack. The other did not. The difference, the one who lived was carrying a gun and able to protect himself from the low lifes.
Just another example to add to the discussion the next time someone does not see the point of carrying or wonders why you do.
What do you say when some asks. Ignore them? Become confrontational? Use one liners like "because the Constitution says I can! Engage in debate? Use it as an invitation to get your viewpoint out there? Etc.....
I am not sure of this boards rules about posting articles yet, so am just including a title and link to be on the safe side.
We decided to kill somebody
