240 and his eager trigger finger would be the best option or willing to kill them. That being said, better to have that option than not.
Nah, ya got me all wrong. I'm prepared but I pray I'll never have to ever draw my weapon. I got punched once in my early 20s thanks to the kids I was with, and I never pulled my gun. I've been in tight situations and never pulled it. I've had people talk shit in traffic a million times, never revealed it.
I vehemently defend the 2nd amendment, and I hope that if I never need to use it. But reality is, the world is dangerous. SW Fla saw another home invasion in middle of night last night. WTF is wrong with people? I sure as hell wish police could sweep up all the crinimals and solve every crime so I wouldn't have to think like this. But the bad guys are out there, and you just never know.
I'm not paranoid. I just like to use a little risk assessment. Let's say there is a .00001% chance I will be carjacked today. Very small. But the outcome - losing car or possibly being shot - outweighs the small chance of it happening, and I carry my weapon and watch my rear view.
I don't like it. I would love to go back to not worrying about stuff like this. But like most of us, I realize bad shit happens to good people sometimes. And my own brother would be dead 2 years now if he hadn't fired in self defense.
