RE: Why I decided to get my Concealed Carry Permit
Good on you - and your post will be posted on Gab.ai to encourage those who believe as you do but still hesitate. Everyone wants to think of themself as being civilised, but I consider being suicidal (not willing to protect yourself or those you love) as being uncivilised.
I agree with you. If I ever have to shoot someone, I will probably end up in therapy. But until humanity reaches the point of understanding that people are not going to simply sit home and watch their children die from starvation or some disease that could have been treated if medical care was not priced out of the reach of the average person in the world, there will always be people intent on doing harm.
Every person on earth is capable of doing evil in the right situation. The more necessities people have to do without, the more capable of doing evil they are. Most of these types of people can be talked down from doing what they are trying to do. But not all of them. There are some people who have reached the breaking point and unless you can protect yourself from them, they will hurt/kill you.
I will never pull a gun unless there is not choice. I will always try to defuse a situation with talk before taking it further. But I will not lay down and allow someone to beat/rape/kill me without fighting back and protecting myself.
