Mind if I share a moment?

I just got my concealed carry permit, and I'm not feeling good about it. It was mostly in response to finding an RFID chip in my backpack that wasn't mine. I've been stalked before, and it's a dangerous world out there.

I dislike having it, but I'm a pragmatic person. I have no intention of carrying all the time, nor do I feel threatened under most circumstances. Generally, being a relatively large, brutish-looking white man with bad RBF is enough to keep people away.

I know how fortunate I am to have the luxury of those thoughts.

I also know how thin the line is between inconceivable and happening right in front of me, which is why I got the permit. Just in the possible event that I'll need it, for myself or my children.

I still don't like it.

I don’t like guns. However, if you have one then get all the training possible, keep it secure ands safe x10.

Also, not being a jerk, just my thought…if something happened could you get it fast enough in most situations?

Thank you for the thoughts. I have *much* training and have multiple redundant safety measures that I can still clear quickly when needed. I also know where to engage and when to shift to a different weapon (to avoid blowthrough or riccochets) in most of the places I go - job habits.
