I have other hobbies, but they (generally) don't cross over into possible life or death situations. OK, maybe sports cars, but only if something goes terribly wrong (just like guns). I check in on a few gun boards, but I don't see the "I wanna get into a gunfight" mentality on ANY of them, particularly the one CCW board I frequent. After hearing about the lack of accuracy by LEOs and seeing it first hand at shooting competitions, I wish more of them would be a little more obsessed about handguns.
For the record, I do know CCW holders who have "police dogs" (dogs trained to attack on command), who do carry OC or Tasers and high output flashlights so they have less lethal options if something happens. Are they being too paranoid?
Another thing to consider about the lack of posters' other hobbies on gun boards is a lot of the boards, including and especially this one, have rules about keeping topics gun related, unless they have off topic sub-forums.
Actually, now that I think about it, the OP kinda sounds to me like a troll trying to get people wound up.
