I had a change in views just about 15 minutes ago that I would like to share with you.
Before then I thought some of you were a little nuts. Not just a little bit; but of your talk of your Last Resort Guns, What "Condition" you were in, and stuff like that I thought some of you were not just a pickle shy, but half a barrel. I really thought there was some weird ones on this board.
That was until I saw this cruising the boards.

And then This.

Scary thing was I go down to SLC to shop. Been to that mall before. Fiance' went down there to look for a wedding dress couple months ago; I head down there to look for guns. It's a nice place, even though alcohol policies and taxes suck badly. (We can go into that on another discussion).
Before this the stories and reports didn't really hit home.
It wasn't that my views changed on Guns, but on HOW I CARRY.
I have shot competitively since I was 10, I am a NRA instructor. I have even worked behind GUN COUNTER selling guns. Do I carry. Yep, since I turned 21. Do I shoot my CC gun. Yep, probably 1,000 rounds a year. I sometimes even compete with it.
But The Question is.
DO I CARRY ALL THE TIME??
Nope. My opinion these days, its more of a hassle to carry. I haven't carried it in a couple of months. I used my CWP to make a gun transaction go easier a couple of days ago. And yep, I have a really nice knife I carry. But I have heard don't bring a knife to a gunfight. And that fight above I would have lost. Could I have helped in the SLC situation. Probably not. Even though I am LICENSED and ALLOWED TO CARRY. I haven't been.
So after really reading the posts I thought "So really what good am I"
Not much, I decided.
So with someone posting the links above. I would like to say thank you. Thank you, for hopefully your ONE post could help me out. Because it will get my ass back into carrying. Thanks for showing me, that my couple rounds could have helped. Thank you for showing me that even though I wasn't carrying this past time I should of.
I also did realize that yes, many of you are still a few pickles shy. Maybe a bunch more. But I would like to join the club.
