So a little background about me I'm a 18 year old with a fresh new CCW of about a month or so. I carry when it's law abiding and so on and so forth.
Now I have dinner at my moms place tonight and I start talking about my concealed pistol. First of all my moms not completely anti gun but she doesn't understand my love with them at all. BUT I'm not allowed to carry in her household thanks to my step father. But I still honor it,
So we start discussing and he thinks that because I'm a "dumb teenager" that I'm "endangering other people by having a concealed firearm." I ask him why. He brings up a scenario of an attacker coming at me with a knife and me pulling out my weapon and since I have a weapon he'll either get more angry and attack me rather than just robbing me or he'll pull out his own gun and shoot me.
AND THEN his second scenario is that I'm in a dark alley and an attacker comes at me, my life is in extreme danger, I pull out my firearm, fire, and miss and hit and innocent bystander. So according to him I'm a danger to others by carrying.
And his last argument is that he sees no reason at all for me carrying a concealed weapon.
This thread is part rant part question. Why do you carry? Would you see these scenarios as a legitimate argument?
Any input is highly appreciated.
Edit: My apologies for the large amount of grammatical errors.
